Armistice Day
Kurt Vonnegut discussing the renaming of Armstice Day to Veterans' Day in Breakfast of Champions. I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans’ Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans’ Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armstice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for example. And all music is.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

I want to once again reiterate what I said earlier. The reason the vast majority of Democratic and so-called centrist elites have acquiesced over and over again is that they are COMPLICIT. Because they actually know that direct confrontation is how you defeat fascists and choose not to do it.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.” “Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read
Nothing lasts forever, and that includes the Roman Empire. The Fall of Rome-Scented Candle smells like cypress trees and red wine. Light it and watch the Roman forum melt into a puddle of wax while you quietly contemplate the impermanence of civilizations and/or candles. Do you think individual Romans understood that their civilization was collapsing? Or did it happen so gradually that they were able to ignore the warning signs—international trade breaking down, the senate becoming a rubber stamp for the supreme leader, and political violence becoming expected during transfers of power? It’s hard to say, because it’s impossible to imagine being in that kind of situation. In any event—hope you enjoy the candle!

didn’t initially realize this isn’t the tv show! it’s just a straight reread of her books as a cash grab. it’s basically a tribute album to raise money for charity; the charity is “for the good of society, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

fuck every one of these people.

I came with this at 3 am while feverish.

I will not be answering any questions.
A chart with four quadrants: Alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The X axis is "Let's talk it out" to "Fuck it, we ball." The Y axis is Nerd to Jock. Along this grid I have arranged various Star Trek captains using advanced scientific analytic techniques.
