I am neck-deep in the silent era, of course, and it's amazing how much they talked about quarantine and communicable diseases. There was a whole genre of comedies that revolved around lovers being quarantined together (like CUPID IN QUARANTINE below)

En Corée du Sud, une loi contre les fausses informations perçue comme une menace pour la démocratie
En Corée du Sud, une loi contre les fausses informations perçue comme une menace pour la démocratie
Le pays a révisé sa législation pour sanctionner plus durement la diffusion d’informations illégales ou fausses. Mais le flou du texte fait craindre des atteintes à la liberté d’informer et l’autocensure des journalistes, dans un pays où les pressions politiques comme économiques pèsent déjà sur les médias.

Minnesota! I am obsessed with how adorable this dog is. He is still available for some reason. And you can trust John. Please consider bringing The Professor into your family so that you can supply me with pictures of him forever.
The Professor, our foster dog, is up for adoption but has had zero applications. And I get it, people are busy, but he’s wonderful.

Not a sleep in your lap dog but the king of sleep next to you dogs. Just a nice little 4 month old gentleman. With a PhD.

Dec. 23, 1925: Salt Lake City orders street Santas to remove their false whiskers, in compliance with a law against wearing masks in public. Miffed because the statute was intended to ban masked Ku Klux Klan parades, the hooded order complained that Santa beards should also be illegal.

In the last two weeks he's put his name on the Kennedy Centre, pushed "Trump accounts" for every kid and just announced a new Golden Fleet of Trump Battleships. And we're still in the first year of his term! This time next year, will the date be Trumpday the 23rd of Trump, twenty-twenty-trump?
This is some straight-up monarchy shit. Naming buildings after himself while he's alive, making his birthday a national holiday....
