Lord was a Scottish Fold cat with a meditative personality. In the last days of his life, I spent time with him outside as I rebuilt the patio. He would have loved to see the new garden, as he was a "bush cat" (distinct from "tree cats") who enjoyed many hours in the shade.

$THE TEMPEST: William Shakespeares Most Enigmatic Play The Tempest is both William Shakespeares shortest play, as well as the most intriguing. Even if we put aside some of its flaws, it is quite different from Shakespeares other works, with Prospero arguably his richest and most human creation. In this video, authors and critics Alex Sheremet and Keith Jackewicz discuss the context of Shakespeares time and some of the plays philosophical thrusts.

$Why Conservatives Are So TERRIFIED | Right-Wing Psychology Explained The murder of a black homeless man, Jordan Neely, by ex-Marine vigilante Daniel Penny has brought out conservative fears again, and this time, even the notion of community is under fire. In this video, Alex Sheremet explores the contradictions between right-wing psychology and right-wing entitlement. This little-discussed fracture is visible in the works of Richard Hanania, Ben Shapiro, Thomas Sowell, and many more going back centuries, yet it is only in the past few decades that classic right-wing psychology has become distorted and regressive.
