Fix Tha’ Police: 3 Small Tweaks And 2 Big Ones

arkady2022-04-06Law

The core problem with policing in the United States is that the police have developed their own internal culture and a very strong bunker mentality. They really do view the rest of us as an unruly mob that could become…

Just Too Much: We’re Gonna Have to Invade Russia

arkady2022-04-04Politics

Putin’s ambition of re-conquering all the domains of the Imperial and Soviet Russias appears to have run up against a truly immovable resistance. That’s good; his project is abominable. But even before the recent pictures from Bucha made soft-pedaling the…

Defend Ukraine: But That’s Not Defending Freedom

arkady2022-03-31Politics

Endemic: Just Another Word For “Giving Up”

arkady2022-02-17Culture

Newsom’s grabbing for the brass ring before the ride stops. Again. Today’s infuriating headline is “California to unveil shift to ‘endemic’ approach to coronavirus“. Endemic. So, for those of you who haven’t been paying attention, “endemic” means accepting the disease…

Don’t Stop Now: Riding the Pandemic Tiger

arkady2022-02-14Culture

It’s appropriate that we just entered The Year of The Tiger, since apparently a whole lot of folks need reminding about what “riding a tiger” means. ‘He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount’. And he damn well should be. One thing about…
