I wait... and wait... for a unifying, positive statement from the Democratic Party, assuring us that we will "Build Back Better" post-Trump, that lawbreakers will be thoroughly prosecuted, that better days are ahead. Would that really be too much to ask? Do we have to do our party's work?

It occurs to me that an X is what we touch to make a post or picture disappear from our screens. Much like X dot com is a thing to press to make logic & common sense disappear.

If you haven't read this, please do. It is the kind of reporting that I have been hoping for for months. But that doesn't make it any easier to take; it will turn your stomach to see the cruelty of the U.S. system now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I have yet to hear any of the media note the REASON the FBI didn't allow applicants who had been involved in extramarital affairs or bestiality. It is to make sure their applicants are not vulnerable to blackmail.

The News Media need to be right up in Mike Johnson's face, right now, asking him point-blank whether he will try to subvert the election by refusing to seat democratically elected Democrats.

I fantasize that every Antiquarian and used bookstore owner, every collector, every librarian in the country converges on the Amazon warehouse in Las Vegas and stares down the book vandals until the place is dismantled. They are destroying some of the best art in human history.

A rooftop wind turbine that could change the way we think about home energy Imagine generating electricity from the wind without needing a massive tower, a huge plot of land, or a traditional wind farm. The technology shown here is designed to bring small-scale wind generation directly onto rooftops

The Existential Angst most Americans are feeling now is paralyzing. The demonic "fire hose of bad news" is torturing us in countless ways. Anger, embarrassment, horror at the actions of our own government. No thinking person will come out of this unscathed.

We must find some way (besides voting, which is the most important thing) for Americans who are angry and disgusted with the actions of this administration to express their feelings effectively despite their need to go to demanding jobs and raise kids & look after parents. They so want to help. How?

Many thanks to the Toronto Star for inadvertently showing us why we should all use the Oxford Comma. Apparently Sylvia had some, let's say, complicated hobbies:
Headline from the Toronto Star:

The latest historical fiction
books take inspiration from
Sylvia Plath, a New York
vigilante and Shah of Iran

We review ‘Daffodil Days,’ ‘Lady X,’ ‘Love Lane’ and
‘Mistress of the Persian Boarding House.

Allons, enfants... I
The lyrics for La Marseille:
Allons enfants de la patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé ! (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes,
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes!

Aux armes, citoyens !
Formez vos bataillons !
Marchons ! Marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !
