Did we ever figure out why he was on the roof?

This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power.

That night when Toad went to bed he thought the biggest thoughts that he could think. Toad thought about giant sunflowers. He thought about tall oak trees. He thought about high mountains covered with snow.

Seems a bit sketchy that the entire House of Representatives is just meekly agreeing to shuffle off and obfuscate the Epstein files for another two months, instead of moving to vacate in favor of a Speaker who cares about justice and transparency.

Did I say sketchy? I meant complicit.

“Active hope is not wishful thinking.
...or waiting to be rescued by some savior.
#ActiveHope is waking up to the beauty of life
on whose behalf we can act.
We belong to this world.
The web of life is calling us forth at this time.
We’ve come a long way & are here to play our part."

Yeah. I call shenanigans.
