Every single day I see something on here that reminds me of this passage from Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

It was too much the way of Monseigneur under his reverses as a refugee, and it was much too much the way of native British orthodoxy, to talk of this terrible Revolution as if it were the only harvest ever known under the skies that had not been sown--as if nothing had ever been done, or omitted to be done, that had led to it--as if observers of the wretched millions in France, and of the misused and perverted resources that should have made them prosperous, had not seen it inevitably coming, years before, and had not in plain words recorded what they saw.

"Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.

Someone posted this under home video footage of Dolly Parton singing in a pub in Ireland in the 80s/early 90s (judging by clothing) and I think it's crazy to be like "we didn't rush to record things back then" under a VIDEO of a spontaneous event. Someone did indeed record this.

Anonymized TikTok comment reading: "Beauty, everybody in that pub sat there and watched that beautiful moment with their own eyes and not a single person reached for their pocketbook. To grab their phone so that they could post it on the internet to try to get likes. And not take it in, it's broke down world that we live in now doesn't get to have simultaneous spur the moment once a lifetime movements anymore.

Headline from website GunsAmerica: A Million Rounds in Half a Day: The Remarkable British Vickers Machinegun

Large photo of a young girl standing at the door of a school bus, eyes downcast and hands wringing in front of her. A woman with shoulder length brown hair reaches from the foreground to touch the child's arm comfortingly.

Caption: Change is invariably hard. Whether it is entering a new school or fielding a radical new weapon, such trabsitions are typically rocky.

Article text: Periods of transition are inevitably awkward. Matriculating from kindergarten to first grade is reliably trying. Marriage, divorce, graduation, and retirement can all be challenging for their own unique reasons as well. Periods of transition in military history, however, are invariably bloody.

"Shiho Murakami (Mikako Tabe) is a full-time housewife, who lives with her husband Torao Murakami (Wataru Ichinose) and her cute daughter Ichigo Murakami. Torao Murakami is a kind and bright man, but he is busy with work. [Highlighted portion begins here] Shiho Murakami has made the choice to become a full-time housewife, because she felt that she couldn't do two things at the same time from her past experience. She finds it difficult to find other full-time housewives like her during the day, where working moms are the norm. [Highlighting ends] She spends most of her time with her daughter. In the midst of all this, Shiho Murakami meets and interacts with people who are in completely different positions, but who have the same problems related to housework."
