Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

If we survive this as a country and we don't hold every one of these people accountable we will not have survived this as a country.

Fidenae, 9th century BCE Near Rome, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a dog buried beneath a tuff and clay structure. Not just a carcass—it was a foundation sacrifice, a ritual meant to protect the newborn settlement. #ancientdog #romandogs #dogarchaeology #archeozoology #romacanesmundi #dog

An actual screen shot of the list of comedians I can no longer respect and have no interest in hearing or seeing again. If they write for a movie or show, I will not watch. No late night talk show appearances. Nothing. Ever again. I want to hear nothing from or about them.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

For context, by percentages of language proficiency I speak
98% of English
60% of Spanish
45% of Romanian
30% of Italian
5% of Egyptian Arabic
And I'm opening to learning more of these and even other languages.
I don't think I'm special or unique for the world... but in the US....

You may Get in the shower, but apart from that there are only 2 others ways to approach it. You either Hop in, or Jump in the shower (both of which you should never actually do).

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.
