I see they caught that sea monster in the river in downtown London ...

Yes ...

It was the beast of Thames, it was the wurst of Thames ...

(I'll see myself out ...)

This sign hangs in the Holocaust Museum:

In 1930s Germany, do you know what they called those who voted for and supported a fascist dictator, who did so for economic and policy reasons they believed would be best for the country?

They call them Nazis.

Stay vigilant and alert.

Posting here is reminding me how FB and Twitter were before monetization and partisan agendas ruined them. Please BlueSky, don't go down the same path.

Glad to be here. Left Twitler long ago. FB is getting old too. I hope this avoids the paths of both of them.
