Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com

Speech by Utah Governor Spencer Cox re assassination of Charlie Kirk. (I know Carob has spoken negatively about him. I know if him from his involvement in Braver Angels. I think his message here is important.) https://x.com/BridgetPhetasy/status/1966530809310876129
Tweet from Israeli Haviv Rettig Gur tied to Charlie Kirk and America
I've been in America for the past week, and I'll be here for a few days more. It's been a week of pain and rage and confusion. Charlie Kirk's murder surfaced a great many of America's latent anxieties and fissures. On the left, I witnessed a startled discovery of the scale of their own self-validating lies, in this case about both Charlie and his murder. Stephen King apologized for repeating the claim Charlie had called for the stoning of gays, a claim pushed as fact in left-wing discourse. Elsewhere in American discourse, raging antisemites garnered millions of likes and tens of millions of views by claiming Israel had killed Charlie - and a CNN anchor was stupid enough to ask on air if it was true.
Lies, rage and a sense of things falling apart, an America that feels itself dissolving, and with nowhere to turn to for wisdom and respite.
I can offer neither, though my heart breaks for America's current state. But there is wisdom to be found elsewhere, sages and books ...
