Vindictive man child-rapist running US.

About what time should I come over?

The People v Larry Flynt sets a precedent for smut peddlers taking a necessary moral stance, I guess

See my comment to OP for a recentish publication that shows the same thing all studies previously have shown. You are quite correct.

No one that has looked at this in a serious way agrees with you.

From the abstract:

“These results suggest that the movements involved in handwriting allow a greater memorization of new words. The advantage of handwriting over typing might also be caused by a more positive mood during learning. Finally, our results show that handwriting with a digital pen and tablet can increase the ability to learn compared with keyboard typing once the individuals are accustomed to it.”

Handwriting helps retention better than typing.

They really just seem to want to avoid challenging conversations, don’t they?

True true.

Imagine further if Henry Wallace had not been replaced as FDR’s VP by Truman just a few months before FDR died. We would have had a real scientist (HW was a corn geneticist who founded the first hybrid corn seed company) at the helm.

The post-world war 2 world would have developed very differently.

Wow, thanks for that. I struggled for decades and also had a difficult time after a breakthrough. I describe it as being released from a long stint in prison, but there is no one to pick you up at the gate. There’s still a long walk ahead of you.

Yeah things are much better now, but my life path is still altered forever, there’s no going back.

If you insist. My ass is very shapely as a result of dedication to that cause and I draw attention to it whenever possible.

In this essay, I will ….

Yeah, I mean the Clintons were balls-deep in the origin of Third Way. Center-left, my shapley ass. They make Goldwater Republicans look progressive.

It won’t change Jizzedina Davenport Vance’s mind. It will embolden others to do the same and eventually maybe he gets a proper crowd-sourced spa treatment.

I hope Zelensky goes back to comedy after his political career. So much source material!

Being seen as having rizz at the national level is nothing to scoff at. We disdain celebrity but it is hard to obtain and keep. It can be used for good or ill, but the competencies needed for durable celebrity status are many.

Think about all the skills and consistency a person who is on camera all the time has to have. They need to be internally consistent. They need to know who they are and project themselves well. they need to know how to manage a media career and they need to speak ideas that resonate with an audience and make people want to remember their name.

You are absolutely correct celebrity and politician have always been intertwined professions.
