A quotation from Samuel Johnson
Of many writers who filled their age with wonder, and whose names we find celebrated in the books of their contemporaries, the works are now no longer to be seen, or are seen only amidst the lumber of libraries which are seldom visited, where they lie only to show the deceitfulness of hope, and the uncertainty of honour.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
That every man would be rich if a wish could obtain riches, is a position which I believe few will contest, at least in a nation like ours, in which commerce has kindled a universal emulation of wealth, and in which money receives all the honours which are the proper right of knowledge and of virtue.

I don't see that it makes any point that someone in the Swedish academy just decides that this work is noble enough to receive a prize--I've already gotten the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding a thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it--those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors.

Healey ‘demands answers,’ community members rally after ICE detains Milford high school student
The high school junior was arrested Saturday morning on his way to volleyball practice. Governor Maura Healey said she is "demanding immediate answers."
By Molly Farrar, June 1, 2025
"A Milford #HighSchool student was detained by federal immigration officials on his way to volleyball practice Saturday, prompting a protest of hundreds of people.
" 'It was shocking. It’s frankly disgusting,' said coach Andrew Mainini.
"The high school junior was arrested when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulled over a car full of students, according to multiple reports. The boys were on their way to an early Saturday morning volleyball practice; Mainini told Boston.com he initially thought they overslept.
"But, one of the student athletes texted Mainini, letting him know that the driver of their carpool had been detained by federal agents. The coach learned more details from the students Sunday, who said that upwards of ten masked people, who appeared to be ICE agents, began questioning the three high schoolers and scanning their faces with cell phones on their way to practice.
" 'These are high school students. They’re #honors and #APLevel students. They are members of athletic teams. They are members of the student council. They are members of the school musical ensembles,' Mainini said.
"Sunday morning, Milford families celebrated during the high school’s graduation ceremony. Afterwards, community members gathered to support the detained student at Milford Town Hall. The town, which is about 40 miles southwest of Boston, is nearly 30 percent foreign-born, according to census data.
"During Sunday’s demonstration, family members identified the detained student as 18-year-old #MarceloGomes, according to reports. He is originally from Brazil, and his full name is #MarceloGomesDaSilva, according to the ICE inmate tracker. The tracker did not say where he is currently being held as of Sunday evening."

Rep. James Comer, who wasted plenty of taxpayers dollars on investigations that were a complete waste of time, spoke of "all the good Americans who actually deserve to be recognized for their public service." He is too dumb to understand that Liz Cheney is one of those good Americans, and she certainly deserves the Presidential Citizens Medal that she is receiving. #honors

A quotation from Truman, Harry S:
«
You see the thing you have to remember. When you get to be President, there are all those things, the honors, the twenty-one-gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn’t for you. It’s for the Presidency, and you’ve got to keep yourself separate from that in your mind…
