An excerpt from Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s Nobel lecture -

“…violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.”

A dog that hates pizza?

That’s a story… maybe even the plot for a children’s book about animal welfare?

I wish that everyone treated their pets & strays so well. 🩷

I’m so sorry that you had to / still experience difficulty with health stuff, Bams. I wish I could do something to make things better.

As far as having a Grimm’s Mom, that is especially angering. A kid cannot change the hand they’re dealt & surely aren’t to blame for their sad situation.

A living wage is the story.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

So this stuff is being produced locally? The killer is already in the house, to reference so many horror flicks.

It’s just a matter of time before this administration starts murdering US citizens in the drug trade.

I’m always learning stuff thanks to you. Well - reading more, I should say… as my ability to commit anything to memory is long gone.

Either way, thanks for always offering me / us fascinating facts about art, life & more, Doc. 🩷

This One Tiny Number Can Add Thousands to Your Coins
In coin collecting, grading is one of the biggest forces shaping value, and that is as true on the Strand or in Bloomsbury as it is in New York or Hong Kong.

I wonder which caused more ER visits back in our youth: trampolines or lawn darts?

Here’s a photo of my cat trying to catch a bubble. You’re welcome.

It’s probably the only way that MAGA won’t abandon Guyliner once The Dipshit starts his descent into Hell.*

* The only reason I’d ever want to believe is if Hell does actually exist.
