OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
SO FLOODING THE STREETS HAS TWO PURPOSES. It shows the government that people are mad. And it’s an implicit threat that all those mad people will do something about it if the government doesn’t change.
Leftist governments in Europe don’t care if people are mad, and they’re not afraid that the people will do anything. Some lamppost hangings may be required if the people are to get the message across.
Beginning to think Europe might still have a chance.
Might mean lampposts for traitors. But they’ve been pushed far enough even Euros might have that in them.
(Starting to look like rape of one’s daughters is a globalist bridge too far even for Euros. Who knew?) https://t.co/yR3zhiKhPM

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL:
There were no TikToks from moms empathizing with Iryna Zarutska. No tribute videos saying, "This could have been me." Empathy is not what's going on. Forces are much darker and anti-child. Moloch has returned. https://t.co/nEpzLH28Yt

UPDATE (from Steve): My wife bought the original, more wagon-like Pacifica right before we had our first kid. She loved it, and still calls it “the ultimate mom-mobile.”

YEAH, ARCHITECTS SHOULD BE GLAD THEIR GUY LOST ON THIS. As this hilarious thread notes, they would have opened up a real can of worms establishing a precedent that you could sue if ugly buildings were inflicted on you.
If “aesthetic injury” is grounds to stop the White House ballroom, why did these people never demand we tear down the hideous Department of Health building? pic.twitter.com/CzenPosujb

Earlier: From Bauhaus to Tom’s House: James Lileks on architect Louis Kahn.

“While browsing through an Architectural Record from 1977, there was a gushing review of the incredibly brilliant Yale Center for British Art by the incredibly brilliant Louis Kahn…Ah yes. That one. The building that gave us one of the best examples of life before and after the Second World War. Hint: Kahn’s building is on the left. You know how many years separate those two structures? Nineteen. The building on the right was completed in 1928. The building on the left was begun in 1947.”
THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T OFFER A SOLUTION BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T SEE A PROBLEM. THIS IS THEIR GOAL.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Texas pushes three-year bachelor’s degrees to cut college costs.
THE NARRATIVE MUST BE SERVED: Politicians need to stop holding press conferences every time someone dies of measles. (But they probably won’t.)
COLOR ME UNSURPRISED:

HIGHER EDUCATION’S FUNDING IS DELIBERATELY OBSCURE. END THAT.
Who controls the funding influences the education of our next generation. There is no good argument against transparency in the funding of higher education. https://t.co/yEpiyqAN8N

TO A LEFTIST, THESE THINGS ARE CONNECTED BECAUSE THEY DISLIKE BOTH OF THEM:
On CNN NewsNight, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill argues that capitalism is oppressive and bound up in white supremacy.
Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with… pic.twitter.com/PLWRCuxt7v
