I'm 6'5 and I hate animals so much that I spend five hours a day screaming in wordless rage at pictures of happy piglets frolicking. Refute that, Glenn!
I'm somewhat confused as to how Mayor Frey remained in power in Minneapolis after BLM. I looked up Ferguson's mayor during the riots, James Knowles III, and he also remained in power. Tom Bradley was hurt by the 1992 LA riots and resigned the following year -- Bradley was black. So maybe riots hurt black incumbents more than white incumbents.
Progressives (as in, left of Frey) went way overboard and didn’t even pretend to care about looting or surging violent crime, then got a very ill conceived and unpopular referendum on the ballot to reorganize the police department. Plus there were a lot of opposition candidates running, not just one for everybody to rally around.
Regarding point 6: it should be noted that the Brazilian meat-packing company JBS had so many Brazilian politicians on its payroll that, the day the turning state's of evidence of Joesley Batista (JBS's owner) in an anti-corruption investigation was released to the press, the Brazilian stock exchange droped 9% and had to enact a circuit-breaker for the first since the 2008 financial crash.
(Albeit, mostly because it was leaked that then-president Temer had authorized Joesley to pay a huge bribe to the previous speaker of the Chamber of Deputies).
I haven't gotten to the Richard Hanania interview yet, but you have to admit it's very funny for him to be who he is and say "yeah I went to a troubled teen camp in Mexico, and *I* turned out fine, what's the big deal?". Also reporting for a height check
"It should probably be bigger news that Trump is trying to weaponize the Justice Department to shut down the largest Democratic fundraising platform, and some top Democrats think he’s going to succeed."
To be honest, they might do better with less money. Kamala had a twice as big campaign budget and spent it frivolously.
"7: Dennis McCarthy writes about new evidence of extraterrestrial life on a planet 120 light-years from Earth, K2-18b. The New York Times reports:"
There seem to be a significant number of credible-sounding astronomers who think the dimethyl sulfide signal on K2-18b was overstated, and that the various reports promoting life on the planet contradict each other. Maybe further observation will make it clearer, but there's a lot of room to make mistakes when glancing at a speck of a planet zillions of miles in the distance.
Whats with the diminutive stature of substack utilitarians? This might be the best argument for deontology
I’m pretty sure 5’10” is above average in the United States? (Something like 51st percentile but still above average.)

Wendt’s work is postmodern gibberish and so of course he falls for the UFO nonsense.

I wanna say 6'1"
I'm 6'2", good guess
You should denounce the factory farms for torturing animals but child labor is good.
