    "This Meme Kills Fascists: The Mockery of Messiah Trump Shows Us That We’re Winning

    Ridicule is his kryptonite.

    (. . .)

    As always, the failing, flailing president thought it would be a much-needed easy win: something he could impulsively lob into the ether without consequence; something to fully own the Libs and titillate his cultic devotees.

    Things didn’t go as he planned."

  2. J'adore : le PS qui demande à LFI de se retirer pour les laisser gagner pour que la gauche gagne, mais qui ne veut pas se retirer pour laisser LFI gagner quand ils sont en tête parce que "LFI c'est les méchants".

    Les gars.. Essayez d'être cohérents dans les choix de votre parti.

  5. 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. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

    My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments on it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Letter (1863-11-02) to James H. Hackett

  16. In our quest to end #bullying of the weak, we might have forgotten something.

    It's absolute crucial that there's as little bullying as possible. But #ridicule and #shame is also the one thing that works against batshit crazy dominator #narcissists, and even on some variations #psychopathic people.

    I think in the old times people did see this aspect of bullying as well. We might have forgotten it.

    How do we square these two aspects without hurting those that won't grow up to be nazis? 🤔

  19. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: I’m thinking of starting my own talk radio show. I’ll spout simplistic opinions for hours on end, ridicule anyone who disagrees with me, and generally foster divisiveness, cynicism, and a lower level of public dialogue!
       HOBBES: It would seem you were born for the job.
       CALVIN: Imagine getting paid to act like a six-year-old!

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist

    Le #ridicule de la vision marseillaise d'un journaliste parisien ou de #chatgpt
    "Quant à savoir où poser ses valises, la ville ne manque pas de propositions. Appartements lumineux face aux bateaux, hôtels discrets dans les rues en pente, studios nichés entre deux places animées : Marseille loge tout le monde, du voyageur économe au flâneur en quête de vue."

  25. A quotation from Horace

    But he that touches me, (hands off! I cry, —
    Avaunt, and at your peril come not nigh!)
    Shall for his pains be chaunted up and down,
    The jest and byeword of a chuckling Town.
     
                                            [At ille,
    Qui me conmorit (melius non tangere, clamo),
    Fiebit et insignis tota cantabitur urbe.]

    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 1, “Sunt quibus in Satira,” l. 44ff (2.2.44-46) (30 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]

    We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.

  28. A portrait of Trump made entirely from bits of pig entrails was created in Finland. Outside of the Kremlin and gas-lit US Voters, ridicule and contempt appear universal.

    There could only be one place to put the pig's anal sphincter 😃

  29. A quotation from Thoreau

    I wish my countrymen to consider, that whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can ever commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual, without having to pay the penalty for it. A government which deliberately enacts injustice, and persists in it, will at length even become the laughing-stock of the world.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Speech (1854-07-04), “Slavery in Massachusetts,” Anti-Slavery Celebration, Framingham, Massachusetts

  34. A quotation from Molière

    To expose vices to everyone’s laughter is to deal them a mighty blow. People easily endure reproofs, but they cannot at all endure being made fun of. People have no objection to being considered wicked, but they are not willing to be considered ridiculous.
     
    [C’est une grande atteinte aux vices que de les exposer à la risée de tout le monde. On souffre aisément des répréhensions, mais on ne souffre point la raillerie. On veut bien être méchant, mais on ne veut point être ridicule.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Preface (1669-03) [tr. Kerr]

  35. How to Save #USA,

    1. Matrix style ("Guns — lots of guns" ~ #Neo) Yep, good luck with that idea
    2. Buy USA. Good luck with that. I guess you could pay in anything except Crypto, Dollars or #IOU's
    3. Isolate as a #toxic #Terrorist state. Strangely enough that is what will happen as #Isolationism is now official policy of the 'geniuses' now ready to be charged.
    4. Ignore, #ridicule and document atrocities
    5. Back-tax those poisoning minds, #environment and ... well everything

    What is your #plan?

    Anyways I am off to do better things.

    - second breakfast, here I come
    - meditate on the meaning of life/kindness and compassion
    - exercise my body back into a state of 'fit for purpose
    - read a library book
    - join a queue (did not even know how to spell it)
    - do something random (oh yes now that is a plan) 🏴
