I've got thoughts on the whole "civility" discussion happening now and I share them with you. Because that's what I do here.

I also go on a brief tangent about outrage culture and why it can't last and how we might be seeing the beginning of the end of it.

I have more thoughts on immigration that I didn't completely get out last week so here you go. I cover the events that have happened since last week, zero tolerance, whataboutism and the Mariel boatlift.

More on the Mariel boatlift if you're interested - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariel_boatlift

Fair warning - I have Thoughts on immigration.

Here are my thoughts on the current zero tolerance immigration jackassery and my thoughts on immigration in general.

My expanded thoughts on audience capture / feeding the beast / outrage culture vis a vis the NFL national anthem rule, the Trump immigration "scandal", the Roseanne tweet, Kim K goes to DC and Samantha Bee's really dumb Ivanka take.

Yep this is exactly what it sounds like. My thoughts on Jordan Peterson. I give my thoughts on '12 Rules For life', Peterson as a public persona and the infamous NYT profile / Peterson's rebuttal.
