[W]hat I admire in Shackleton, at that moment on the Barrier, is that he turned back. He gave up; he admitted defeat; and he saved his men. Unfortunately he also saved his pride by posturing a bit, playing hero. He couldn't admit that his weakness was his strength; he did the right thing, but said the wrong one. So I go on loving Shackleton, but with the slightest shade of contempt for his having boasted. But Scott, who did nearly everything wrong, why have I no such contempt for Scott? Why does he remain worthy in my mind of that awful beauty and freedom, my Antarctica? Evidently because he admitted his failure completely—living it through to its end, death. It is as if Scott realized that his life was a story he had to tell, and he had to get the ending right.

That level of corruption wouldn't even make the top 1000 in a list of Trump's crimes.

Head Start was based off the results of the Perry Preschool Study, the positive effects of which continue to this day, and which demonstrated that access to high quality preschool experiences can be extraordinarily effective in helping kids overcome the effects of racism and poverty. It absolutely did not say that shitty daycare gets you fucking anything and, having spent most of my adult life around the people who led this study, I can tell you, in at least in the opinion of the study’s researchers, it’s an argument that you literally have to spend the money for high quality preschool or you’re just fucking over little kids. Let’s fuck up life for some fucking toddlers! Fucking Moloch Regime continues!
