This is good to see. People have been complacent with pushing back on the ridiculous labels, sometimes even owning them as badges of honor. But we need to go back to standing up to the ridicule.
"If you can't intimidate people into silence and compliance with the woke orthodoxies by threatening their job or their social circle, you might be able to threaten them with actual violence. That's what the "nazi" accusation is there to convey."

You have a house from the 60s. Original electric circuitry: glass fuses and all. Never had a problem, no fuses ever blown. Do you replace it?

A prequel is not the first in the series. Rather, a prequel assumes that you've read the others already. If there was a prequel about Harry Potter's parents, Hogwarts, Voldemort, how Harry got his scar, would you read it first? Of course not. So too with Magician's Nephew.

Trinity Bridge in Crowland, England. ⛪️ Built in the 1300s and still standing. No mortar. No steel. No concrete. And yet… here it is, over 650 years later. Just Barnack limestone. Just brilliance.

I am right at this point with my oldest. Catechism, during the age of memorization. 10/11 is moving in to the next phase – pure memory and info isn't enough. A few seem to be sticking in his mind: The Kitchen Knight The Hobbit LotR (reading to them) Swiss Family Robinson
