Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

I see
and I hear
and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

@bennet.senate.gov As a proud resident and voter of Colorado, I urge you to vote no on the republican spending bill. Legalizing and finding the vast damage Elon has been illegally doing to the federal government would devastated Colorado and the entire country.

A cool historical fact I learned today is that globally, but especially in the Western Christian tradition, regicide is historically pretty common - between the years 600 and 1980, approximately ~14% of Western monarchs was killed, or deposed and then executed, by their subjects.

I don't see a way to report the name on Maps using my phone, so instead I left a review: "Calling it the Gulf of America is the worst thing that's happened to it since the Chicxulub asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs".
I always check with stuff like this, and yup. It's listed this way on Maps.
F-ing Google.

I remember, as a teenager, the hand wringing over the passing of the generation with living memory of the Second World War, and how much would be lost or at risk once those stories became no more than words on a page. I remember, naively, being confused about where that fear came from.
