Did you know Hugh Jackman, famed song and dance man, Wolverine, and named by People the sexiest man alive in 2008, is married to a woman 13 years his senior? As Johnny Carson used to say, “I did not know that.” La Wik reports that they married in 1996. It appears that it was a first, and remains thus far a last, marriage for both. God bless ’em.
Isegoria has late breaking coverage of Hitler’s declaration of war on the US. They don’t teach that stuff in the schools no more… so it was news to me.
I never quite understood James Goulding—whence he came or whither he was going. I still don’t. But he has all our sincere (and unironic) best wishes in his endeavors, and a sincere hope that he will remain part of “the conversation” (whatever the hell that is).
Sharlach has slowed down a bit over the Beginning Of Summer Holiday, but he’s still quite good. He shows how the race-is-a-social-construct trick is actually performed in front of live audiences. It still gets ’em every time!
Apparently, if you repeat a mantra often enough, it finally gets noticed, i.e., by folks you actually care to have notice it. It’s my one (and only) trick, but I’ll be here all week.
Related (somehow… I guess??), Koanic (himself an unclassifiably unique game/DEC/HBD/Christianish blogger) managed to rope polymath behemoths Jim Donald and Vox Day into some sort of no holds barred cage match about natural selection or the deadness of Christianity… or both. It should make for some interesting sparring in the coming weeks.
Half Sigma is just an asshole:
I agree that [Zimmerman] shouldn’t have been following Trayvon in the first place. Instead of patrolling his prole community, he should have used his free time to increase his job skills so he could make more money so he could move to a more expensive and safer gated community.
Yep. That strategy should scale well.
Nydwracu spots the Cathedral in Carlyle. That’s probably where Moldbug got it. We do stand on the shoulders of giants.
Proph on Russell Shaw’s new book on the Americanization (Cathedralization) of the Catholic Church. A specially sore spot for me, since Jim and Spandrell are always spanking me with it.
That’s it for now… til next “week”… The Reactivity Place, Over and Out.

Jeff Mirus reviews Russell Shaw’s book at catholicculture.org:
http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/articles.cfm?id=574
“Nonetheless, we must still return to what the book does not do. I suspect every reader outside the United States will already have grasped this, because every reader outside the United States will by now be muttering, ‘But why is this an American story? The same thing happened here.'”
…
“Each historical circumstance is different but each is governed by Providence, and there are inescapably many things about Providence we cannot possibly understand. In the last analysis, we can see some causes but we cannot completely know why Catholics between, say, 700 and 1200 AD were able to create, despite all their faults, a demonstrably strong and vibrant Catholic culture (though by no means a perfect culture), whereas between, say, 1500 and 2000 AD, Catholics have only been able, despite many heroic efforts, to preside over the loss of such a culture.”

Indeed the same thing happened all over the world because of the United States and its rise to global hegemony since WWII. If the rest of the world doesn’t like it, they’re perfectly free to stop speaking English. In fact, I’d encourage them to. It doesn’t, on net, do Americans much good.
