Althouse Street and corner of Arab Spring

"A Google Street view screen grab, mailed to me by a reader."

Says Althouse at a new post this afternoon.

I didn't think Althouse would subscribe to the idea that the best way to move forward was to go backwards first.

Shelter in Place until we figure out what we are dealing with!

Creepy Althouse lockdown.

Why Blog Crashes Have Become More Mundane

"Why Catastrophic Airline Crashes Have Become More Survivable."

"Over the many decades of commercial air travel, the airlines have learned more and more about why airplanes crash and how passengers survive."

 

"Ah! What we could do if we faced a sudden stark threat, as our ancestors did in evolutionary times! We inherited the capacities they needed then, but we've got so little use for them these days. We go to action movies and ride roller coasters or paraglide to activate the antiquated bodily systems. It's not that we're nostalgic for danger, but built into our depths, there's a need for something that — we in no conscious sense — desire."

 

Says Althouse at a new post this morning.

Sports are a problem... the breed the Aaron Hernandez... women and kids looking up to these monsters.

 

Ban something already!... What, over the top?

 

I'm exaggerating I'm sure but ... oh well, this is just for me and my Neanderthal.
