Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Image is of a brown and black smoking pipe on a cream background. It is a well-known 1929 artwork by Rene Magritte called "The Treachery of Images (This is Not a Pipe)" in English. 
The original artwork has "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" written underneath, which translates to "this is not a pipe". This image has "bitch I might be" underneath instead.

And I speak of spiritual suffering! Of people seeing their talent, their work, their lives wasted. Of good minds submitting to stupid ones. Of strength and courage strangled by envy, greed for power, fear of change.

That said humour often relies on some kind of transgression but it doesn't make these kinds of people okay. Actually, was reading an article about it today. theconversation.com/friday-essay...

Friday essay: is ‘wokeness’ killing comedy – or are ageing comedians crying wolf?
Manners have changed. This is a good thing. But many comedians who moan about being ‘cancelled’ are actually thriving in an era of supposed increased sensitivity.
