La diplomatie est le meilleur moyen de résoudre les conflits internationaux. L'escalade militaire conduit toujours à un cycle de violence.

I’ve read Doors of Perception. Haven’t seen wife’s book. Huxley, C.S. Lewis died 11/22/63 day JFK killed. So their deaths didn’t receive news coverage. I don’t know if psychedelic drugs is a valid path to mysticism. You can grow mescaline in UK but prepping it for consumption is illegal.

This book has frightened me twice: the first time I read it in sixth form and when I realized it was coming true. We have been dehumanized by technology and are psychologically manipulated.

"How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in ’t."

O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!

La lecture de « En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule », de l'écrivain et sociologue queer français Édouard Louis, m'a dévastée, consternée, choquée, étonnée, émue, interpellée, enragée et amusée. Ce livre est disponible en anglais.

Tiere sind sehr intelligent und haben eine ausgezeichnete Menschenkenntnis. Sie erkennen, wem sie vertrauen können. Donald Trump ist der erste Präsident, der weder eine Katze noch einen Hund hat.

Dr. King had a deep understanding for need of agape love — a concern for wellbeing of others. We have to face our fears and act with courage, faith, love, mercy, never being unkind or harsh. This 1963 book is important to me. It’s on my top 10 list.

W.H. Auden’s pre-war and post-war poems. Poeticus Interruptus — pungent, concise, funny, raunchy, deadly serious, religious, pagan, cynical, sweet. Must be read as one book, a perfect companion for our age of anxiety.

It’s obvious that authoritarian Trump and Neo-Fascist Republicans want people to fear their government. In a democracy, it’s better for the government to fear the people.

The same is true of traumatized pets in Gaza. I have a contact there. The IDF routinely shoot cats and dogs. I've also heard there are pet food and veterinary medications in Ukraine. I hope God is infuriated. I know I am.

M. Trump est l'homme le plus âgé à avoir jamais accédé à la présidence, avec cinq mois de plus que Joe Biden en 2021.

BUSH ORDERS TROOPS INTO LOS ANGELES

Trump disregards Constitution. No insurrection in LA justifying troops. CA Nat’l Guard has strict rules of engagement. Their military ethics, training, values will be “obstacle" to misconduct. Bush legitimately, sent 13,800 troops to LA, CA couldn’t handle insurrection. That was lawful. Trump isn’t.

Trump didn’t want ‘wounded’ soldiers in military parade: ‘Doesn’t look good for me’ Holding a Soviet-style parade was one of Donald Trump’s preferred ways to celebrate US military

We can be certain there will be no vets in wheelchairs, amputees, badly burned, blind or otherwise wounded at Trump’s parade.

Historically, I can only think of one man who had a military parade on his birthday. With DOGE and austerity cuts and mass firings, how can Americans afford a $92 million plus Trump’s $100 million ballroom? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

I don’t think you’d be cruel to Trump’s mourners (wife kids) Neither would I. But if Trump died there are people (who know he’s a dirtbag) who would act like Christ had died. My point is that if he died, some people would feel pity. If he got the runs and missed the parade that would be funny.
