This is Gus. We adopted him about two months ago. He's pretty cute.

I was down to just a Wirecutter subscription, but I guess it's time to cancel that too...

Yep, no symbolism here. Just a story about a man with sunglasses fighting aliens 👀

I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately
We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a while. For you must not forget that we can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute. Buenaventura Durruti Van Paassen interview (1936)

If only there was a popular phrase about normal looking people and institutions doing terrible things...
The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.
