Hiraeth (HEE-reyeth)
(n.)
- An intense longing for a home you can’t return to, or that never was.
Used in a sentence:
“And evermore, deep in his small and ancient brest, there stirred a sorrow sharp as winter wind—a hiraeth for the numinous lands of Faerie that slipt into legend many ages agone.”

This:
"The key rupture, in fact, occurred in 2003, when the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada (1942—2003) ceased to exist and the current CPC was born."
Exactly.
Every time someone refers to them as 'Tories' I make this point. They haven't been Tories in 20+ yrs, those days are gone.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

A propos of nothing, I just want people here in the Good Place to know and understand (and maybe consider?) that we have 11 universities in NS and all the Presidents there make less than 5% of the President of our power corporation.

Check out that response rate, eh!
I know several folks, including yours truly, ripped them a new one in this survey.
Willing to bet the use of "fucking idiots" is probably a statistically significant keyword throughout, lol!
Not willing to bet useful change comes from it though.

27,000!!! That response rate says it all.

Millions of people boycotting & speaking out in unison put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.
Let’s not forget he’s not the only victim of fascism.
For every Kimmel there’s hundreds more who’ve been silenced for their views that we may never hear of.
Fight for them.
