Stuff like this has a real ‘whistling past the graveyard’ quality to it.

I’m sure it’s catnip to his base, but man, does it ever have the possibility of coming back to haunt him if she keeps building momentum at this rate.

News like this makes me wonder if David Bowie finally reincarnated somewhere on Earth. Everything went to shit in 2016 after he left for his home planet.

While I wouldn’t say that’s right, I also wouldn’t come right out and call it wrong either. This very much engages with the “Selfish Gene”, an heuristic model of thinking about evolution from the perspective of the gene itself instead of populations.

As an added amusement, the book “The Selfish Gene” came out in 1976, and is the source of the word “meme,” used somewhat differently than it is now, naturally.

You can predict the outcome of this court’s decisions with two questions:
A: Will it cause chaos?

B: Is it cruel?
