Looks like the additional sanctions on Russia he’s been threatening since January just got TACOed again.

Great photo! The wind-blown fur/whiskers

I think so. Was there a companion/similar series called ‘Long Ago’ cards?

Novelist James Baldwin (1914-87)

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."

"People pay for what they do...very simply; by the lives they lead."

a photo of a cat sliding down a firehouse pole. caption: "TAPPER"-THE POLE-SLIDING CAT Although he seems a bit grim in this picture, Tapper's firemen friends say he really enjoys sliding down the brass pole. Tapper is the pet of Engine 37 and Hook & Ladder 26 in Boston. After he had watched the firemen come down the poles for a while, Tap- 58 MORRIS FINEBERG, THE BOSTON POST per was taught to do it by himself. He lands on all fours on the rubber mat at the base of the pole and from there on gets around like any other cat.

As this obit mentions, Tom Lehrer gave up all copyright to his musical works. The lyrics, the music he wrote, and any audio and video he owned are in the public domain. What a mensch. A lot can be found on his website (which I've periodically backed up in the Internet Archive, including just now).

I don’t know why, but cheating at golf (and apparently he does it ALL the time) occurs to me as such a low-down, odious and pathetic way to behave.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
