Some worthwhile reads:
Lynn on enjoying the eclipse, and also enjoying things that we see every day. Which makes me think of this: click it! (TY Dustbury.)
Ann Althouse on the outrageous Trump.
Terry Teachout names his favorite big band tracks. Well, there are no tracks by Maynard Ferguson, Don Ellis, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Buddy Rich, or Thad Jones-Mel Lewis, but it's still a nice grouping.
Edward Feser and Joe Bessette present the Catholic case for capital punishment. It's impossible to argue, from a Catholic perspective, that CP is intrinsically wrong, like abortion or euthanasia.
Megan McArdle-"As a woman in tech, I realized these are not my people". Reflections on the Google memo.
Cartoons can be useful.
"God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another"-Hamlet. The Bard might wonder at some current lunacies, like presto-chango sexes.
Father Mitch Pacwa, no longer SJ, is tossed out of the Jesuits after being caught with a Catechism.
538 has the Dodgers getting to 114 wins, two shy of the record.
