Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

I am very normal and well-adjusted, and therefore can be trusted to have a cool, collected, and impassive conversation with you about the 1982 made-for-TV adaptation of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

This is fantastic! I didn't know Escher did realistic (despite the poltergeist!) art!
"Poltergeist”, Woodcut 1920s-1930s
M.C. Escher
A black and white woodcut. A middle-age kitchen at night, with checkerboard tiles, a large wooden paneled door and wooden table. Beside a tall cooking hearth, ablaze with an evening fire, sits a witch her feet on a stool, her broom leaning against the table. She looks up to the wooden rafters a hand of surprise reaching toward the creepy face staring back at her from the shadows.

America should deport all foreigners working in slaughterhouses and give their jobs to children. This takes advantage of a child's natural urge to torture and kill animals.

Both Donald Trump and Elon Musk still love Vladimir Putin. And this is America’s great hope.

Whether it’s Putin promising Trump not to bomb Ukrainian energy infrastructure, or Putin immediately thereafter bombing Ukrainian infrastructure, both leaders will sleep in warm beds tonight while many Ukrainians won’t.

I feel like you can support Trump’s wicked immigration policy, OR celebrate St Paddy’s day, but you can’t do both.

Without tea, all is darkness and chaos.

A large gravestone in an English country village cemetery (with snow covered hills in the distance) reads RAN OUT OF TEA.

Opinion | Elite universities should lose their federal funding if they don't stop admitting mediocre students with extremist political views.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance.

"Where is the King of America?'

Thomas Paine had an answer in 1776 in "Common Sense."
And it IS common sense.

In America, the LAW is King.

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937
