Are you in the mood for a happy story? I miss the days when the WaPo had a "Style" section entirely devoted to features like this one. But at least we get to learn the saga of a little calico named Francine.

A woman on a podcast reported that her mother was cold and distant, as described in the article. But at the end of the war she was taken back when her mother spoke to her gently, touched her lovingly. The mother knew Americans loved their children and hoped she could be sent to the states.

I finally caught the nice Gustave Caillebotte exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. It closes after Sunday.
People look at a Gustave Caillebotte painting of a man in a rowboat. People look at three Gustave Caillebotte paintings of boating scenes. People look at Gustave Caillebotte’s painting of a rainy-day street scene in Paris.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

When I came of age a very popular book, read by most everyone, was a self help book called "I'm Okay, You're Okay" - 1970ish

It laid out ways one could get needs met in adult mode without
finger pointing and animosity.

I often think how far our common discourse has fallen since those days.

Fascinating read about the guy who wrote the “first they came for” poem. The poem hides something critical—it’s not actually about indifference. He didn’t speak out because *he actively supported persecuting communists, trade unionists, and Jews!*

just worth reiterating that historically "we need to throw these people under the bus for pragmatic reasons" is often indistinguishable from, "I, personally, do not like these people and want to throw them under the bus." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/martin-nie...
