Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

I feed the street dogs every day in Thailand but some of them are more excited about the attention and play time than anything.
Like little Twix here. They are just trying to survive but at the end if today heβs only really a puppy β€οΈ

My favorite street dog rescue of all time is without a doubt Shaq.
This photo I was sent was the first I knew of him. I saw the mass growing out of his neck and had to go get him immediately.
His recovery has been incredible and yesterday I went to visit him (1/10)

After all 80 street dogs are fed and all sick dogs taken care of myself and Big Mac have a walk then lay and just listen to the jungle.
Big Mac has kidney failure but heβs already had 4 great months here. We hope for many more.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, wearing clergy attire with a red stole, speaks at a podium in the National Cathedral. An overlay text references gay, lesbian, and transgender children. The tweet comments express contrasting opinions on Christianity.
Jesus Christ would have nodded in agreement at her message.

Chris Murphy: "Political violence in this country just become mainstream. It is now a fact of life in America. If you commit an act of horrific violence in the name of the POTUS, that president will make sure you get away with it. That is fundamentally un-American."

Pardoning cop-beating rioters, attacking the clergy and threatening to invade sovereign nations and we're not even 48 hours into the Trump regime.

I believe a key element of Trump's strategy is to put out a constant stream of clickbait to keep people distracted so they don;t pay attention to the underlying grift.
