Today's ride to work on the borrowed ebike. Took a route I really don't like due to flooding of the Menomonee River, but it was okay. Made it under 24 minutes. (My car commute is typically 15 minutes, so that's pretty good!)
Brought a spare shirt to work since I have to wear a backpack to carry things. Also, 6.66 miles? Epic.

in order to receive their benefits,
billionaires should collect trash along the highway or clean public toilets."

War is an unconscionable horror. The illusions of "international law" and "rules of war" have lead us to believe that war can be clean, managed, and "civilized."
But wars are fought by humans and humans are messy. Humans are not well suited to following orderly rules. Humans respond to their environment. Humans in extraordinary situations can be extraordinarily vindictive and brutal. Sufficiently traumatized humans can act without a conscience, spreading trauma like an infection. If humans respond to their situation, then there can be no "civilized" war because war is itself an situation outside of the society. It is a place that promotes antisocial behavior and punishes pro-social behavior. War cannot be expected to follow "international law" because it is what fills the void created by the failure of "international law" (so long as we rely on nations).
To call for war is to inflict atrocities on civilians. It is to kill the parents and children who serve, and to destroy the combatants who survive. It is to infect both sides with a trauma that will spread if untreated, when soldiers come home or when they become mercenaries in other wars.
And yet... there are times when the brutality, the incompetence, the evil becomes so unbearable that no other option exists, when taking up arms is simply bringing symmetry to an existing asymmetric conflict. There are times when the worst possible thing is inescapable, though it can never be justified.
In this new era of war, in the scramble of conflict under the collapsing of the (poorly named) "Pax Americana," I hope that we, the people, can understand that war is not a tool to fulfill an objective. It is not part of a larger strategy. It is not an extension of deplomacy.
War is a failure.
While it may be the only way to deal with the irrational - the genocidal, the slaver, the dictator - it is still a failure. It is a failure to build a world in which these people can't control armies and economies, can't turn populations in to cults and bend nations to their will.
And we will continue to have such wars until we unite against those who would use as as pawns, who would control our lives and lead us to our deaths. We will have these wars until we unite, as one world, against those rulers. This is what I mean, and what a lot of other people mean, when we say, "No War, but Class War."

Micah Parsons not fazed by not having deal done: 'I just work harder'
With the Cowboys heading to training camp next week, All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons isn't fazed by not having a contract extension done like he had hoped, and is instead motivated to work harder to prove himself.

Academic Libraries Need a New Value Proposition
The elimination of the library faculty at Western Illinois University shocked the library world. But if libraries at other small- and medium-sized institutions want to avoid a similar fate, it will require a radical departure from business as usual.
