I thought the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Scar tissue" had the line, "With the Burgess Shale it's a lonely view", which I thought was really a great. youtu.be/mzJj5-lubeM

An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

“Are you a communist?”
“No I am an anti-fascist”
“For a long time?”
“Since I have understood fascism.”

– Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

"I have been much moved by your letter; and the pleasure it has given me has some little sorrowful ingredient in it. In the strife and struggle of this great world where most of us lose each other so strangely, it is impossible to be spoken to out of the old times without a softened emotion. You so belong to the days when the qualities that have done me most good since, were growing in my boyish heart that I cannot end my answer to you lightly. We are all sailing away to the sea, and have a pleasure in thinking of the river we are upon, when it was very narrow and little." Charles Dickens 
Letter to his first love, Maria Beadnell. 
10th February 1855

Cleaning nursery school water based fingerprint off the high traffic floor and glass cost $1700. Having experts "verify" there was no damage, security guards milling about. It adds up... if you want it to.

this isn't cops. this is Federal Justice Department call. Not an accident or lazy.

Climate Activist Who Targeted Degas Sculpture Sentenced to 18 Months Timothy Martin, a climate activist who targeted a Degas sculpture in the National Gallery of Art, was sentenced to 18 months and must pay over $4,000 in fines.

washable finger paint on glass and high gloss wooden base. Felony Vandalism. No art damaged, no permanent damage at all. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Apparently not anymore. Free speech stifling. See paint-on-glass climate protests. They can find $400 in damage in overtime for having two security guards show up and watch the gate for a few hours. Damage does means "it cost us this" which is up to them.

Park Slope isn't a punching bag

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I want this country.

Tell you what, it is a pretty beautiful experience to live in a house with someone who is roughly one million times braver than you.

At the end of The Return of the King by Tolkien, they find that things have changed. There are curfews, “Sherrifs” who steal and intimidate. Sam’s comment comes in that context:

“If this is what Shirriffing has come to, then it’s a bad job, and you’d be better off giving it up.”

Don't confuse the economic bubble for usage. The internet was a bubble in 2000 and it was tiny and quaint back then.

Nice neutral choice of "saga" @nytimes.com

You went with that picture? Very Putin of you.
