It’s not really about Hegseth or Trump, both noted chumps. It’s all about the sycophants who confirmed Pete. Government just doesn’t work without thought and skepticism.

Ai Weiwei’s graphic memoir is remarkable. It’s as much a meditation on how to exist in the world as it is his life story. A really beautiful work. #graphicnovel #comics

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

GREAT GATSBY

It’s difficult rn to talk civics and history with teens who, for as far back as they can remember, there’s Trump. Me: this isn’t normal Them: what do you mean yeah it is #EduSky

Heard on NPR this morning that tired adage, “in a small town people look out for each other” I grew up in a town of 1000 people, and there were plenty who no one looked out for Now I live in a huge city and neighbors really look out for each other in times of need and crisis and everyday
