Was I expecting a Goop take when I became a paying subscriber? No.

Did a Goop take just guarantee I'll be a paying subscriber to The Pillar for the rest of my life? Absolutely.

The goop take is indeed entertaining. But I also appreciate Ed.'s takes on baseball, especially when he's angry about something. Erudite invective that's not crude or profane is hard to come across.

I have questions about the Franciscan article.

Is there data on how the cases at the university have affected the local death rate?

How are cases being defined?

Was anyone who will not wear a mask interviewed for the article?

If JD is correct that "Temporal governance devolves in any number of directions away from justice" (and I believe he is) then a time of crisis in which governments are taking extra powers seems to be a good time to ask questions about the justice of governance.
