Worked on this for several months last year. Likely needs updating, but it's pretty complete: a Google map of all the independent brick-and-mortar bookstores in America and Canada. www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

Wherever the Republican National Convention meets, it is well documented that sex workers who offer dominatrix and kink services flock and flourish.

A tweet and a response to it.
Original tweet from Godly Nation:
“What’s one thing Republican women have that Democratic women don’t?” along with a picture of two women posing for the camera.
Lion’O Messy’s response: “A husband with a GRINDR account.”

Maaaaaaybe 'cause they don't care about your book. (I don't, for one.) We all want to know what living with an conspiracy-theory-driven nutbag is like.

Scent of the day: Shalimar.
Top notes: bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange, and cedar. (This was my first college GF's go-to scent, and I STILL have a visceral and physical reaction to it when I smell it.) #sotd #perfumesky

Interestingly enough, if you think of tolerance as part of the social contract instead of an moral ideal, the paradox falls apart. Those who step out of the social contract (that is, into intolerance) have voluntarily left any protection (tolerance) from the social contract.

A description of Popper's Paradox:
Frame one:
Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? Nazi says "You want more tolerance? Respect my ideas." The answer is NO. Caption: It's a paradox, but unlimited tolerance can lead to the extinction of tolerance.
Frame 2:
When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant, the tolerant ones end up being destroyed, and tolerance with them.
Frame 3:
Any movement that repfaces intolerance and persecution must be outside the law. Popper: "As paradoxical as it may seem defending tolerance requires to not tolerate the intolerant."

Scent of the day: Hellfire.
A scent celebrating Sir Francis Dashwood’s Hellfire Club. A swirl of pipe tobacco, hot leather, ambergris, dark musk and the lingering incense smoke from their Black Mass. #perfumesky #bpal #sotd

The latter, to be sure, although a plethora of complaints can easily be generated via bot. And do you think Amazon, or Audible, or B&N (cursed be their names!) check on the validity of bot-generated complaints?

My first intimate girlfriend wore Shalimar (the real stuff, not the cologne), and I STILL have a visceral and physical reaction when I smell the stuff.
