Let’s hope others follow suit.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

The square Valentine card image from the band Ghost features a blue heart with a skewed charcoal textured pentagram on the blue background accented by two bright gold points of light at the top of the heart and a muted partial point of light on the bottom right. There’s a scraggly bare wood tree branch on the middle side left edge projecting into the heart. At the center of the heart is on open wooden coffin-the top lid is on the right side and the open coffin is on the left side where the 1969 versions of Papa Nihil & Sister Imperator (from the “Rite Here, Right Now” cartoon film) stand in an embrace. Above the heart is written “You’re the guy I wanna do & you know that it takes two” (song lyrics). On the bottom left corner are the words “Inspired by ‘Kiss the Go-Goat.’ “ The GHOST band logo is in the bottom right corner. The entire heart image and any wording are on a gradient background of shades of purple moving from the left edge to right, light purple on the left side and dark (almost black) purple on the right edge of the image. The purple background is textured with black and we can infer that it’s possibly the same type of image that’s shown in the blue heart background. This isn’t clear (there are roughly textured, linear black marks woven into the purple).

Kiss the Go-Goat. Greetings from the band Ghost.

Gaza is this week’s bright shiny object. Pay attention to Trump’s effort to aggregate as much govt power as possible in the WH & convert the civil service into loyalists, while GOP members of Congress watches let it happening without exercising their constitutional power to check it.
