Best half of soccer I've ever seen from a USA team

The U.S. government just unveiled the majestic Greco-Deco design for the new federal courthouse in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The building is at once monumental and welcoming, classical and original. The iris capitals are an inspired touch, drawing on Tennessee’s natural beauty and weaving it into the stone of a federal building. The Chattanooga courthouse is precisely the kind of building that President Trump’s Executive Order on federal architecture—“Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again”—was designed to produce. When the courthouse is completed, it will stand as the living proof that the Order represents wise and humane public policy—something all Americans, regardless of political party, can and should support. Beautiful public buildings are not a partisan matter; they belong to everyone.

We’d be a lot better off if our rich actually cared about how they present in public. The aristocracy is meant to be a model for everyone else. Them not caring about appearances or public spaces means they don’t care about you.

I hope everyone can agree we need more statues of our founding fathers. A nation that doesn’t celebrate its history won’t make any history worth celebrating.

It’s hard for me to read C.S. Lewis and actually find something he was wrong about

Growing up in the South, I remember I’d read a book or watch TV and people would refer to “a forest” whereas we’d just call it “the woods.” “A forest” refers to a singular, contained thing. “The woods” was everywhere, all encompassing. There is no definitive boundary to “the woods.”

In 1942, C.S. Lewis predicted a future dystopia where: -Education is leveled to a mediocre state to avoid hurt feelings -The middle class is hollowed out, removing the primary champions of private excellence -"Avoiding trauma" becomes the excuse to stop pushing students to their full potential The obsession with perfect equality ends up destroying human greatness — and it’s fueled by state education, where schools become more like nurseries than academic institutions. Seems like Lewis’s dystopia is already here.

I’ve been thinking about reading a biography on C. S. Lewis.
