I’m sorry I can’t help myself.
An excerpt from Albert Camus’s play Caligula. CALIGULA: Tell me, my young friend. What exactly is a tyrant? SCIPIO: A blind soul. CALIGULA: That's a moot point. I should say the real tyrant is a man who sacrifices a whole nation to his ideal or his ambition. But I have no ideal, and there's nothing left for me to covet by way of power or glory. If I use this power of mine, it's to compensate.

The news feels like too much so the timeline can have a little blue crab as a treat!

This guy’s been fitted with an acoustic tracker to see if and where he hunkers down in the salt marsh to ride out a New England winter.

Happy Armistice Day.
So this book is a sidewalk strewn with junk, trash which I throw over my shoulders as I travel in time back to November eleventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-two. 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. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for in-stance. And all music is.

It’s truly pathetic how much my mood is impacted by the ambient temperature. Winter is a kind of hell.

Happy Birthday, Albert Camus! Born on this day, November 7, 1913
Whoever gives nothing has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.

I’m not gonna link to this garbage and give it traffic but for the love of god NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO ACCESS OTHER PEOPLES BODIES.
On dating apps like tinder, the top 10-% of men (in attractiveness) receive 80-90% of all swipe-rights. The dating imbalance contributes to increased susceptibility to misogynistic or extremist content online.

Fuck it. I’m in a mood. Let’s do another Saturday with Camus.
AUGUST I937 Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people's anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble— yes, gamble-with a whole part of their life and their so-called "vital interests."
