This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

“Sweetest Child”

By Americo Alvarenga

I found the sweetest child today, whose death did not take.
I wrenched and pulled their gnarled anima but found it did not break.
I querried the queer, darkened dear of why it lingered so?

So, imagine being so racist that you decided to take part in a Nazi party march. Kudos, you’re human trash. But imagine being so astronomically stupid about your understanding of what you claim to be fighting for (white power, you’re marching for white power)

Let me linger in this last human night.
Alas, my loves, here comes the ‘morrow’s dawn.
Let it not be said that we had no fight.
Though the Reaper’s grim score will prove us wrong.

Alas, my loves, here comes the ‘morrow’s dawn.
Dear friends and foe’d ones have fallen silent.

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker.

Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path.

Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.

Jack Kirby story from 1959 ("I Fought the Colossus," Strange Tales # 72) predicts AI would be developed by 2020 and that one major fear would be that it would start giving the wrong answers to questions and "wreck civilization." Gotta love the 1950s giant mainframes.

There’s very little that I boast about or gets me to trash talk. But the fact that I can still pick up a Street Fighter game and straight trounce some random kid that thinks because they learned some long string combo they can beat someone who has been practicing the fundamentals since day one?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
