America must stand for freedom again one day.
Today was a terrible day for America, but there are countless Americans who still carry the highest ideals of the better angels of our founders.

Cremaine Booker plays "On the Nature of Daylight", which happens to be the theme song from my favorite modern speculative fiction movie: "Arrival".
This is (literally) too beautiful for words.

A reminder from MLK on this day that both celebrates him, and ushers in a new age of fascism:
“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.”

This is the Doll’s Song from Offenbach’s “Tales of Hoffman”. I consider the opera insufferable except for this one exquisite aria.
For decades I’ve thought of Natalie Dessay’s rendition as unmatched and unmatchable, but this performance by Patricia Janeckova comes pretty close!
