These parents killed their kid. It’s not an ‘unthinkable tragedy’, it’s criminal negligence.
“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust,” said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died of measles. In March, Tom Bartlett wrote about his visit with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy.

2025: Hegemonic Suicide and Other Innovations
Every generation, on reaching middle age, begins to see the world around them in decline in order to habituate themselves to their own decay.

Extracting value on the front end of development (community benefits) instead of the back end (taxes) is eating the seed corn. It'll never produce as much community benefits as planting a good harvest and sowing it when it ripens.

What bliss it is to have the ice trail all to yourself.

The early bird gets the good ice.

Many things to gripe about in Toronto, but the free outdoor city skating rinks isnt one of them. Thought we could use more ice trails.

If the worst single-family house in your n’hood costs over $1 million, then your n’hood should be zoned for apartment buildings.

(It’s pretty much that simple)

It’s funny that Israel recognizing Somaliland is probably the single greatest impediment to Somaliland being widely recognized in the region
Admittedly with only the most surface level "skimmed Wikipedia" level of knowledge about it, I don't see any good reason a country that has been, in fact, independent and self-governing for my entire life shouldn't be recognized and accepted as such diplomatically.

The old joke, which I can tell but still gets dirty looks.

Q: How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?

A: None.
I thought the whole thing was they COULDN‘T eat any potatoes

winning elections and exercising power
Man, if you don’t recognize the power of the message "even if we lose, the existence of this campaign still did some good in the world" then what do you even think politics is for?
It’s good Kamala Harris spent her money campaigning and not doing mutual aid! Generally we need candidates to try to win!

Opposite of Gift of the Magi: wife and I decide dishwasher is the big Christmas present, but we'll buy a couple small ones.

1. same cloth napkins (good sale!); &
2. comparable big cutting boards (she has taste & likes epicurean, I did commercial meat prep and like HDPE).

It's a good marriage

Anyway, my parenting advice, for the throngs of you longing for it, is simple:

1) Chanoch l'naar al pi darko - you need to know your kid exceptionally well to be a good parent. What works for others - siblings included! - may or may not work for her. Gotta individuate and let them find their paths
So, one of the examples here is of a good parent tailoring their parenting to a specific kid, in a non-dangerous way. Another example is just bad, abusive parenting.

Different kids are different. I promise you, there's no "one neat formula" to parenting that works for all kids in all circumstances

One of life's humbling little miracles is that when the second kid arrives, you think you've got a decent handle on parenting. Wouldn't call yourself an expert, but have learned enough to get by.

And then the second kid is just completely their own person, requiring you to adapt.

And of course they'll stop at Greenland right? Not at all the case that they think it's a Risk game and will get 5 armies a turn by completing North America.

The hour is late and we're not taking this seriously
Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland

Discworld made me a better person and those three quotes get to the core of it - a sort of outraged decency from a man angry at the state of the world and the cruelty therein who also knew what we were capable of at our best
This, the Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness, and the "treating people as things" passage are the basis of really good politics, I think
