He doesn’t read. The question we should be asking ourselves is who is telling him to say it, and what is their true agenda?

I think I’m going to cancel my Cybertruck order. Seems like quality is going to be a big issue, too.

If I dust off the old Art History learnings, the Madonna would have been painted in a way that appeared other-worldly so as to separate her from what any mere mortal would identify as human. Said differently, Mary’s boobs have to be painted in a way that don’t look like human boobs so humans 1) don’t get lusty in church and 2) retain their awe of the story and its characters and thus maintain the Christian power structure.

Same. I remember friends who owned a small restaurant early in the Yelp days who were constantly harassed and extorted. They survived but the threat to their business was palpable.
