Note: That is not, in fact, what socialism is. However, this may be one of the more revealing political moments of the past decade: a leading politician openly acknowledging efforts to redefine a political term based on contemporary political rhetoric, as opposed to its original/historic meaning.

Asked if he’d ever promote a sports betting company, Wemby said, “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it, in my opinion to this. Everybody does whatever they wanna do, without me.” I’m in love with the last sentence.

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

from Openings: Poems (1968)
