  1. "Look," said #Roger, pointing.

    Starlings were settling on the utility wire, their bodies pressed next to each other, making the wire thicker and blacker all along its length.

    "Ooh!," breathed Janise. "Let's be a utility wire." She and Roger held hands and stood so that the slope of their arms from their shoulders to their hands imitated the wire.

    Starlings fluttered down, landing all along their arms, and the two laughed, feeling that weight, those heartbeats.

    Phone: "Hello?"

    Minervie: "Mike Item Nan Easy Roger Victor Item Easy. Unexpected contact. Please advise."

    Phone: "We tried to reach you, a survey agent named Marc..."

    Minervie simply hung up the phone without listening to the rest. She was deeply relieved. Chip and Peter both woke, having slid to the floor of the back seat they were both rather confused, she decided she would get them some bottles of pop.

  3. "#Roger, Pascal," the voice said. "Welcome to the Truck Stop. We charge standard fees, however, you are too large for our normal docking bays, so if you approach the central hub, we have docking tubes you can use to connect to the station. There is an extra charge for this service. Please acknowledge your acceptance of the charges."
    "One moment, Truck Stop," Jim said. (1/3) #wss366

    “Chosen ones?” Emily repeated. “Could you explain?”

    "It's a literary trope where someone, usually unsuitable, is 'chosen' to save the world while fighting against impossible odds."

    “Trope? Pray tell, what does that mean?”

    “A literary cliché.”

    “So, you think we’ve been chosen to stop the Illuminati?”

    “Not really. It’s more likely that we're Lovecraftian characters who will be polished off or driven insane by implacable dark forces.”

    “We could just travel to a pleasant time and place and live out our ghostly lives.”

    “When you were alive, you could have just written a nice ‘women’s column,’ and ignored the threat in Europe. But you didn’t.”

    Emily smiled, kicked a piece of coral, and then said, “No more than you can turn your back on this. There are things more significant than our puny lives and happiness.”

    #Roger that! Bogart couldn’t have said it better.”

    “You know I can’t #count the number of times you make references I don’t understand.”

    “Actor, 1940s. He starred in big films, including ‘Casablanca,’ where he says, ‘It doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.’”

    “It’s a good line even if your imitation smells like yesterday’s fish.”

    Casablanca (1942), starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, & Paul Henreid:

  5. "True. They've all presented their assholes for Trump to #roger at will, because they think if he primaries them, they'll lose. But a bunch of his efforts to do that have failed, and every politician with any backbone could see that, could build up a coalition of their own voters, and try to win—and I think many of them could win."

  6. In 1920, Charles Garland,
    the wealthy heir to a banking fortune, made newspaper headlines for doing the unthinkable:
    he declined to accept an inheritance of more than a million dollars from his late father’s estate. 
    Garland was disillusioned by the era’s gross #inequality
    — the top 10 percent of American income earners took in half the country’s annual national income.
    Garland saw his refusal to add to that problem as a way of standing up to systemic economic inequality. 
    But #Upton #Sinclair,
    author of “The Jungle,” the 1906 novel that exposed the brutal working conditions in the Chicago stock yards,
    read about Garland’s decision and thought he had a better idea.
    In a letter to Garland, Sinclair urged him not to refuse the money, but to instead give it away.
    He put him in touch with #Roger #Baldwin, a Harvard-educated labor advocate who had just founded the
    American Civil Liberties Union.
    Garland and Baldwin met and came up with a plan.
    Garland would bequest nearly a million dollars
    (the rough equivalent of $18 million today)
    to endow a philanthropic foundation called the "American Fund for Public Service".
    Baldwin would run the foundation with a board of directors comprised of people who were actively involved in efforts to create a more just society
