if you've got $200 to set on fire and you spend it paying some dude to take a box grater to a wad of black truffles you should be exiled on general principle — PolitiTweet.org

$200 instagram opp. nobody's eating this dogshit for any reason remotely related to gastronomy. it's like those milkshakes that are just covered in garbage and the whole shop's lit up like a film set — PolitiTweet.org

i gave a lecture at yale during the pandemic on liberalism and the family and a chinese student said, in short, "retired grandparents looking after grandchildren is a big part of what allows women to work in china, but the USA doesn't really seem to care about the elderly, why?" — PolitiTweet.org

@porn_horse or are they more man than us? there is much here, to consider — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

this latter view of guns fits into a larger worldview that's just generally skeptical — it has its carve-outs for kinship tradition and private order, but resists zealotry in most forms out of suspicion of being sold a bill of goods. anyhoo — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

then there's this older gun culture that views guns as somewhat ambiguous tools in an unsettled contest between man and nature (other people, homo homini lupus, included.) used well, they can help you; but they can deceive you, be turned against you, etc, just like anything else — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

there's a kind of gun culture that views guns as like the pinnacle of human dominion, a symbol of power that is also power itself — if i just have enough guns, the right guns, enough ammo, the right ammo, then i can defend myself from anyone, anything, even the government, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i've tried to sketch this out here before, and maybe it deserves a longer treatment at some point, but i do think there's an older gun culture (to which my parents belong) that doesn't at all take these kinds of requests as acts of aggression or emasculation — PolitiTweet.org

i humbly ask that they put the loaded guns in a safe when my five-year-old and two-year-old are going to be in the house, yeah. if it's just me, i don't pat them down or anything, though i'd take it sort of personally if they brandished on me — PolitiTweet.org
