Halfway through Shadowlands by Matthew Green

They lived and they died
They prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found

As a toddler parent, there are three kinds of sippy cups:

-ones that don't leak all over the place
-ones that your kid likes drinking out of
-ones that are easy to clean

You can only choose two

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Luxon has a plan. It looks like this. 6 plates for him, 1 plate between 5 at the other end of the divide he’s widened. I don’t misunderstand him. I see him. #nzpol #hoarder interactives.stuff.co.nz/the-side-eye...

I want just one interviewer to give these men the treatment they gave Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, or Amy Winehouse when they were clearly at rock bottom.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
