Silence is complicity.


I am only one
by Edward Everett Hale

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
On this day in 1926 U.S. Route 66 is established from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, spanning 2,448 miles (3,940 km).
Bobby Troupe was inspired to write the namesake song in 1946, covered by dozens of artists (I like the Depeche Mode version).

On this day in 2012 The final US presidential election results are declared after Barack Obama wins Florida to defeat Mitt Romney 332-206 in Electoral College votes.

The joy and hope of the period seems like a distant memory now.

I feel like he really made the show what it was. I haven’t seen White Lotus, but he sure shot to popularity after that. Very talented actor. The goggles I don’t care for, though.

On this day in 1895 German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen produces and detects electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range today known as X-rays or Röntgen rays.

Kind of a big deal.

These people were accused of not dissimilar crimes. One the Trump regime wants to send to Fuck-all El Salvador. The other, who was convicted, they sent to the Club Med of the federal prison system.
One is brown. The other needs to be kept silent.
Have I got this about right?

1876 President Rutherford B. Hayes and challenger Samuel J. Tilden claim presidential victory as Tilden (D) wins popular vote but Electoral College votes are disputed with Hayes (R).

It’s way past time to dispense with the Electoral College.

Today is National Men Make Dinner Day.
It’s also National Nacho Day.
Seems like a perfect pairing.
Of course, I’ve been making both for years. Turns out pets are really bad in the kitchen.
