Abandoned‽ This is the final remnant of the old trolley car system in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Carefully maintained by a huge group of old folk who care.

ALT text! Please God!
I don't fucking care what the Constitutional law experts say.

There's a massive flaw in the Constitution when someone this fucking crazy gets to act this fucking crazy for this fucking long.

25th amendment, my ass, We should never be held hostage like this. Once we get this corrupt motherfucker out of office, a system needs to be set in place so this kind of bullshit can NEVER EVER happen again.

This is amazing longevity. I think I read that the Junta -a group of readers Franklin assembled who eventually became some of the founders of the Library Company- started meeting in 1726! Three hundred years ago!

Lao-tzu speaking to us thru translator Stephen Mitchell (1988) in the fifth or sixth century B.C.E. #wisdom #hope #criticism
A beautiful red font and paired red and black line at the top centers "17"

Below is the text from Stephen Mitchell's 1988 translation of the Tao te Ching for Harper Collins 
"When the Master governs, the people 
are hardly aware that he exists. 
Next best is a leader who is loved. 
Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised.

If you don't trust the people, 
you make them untrustworthy.

The Master doesn't talk, he acts. 
When his work is done, 
the people say, "Amazing: 
we did it, all by ourselves!" "

I think I learned one of the young voices was the RA to the other on the banana slug campus of the University of California. Maybe there was a hacky sack -oh sorry- footbag competitor (?). @jordanmorris.bsky.social do you recall any of this?
