@cdarwin@c.imIdaho pastor Douglas Wilson can be provocative.
He once wrote that “slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races.”
He’s said that “sodomy” is worse than “slavery”;
abortion, he’s written, is “as great an evil as slavery” due to what he sees as its ability to spark a civil war.
He told me last year that he regards the American state as the “biggest blasphemer” of them all.
But beneath the provocations is a vision of a remade

@cdarwin@c.imUkraine’s military said on Sunday it had attacked a Russian drone factory about 1099 kilometers from Ukraine
-- in the city of Yelabuga in Russia’s Tatarstan region.
The Ukrainian military general staff said the factory produced, tested, and launched drones at Ukraine,
in particular against energy and civil infrastructure.
Videos on social media showed an explosion said to be at the factory in Yelabuga, also known as Alabuga,

@crell@phpc.socialLeftists have to stop prioritizing comfort.
War is uncomfortable. War creates strange bedfellows.
The US is in a civil war, and has been for some time. The side that realizes that is going to win.

@nelson@tech.lgbtCalamus 26 We two boys together clinging
This is one of the gayest of the Calamus poems, a fantasy of two men against the world, full of life and ardor. I should be all over this in my gay reading!
Instead I see a darker form of Americanism here. "Power enjoying ... Armed and fearless ... No law less than ourselves". It's classic American individualism fantasy, a repudiation of community and law. Armed, at that.
On top of that I trip over the "North and South" part every time I read this. In 1860 when this was published we were just steps away from a Civil War after 10 years of enormous tension. I don't blame Whitman for wanting unity, his whole program in Leaves of Grass is American unity. All I can think is how there's no moral equivalence between the North and South. But Whitman wasn't an abolitionist and this poem reflects that.
Sorry for not reveling in the gay, maybe it's the ICE and California National Guard news affecting my reading today.

@simon_lucy@mastodon.socialProtect existing claimants, punish future ones.
That will guarantee a future Labour Govt.
I can't decide whether the most conservative Civil Service since before the Second World War is passively pushing back on the Labour Govt or whether the Govt is stupid all on its own.
