When writing his "Shakespeare's Star Wars" adaptations, Ian Doescher faced the problem of how to represent Yoda's unusual grammar, with all the other characters speaking in iambic pentameter, so he had Yoda speak in Haiku. 🙂

Neither he nor Trump should receive one: they should both be in jail. No one with both objectivity and a moral compass could argue otherwise. For Biden's part, he armed a genocide, and continued to fund a genocidal state.

I feel utter disgust for both of them. Biden armed and funded a genocide: he should have been incarcerated for life. They both should be.

The idea that the Russia-Ukraine War and the US-Iran War are merging into one global conflict is perplexing. The US is siding with Russia even as Russians help Iranians kill American soldiers. So the new global war would have to involve the USA helping others kill Americans.

The skeleton was as happy as a madman whose straightjacket had been taken off. He felt liberated at being able to walk without flesh. The mosquitoes didn't bite him anymore. He was neither hungry nor thirsty, hot nor cold. He was far from the lizard of love. -Leonora Carrington

Came across this in a 99-year-old crime novel, and noticed how it perfectly describes Elon Musk. He's not even original in his awfulness.
Extract from RAJ Walling's "The Dinner Party at Bardolph's" (1927):

"Yet for a year or two Bardolph com-
manded more of the good things of the
material world than Midas ever had. He
was more flatulently toadied and lick-
spittled than Queen Elizabeth. People
abased themselves before him. They
crawled. Bardolph had done nothing to
enhance the wealth or the beauty or the
usefulness of life. He was less import-
ant to mankind than the scavenger of
the streets or the cleaner of the sewers.
Much less. Yet they crawled. The ancient aristocracy of England crawled - some of it. The free and independent and enlightened Press crawled - some of it. The City and Law. The race-course and the Senate.
All crawled. Bardolph had millions.
How he got his millions nobody seemed
clearly to know. Nobody seemed to care
He had them.
Bardolph never made millions. He had
not brains enough to make a paper boat.
The best letter he could write would have earned him a stiff imposition in an elementary school. He was a futile parasite."

Goodnight. Summer Night in Studenterlunden, Edvard Munch, 1899.
Painting of a summer night in Oslo's Studenterlunden park. There are trees, paths, and distant figures. A path cuts across the painting and divides. There are figures sat in the foreground who seem in an embrace.
