““I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.””
Never lose hope, persevere.

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

RIP Bobby, another good man gone.

I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul”
Forever Grateful.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I agree with this. Free speech absolutism has been an exercise in autocannibalism.
We can’t limit political spending—even as big money consumes our democracy—bc free speech.
We can’t do anything about misinformation amid the worst public health crisis in a century bc, again, free speech.
Suicide.

My unpopular opinion is that our insane suicidal fetishization of "free speech" even in the face of living through the past 50 years, without even minimally reasonable constraints, is going to be the death of the country.

May three spirits visit all misers & misanthropes of our time & fill them with the dread of their misery.

To show them love, light, & the possibility of a brighter future for us all.
