All typos are due to the demon Titivillus, who has possessed my autocorrect.

One of my favorite things is the yearly Italian tradition of physicians being interviewed in the media reassuring people that it's ok to have gelato for lunch occasionally.

It does, however, sound an awful lot like the Catholic League in about 2003 stammering "it's not pedophilia because the altar boys were teenagers."

Well I just figured out that I blocked him via a list and in fairness to him (now that I can read his posts) he's being pretty clear about not putting up with people minimizing this stuff.

Well it turns out I accidentally blocked him via a list (a list that got sketchy enough that blue sky has hidden it, and I unsubscribed from it) so it was my fault.

Ms. McArdle is also Catholic, so we've got both genders of conservative Catholics doing the old Vatican two-step (in fairness the current papacy seems to be taking this much more seriously than previous administrations)

He blocked me for reasons I don't understand (I have only interacted with him a handful of times) and I remain somewhat curious as to why, in a vague sort of way. I used to think his takes were pretty intelligent but 🤷. The past two years have been hard on anyone who believes in the rule of law.
