Today I learned that Bette Midler has never taken a minute to rest and check her phone while touring a museum. Either that, or she thinks a picture taken in one moment of time captures everything we need to know about the people whose image is being taken.
And also, apparently people of Bette Midler's generation, when they were young people, never once were bored or complained when their parents took them to an art museum. They always said "thank you so much for this culturally enriching experience! I can't get enough of it!"
Boomers do this sort of sh*t that drove them crazy when their parents did it to them...and then they wonder where that whole "ok boomer" meme came from.
"My generation listened to music that gave the middle finger to the man which is what made us great...and why are the stupid kids today not doing what I think they should be doing?!?!?"
Bette Midler in 1968: "Don't Trust Anyone Over Thirty!"
Bette Midler in 2019: "What the Hell is Wrong with the Kids These Days!!!"

I think many folks underestimate the extent to which the apocalyptic, Flight 93 mentality of American conservatism has been with us for decades. Take, for example, Bill Buckley's 1965 read on the Civil Rights Movement.
Buckley saw the Civil Rights Movement, PRE-SELMA BRIDGE, as a movement threatening to "overthrow a vast civilization which we consider to be the faith of our fathers."
Buckley, cont'd: "Because if it finally does come to a radical confrontation between giving up what we understand to be the best features of the American way of life...then we will fight the issue."

I think my favorite tell when it comes to the history of slavery and the founding is when someone says "almost no one thought slavery was wrong at that time." So, we shouldn't count the opinions of the 20% of the population that was enslaved in 1776?
It also lets off the hook the very significant number of white people in that era who thought slavery was wrong, but who out of concern for the economic interests of their slaveholding contemporaries agreed to go along to get along.
It also obscures the many people at the time who shared Thomas Jefferson's conviction that a) slavery was wrong but b) black people could not be freed and remain in the US because white people would never agree to live as equals with black people in the US.

Today is the day Infowars became President.
The report, written by his own DOJ's Inspector General, says the exact opposite of what Trump is saying here. I knew people could be quite irrational when it came to politics, but I had no idea tens of millions of people would be fine with being insulted & lied to like this.
The irony, of course, is that many people who were so mad about being lied to about the Iraq War voted for Trump so he would drain the swamp of such liars.

Chanyeol finishes work one evening.
He glances at his watch. 8:30pm. He has some time to spare to kill before he goes home.

He starts walking, his mind wandering back to this person name byun who was his first love and his biggest heart ache.
The night was cold and the taller tries to find some warmth from his coat. His face mask was drawn down to his chin so he could take a deep breathe and release a misty air.

He had a long day. Its been like this every day as well for past few years.
Sometimes Chanyeol wants to quit. He wonders if producing music is really what he wants to do for remainder of his life when the industry has become more demanding. He doesn't remember the last time he had a proper sleep, or the last time he was able to do things so freely.

A thread on the newest Epstein article before working...

Q. WHY?

Why did Ken Starr pressure Republican Justice Department officials to keep the Epstein case from ever being prosecuted?

Q. WHY?

Why did New York prosecutor Cy Vance Jr., try to downgrade Epstein’s sex-offender status?

Why did Alan Dershowitz, try to pressure the Pulitzer Prizes to shut out the Miami Herald for its epic investigative reporting that cracked open the case anew?

One of the messages that changed my approach to life and my life itself was by Pastor Poju a few years ago and it was titled “How Your Thoughts About Others Affect Your Own Life.”

For the past few years, that teaching has shaped my attitude towards others and changed my life.
I was born into a church where the mantra was that for it to be well with you, it must be woeful for someone else - and this is reflective of African society where people believe that their inadequacies are the fault of someone else blocking them or taking away their shine.
I must have listened to that message over 100 times since then and internalised the lessons to a point where I now find it difficult to wish ill on anyone else, even when the person clearly manifests to me as an adversary.

A heart filled with hate can rarely make progress.

Today I learned about the 'Cemetery of the Nameless' (Friedhof der Namenlosen) in Vienna and I desperately want to go there. It's a place where bodies would be washed up and, in time, buried. Today it's a place for the unknown folks of society, where they can be remembered.
The red candle in the picture brought back a vivid memory. I used to run by a cemetery in Stuttgart on autumn and winter evenings. Most cemeteries in Germany aren't old, and graves are well-tended - you only have a certain lease on the grave...
So every night when I passed the cemetery, roughly half of the graves would have a little red candle lit, flickering in the darkness, like this. It always affected me. It was a kind of beautiful sadness. Part reminder of mortality, part thankfulness for the richness of life.
