At a debate at Princeton. Of course, the Princeton daily shitpaper called both men “racists,” because competition to work in the dying media is fierce and Princeton students are smart enough to know what appeals to potential employers.
Hazony makes the point that the public has rebelled against Bret Stephens’ philosophy. Stephens would call his world-view “anti-nationalist.” Hazony would call it “imperialist,” because the point of his book seems to be that the opposite of nationalism is imperialism. There is no such thing as a sprawling transnational democracy; it will simply become a corrupt empire where all real power is held by an ostensible elite ensconced in the capital city.

As if Italy’s wild boar population wasn’t enough of a problem for farmers while it’s sober, some of the brutes have rooted out and destroyed a €20,000 stash of cocaine hidden in woodland of eastern Tuscany.
At least this was the claim made by four suspected drug traffickers who’d been wiretapped by cops, The Local reports.
We see your drug-sniffing dogs, and raise you a couple of snouts.

Ever wonder where wiping rags come from?
Few consumers, anywhere, have heard of the wiping-rag industry. But it bails out everyone. Approximately 30% of the textiles recovered for recycling in the U.S. are converted to wiping rags, according to Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles (Smart), a trade association. And that’s probably an undercount. The 45% of recycled textiles that are reused as apparel eventually wear out, too. When they do, they’re also bound for the wiping-rag companies.

ZMan digs down.
It has become a meme to mock the Baby Boomers for their obsession with stuff, but it is a society-wide phenomenon. Modern America functions like a ghetto riot, in which the culture is a liquor store. Everyone is just smashing and grabbing what they can, not because they need it or want it, but because that’s what they do. This is particularly true with conservatives. All of their arguments, particularly those that fall into the cultural and spiritual, have been reduced to economic appeals.

I’ll always remember the day a Paris cheesemonger told me there is actually a right way to cut up each type of cheese. I looked at him, incredulous. “It’s about making sure everyone has the same experience,” he explained as he cut a wheel of cheese into wedges.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that.
Up until that point, I’d been perfectly happy with the uneven slices and misshapen hunks of cheese I normally cut when I make a cheese board. However, right then and there I realized I had been committing a number of sins against cheese.
I’m not sure but I think this qualifies as a First World Problem.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 38% of Likely Democratic Voters believe American society is generally fair and decent. Fifty-one percent (51%) say it’s unfair and discriminatory.
By comparison, 74% of Republicans and unaffiliated voters by a 49% to 36% margin view American society as fair and decent.

ZMan lays it out.
Something that has been noticeable for a long time now is that the Left is in a perpetual state of rage. The smallest things send them into spasms of anger. They hate Trump and they really hate his voters. They will go rummaging around in the social media history of people, looking for reasons to hate them. It’s not a general all-encompassing hate, like hating the fans of a rival sports team, but a very personal and cruel hate. They want the victim to suffer and they want to enjoy his suffering.

One of the striking aspects of recent years is how exceptions to stereotypes — e.g., Melbourne doesn’t have a black crime problem — are less and less true. More and more, stereotypes apply everywhere. For example, you might think that Helsinki, Finland would not have any Jussie Smollett-style racial hate hoaxes. But that’s so outdated. Of course Helsinki has hate hoaxes….

Chesa Boudin, whose parents were convicted and jailed for their part in the murder of three people when he was a toddler, won the bid for Sans Francisco’s attorney general Saturday after campaigning on his past.
Boudin’s parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were arrested after dropping their then-14-month-old son off at a babysitter’s and taking part in an armored car robbery in 1981. Two police officers and a security guard were left dead, and Boudin’s parents, members of the terrorist group Weather Underground, were arrested for their role as getaway drivers.
Under the Felony Murder Rule, they could have been executed. They got off easy, as often happens.
The now 39-year-old used his past to capture votes in San Francisco, according to NBC News. In his campaign video, he explained to voters how he had to visit jail and go through steel gates just to hug his parents. Boudin campaigned on a total reform of the criminal justice system, using his history to explain why mass incarceration is destructive.
“Mass incarceration” is what proglodytes are re-labeling “imprisoning criminals”. Had my parents been jailed terrorist murderers, I would have had no inclination to hug them. I guess immorality is more hereditary than we thought. And California descends further into the Turd World….

Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg have figured out how to harness the energy and keep it in reserve so it can be released on demand in the form of heat—even decades after it was captured. The innovations include an energy-trapping molecule, a storage system that promises to outperform traditional batteries, at least when it comes to heating, and an energy-storing laminate coating that can be applied to windows and textiles. The breakthroughs, from a team led by researcher Kasper Moth-Poulsen, have garnered praise within the scientific community. Now comes the real test: whether Moth-Poulsen can get investors to back his technology and take it to market.
