  2. A quotation from Twain

    Unlimited power is the ideal thing when it is in safe hands. The despotism of heaven is the one absolutely perfect government, and earthly despotism would be the absolute perfect earthly government if the conditions were the same; namely the despot the perfectest individual of the human race, and his lease of life perpetual; but as a perishable, perfect man must die and leave his despotism in the hands of an imperfect successor, an earthly despotism is not merely a bad form of government, it is the worst form that is possible.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”

  3. It's a pervasive rumor that "Succession" is based on media mogul Rupert Murdoch and family (supposedly when he divorced fourth wife Jerry Hall, she was banned from giving story ideas to the HBO show's writing team as part of the settlement). According to a new story from @TheAtlantic, the real-life drama is as Machiavellian and cutthroat as on screen. McKay Coppins interviewed second son James and his wife Kathryn, about being a Murdoch, Fox, Brexit, Trump, the family trust that blew everything apart, and the "Succession" connection. Story may be paywalled.

  4. If you're familiar with #EasternHemlock #forests then you might picture them as a closed #canopy with sparse vegetation in the #understory.

    But when a fallen tree opens up that canopy, the #gap supports a profusion of #regeneration.

    Very cool to find this understory #heterogeneity at #RBWinterStatePark in #Pennsylvania.

  5. We're on HBO! Or will be. Our firm's lobby & conference room(s) are being disguised as the headquarters (I think) of Succession in an upcoming episode (they're filming from last night into tomorrow!)! This happens all the time but before I could toot about it LOL newbie
