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.”

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.

Orange Tabby cat, Greg, standing tall on his hind toe beans with front paws stretched straight in the air trying to catch a catnip bubble floating above his head.

It’s okay to not be okay with not being okay. Nobody’s okay, okay?

I hope so, Linds. At this point, my Democrat Spirit Clausometer is near zero.

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.

Editor’s Note: the adorable sleepy stretched out Tabico previously listed as #2 is actually #5.

They all #1 in our hearts. 💕

The final two.

#4… lap lover Tortie chonk who is somehow fast as lightning.

#1… the OG, former Oklahoma forest feral who walked into our cabin & into our hearts.

Four of six…

#6… rescued three & a half weeks ago. She’s a funny little girl.

#2… Tabico girl, former ferocious feral that just decided to walk into the house one day.

That makes your years on stage & screen even better.

My kids have always been furry, but it’s good to know that someone out there is taking the time to ensure that the next generation uses their talents to keep the arts alive & well.

The only thing that I am certain of these days is uncertainty. 💔

The White House says it’ll partially fund SNAP, but didn’t say how much or when after two judges ruled. Judges shouldn’t have to remind presidents to follow the law and to feed people.

Few can say that they truly love what they do & the people work with during their lifetimes.

Congrats on being one of the lucky ones, Lisa. 💕

Huh. I would love to know more, Doc.

Are these patients, strangers on the Max or people in your group chat?

They definitely have or had a case, but it would likely get tossed or delayed indefinitely due to the fact that the GOP controls everything.

Tylenol: “A big thanks to this administration for making a bullshit claim about our product causing Autism, which severely hurt our valuation while also enriching all of the politicians who were in on the scam & practice market manipulation / insider trading.”

Sorry about the run-on sentence, MJ.

The puppet masters behind this administration must also be looking to go to war with the US based distributors who receive the goods from our Southern neighbors & elsewhere.

Surely it will result in losses of US civilian, military & probably some DC types lives.

Poke the Cocaine Bear…
