Tomorrow is Indigenous People's Day. I have to work, unfortunately. My kid doesn't have to go to school. He'll play video games with his friends. I wish I could be with him and have a history day because I feel inspired.

if I said fascism holds the world hostage it's the truth.

if I said nationalism holds the world hostage that would also be true.

"Police say Brent Jones, 26, urinated in the reflecting pool and stomped on and broke the eternal flame at the site."

A no-brainer: Pam Bondi could pretend to be a both-sides advocate of justice by staging an outraged press conference and pledging to prosecute this guy. But she won't.
Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed
Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Screenshot of text from the interview:

You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?

I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation
Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.
