*I laughed for fully five minutes at the thought of her sweet movie voice saying those words down that hole, then clapping her hands together and giggling.

Martin Luther King Jr.
“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate….
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Daily Comedy: “Answering machines and old people, that’s not a good combination, I find.”
Most Americans will get quite a linguistic workout trying to understand the Lancashire accent, but I find its diction economical and the lexicon hilarious. (See: The Full Monty)

Need some good news about the pandemic? There’s a map for that
Somebody did it, somebody finally took my advice and started a site that tracks nothing but good news: One World Stories.
I expect my royalties check any day now.

Trump scurries into bunker as Washington burns
Yup, a rat will always find its hole. No mention whether this particular rat bothered to make sure his family got in there safely with him. That’s called consistency.
Also consistent is his surprise that race riots could get so severe so quickly. I mean, you shit on a people for centuries, blame them for the bruises they sustain at your hands, lie to them, ridicule them, deny them a voice and agency, and then take away their livelihood and freedom during a viral pandemic lockdown that turns the mental and emotional pressure cooker up to an eleven. Who knew they’d get desperate?
What a complete asshole.
Say, didn’t Hitler end it all in a bunker with his main squeeze and a gun? Maybe the White House should stock that thing with cyanide and a Luger, you know, for old time’s sake. Keepin’ it real.
