Armistice Day
Veterans Day
Remembrance Day

The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.

In Flanders Fields written by
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Per Britannica (too many characters, so had to do screenshot photo) 🤷‍♀️
During WW2 the Japanese military would often require POWs to sign pledges promising not to escape (illegal under international law). Many refused and were denied essentials such as drinking water. The prisoners eventually relented, but many signed with false names, including “Ned Kelly,” an infamous Australian outlaw.

Attachment to being right creates suffering. When you have a choice to be right, or to be kind, choose kind and watch your suffering disappear.
~ Wayne Dyer

Everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it, because it won't last forever. Conversely, if things are going bad, don't worry, it won't last forever either.

Heads up to beware. Posting a screenshot of a direct message I received (despite stating clearly on my profile No dms). I am not sharing the name of the person.
I did some research as it sure seemed fishy to me. In the meantime, the person blocked me. 🤷‍♀️
Whatever. I returned the block favor. ✌🏼

Commentary: Stephen Flynn, the Scottish Scottish National Party MP for Aberdeen South, said he couldn't meet with Trump today because he was busy washing his hair. Ya'll, this is Stephen Flynn. Photo of Stephen Flynn shows him to be bald. Comment immediately following says "This is actually true, saw him on TV saying that he'd be too busy washing, cutting his hair, so couldn't meet up with trump. The news panel almost wet themselves laughing."

As the saying goes, "You can't make this stuff up."
Photo of Pam Bondi in front of the Department of Justice logo, framed by 2 women (who are likely to be as dumb), caption by Fox "news": Bondi: "It’s illegal to call yourself 'the boss' if you're not in charge of the entire country." The comment above the photo states: "The White House is officially a 24-hour SNL skit. And yes, she's talking about Bruce Springsteen."

I just finished watching this film, and not for the first time.
Powerful and stirring example of standing up against tyranny.
Charles Laughton reading the list from Thomas Paine's Rights of Man gets me every single time.

I recorded and watched this film over the weekend. Loved it! Very typical of a Chaplin film with a political message.
If you aren't aware of what happened to Chaplin, look it up. He refused to allow it to be shown in the USA until the mid 70's, with good reason.
If you get a chance, watch it.

Colorful, rainbow-like swirl. Text reads, If you think you love "freedom" but you don't care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is "privilege."
