It seems silly to quote a fantasy book but there’s a Terry Pratchett quote where they have captured the main villain and are about to kill him, “it doesn’t matter what he is. It matters what we are.” It’s stuck with me whenever the death penalty comes up.

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.

Moo Deng has obviously been on my mind a lot. I like to think that in his sorrowful repentance, an animal gave him a little encouraging nibble. Like how my cat thinks biting my nose while I cry is offering emotional support.
