  1. A quotation from Philip Larkin

    Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms
    Inside your head, and having people in them, acting.
    People you know, yet can’t quite name.

    Philip Larkin (1922-1985) English poet, novelist, librarian
    Poem (1974), “The Old Fools,” High Windows

    »The festival got off to a shaky start on Thursday after the competition jury, led by the German film-maker Wim Wenders, fielded questions about the conflict in Gaza. Asked if films can affect political change, Wenders said that “movies can change the world” but “not in a political way”.

    He added that film-makers “have to stay out of politics because…

  6. "I'm done for the day, Ms Bertier. I'll be back tomorrow. You have to press this button when I ring, OK? Not this one, this is the remote control. The beeper is on the right, the phone in the middle and the remote on the left.
    - I can't even remember my husband.
    - You were never married Ms Bertier.
    - Ah... It's even worse than I thought then..."

  8. So, just to make sure I get this right...

    There's a senile codger who sits at home at night, alone with his grievances, no friends, a wife that detests him and refuses to be in the same room with him. He stews and stares at the TV, flipping around hoping to find people saying nice things about him.

    Then, possibly triggered by whatever he sees on TV, or perhaps thermal noise in his degrading neurons, he comes up with some random, crazy thing, and he posts it to social media.

    And then the US cabinet jumps up and says "Yes sir, what a great idea sir, we're on it sir".

    Do I have that right?

    I think others are correct. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords would be a *much* better basis for a system of government.

  10. Whether ignorant or lying, 45 does not have the grasp of reality needed to be an effective president.

    Trump falsely claims Georgia Governor Kemp had difficulty reaching President Biden while Kemp discusses the conversation he had directly with Biden.

    Being this out of touch with the world, especially in a crisis, is one of the ways trump is not ready to be president.
