  1. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

    We need to dare disturb the universe by not being manipulated or frightened by judgmental groups who assume the right to insist that if we do not agree with them, not only do we not understand but we are wrong. How dull the world would be if we all had to feel the same way about everything, if we all had to like the same books, dislike the same books.

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  6. A quotation from Horace

    We learn more quickly and bring back to mind more readily
    The things we laugh at than those we respect and revere.
     
    [Discit enim citius, meminitque libentius ilud
    Quod quis deridet, quam quod probat et veneratur.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 1 “To Augustus,” l. 262ff (2.1.262-263) (14 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]

  10. TELL US AGAIN Speaker #CosplayColbert that #DonTheCon's Approval Rating is now "90%". 🤦‍♂️

    Two polls.

    Trump's handling of his job as president? Disapprove 58%.

    Among those who who feel "Strongly" about their position: 47% "Strongly Disapprove."

  11. A quotation from James Burgh

    If you have a friend that will reprove your faults and foibles, consider you enjoy a blessing, which the king upon the throne cannot have.

    James Burgh (1714-1775) British politician and writer
    The Dignity of Human Nature, Book 1 “Of Prudence” (1754)

  12. For the first time since the start of his second term, #Trump hit 50% #disapproval in #VoteHub's #polling #aggregation today. votehub.com/polls/

    Presidents have come back from this. #Reagan bottomed out at something like 30% early in his first term, and then of course won re-election in a landslide. But Trump doesn't have that kind of political acumen.

    If we have anything resembling a fair #election, 2026 will be a bloodbath, and I'm willing to bet 2028 as well. If we don't, well, it will be a bloodbath of a different kind.

  13. A quotation from Fuller, Thomas (1654):

    «
    If evil Men speak good, or good Men evil of thee; examine thy Actions, and suspect thy self: But if evil Men speak evil of thee; hold it as an Honor, and by way of Thankfulness love them; but upon condition, that they continue to hate thee.

  14. I don't know what kind of bird this is, but this is the disapproving look I imagine coming from every OP who's post I've commented on.
