No society is immune from embracing evil on a mass scale. We read about the atrocities of the past, and we ask ourselves, "how could so many act with such cruelty?" But that cruelty is always a mirror reflection away. Evil that's popular is still evil. Resistance means rejecting that popularity.

I'm fitting right in with spooky season, since I'm so perpetually, excruciatingly exhausted that I'm basically zombie cosplaying.

"Why bother thinking for yourself when you can just spend all of your mental effort asking a machine to think for you?!"

I've been dealing with what feels like chronic fatigue for over a year now. Every day is a slog because I'm so worn out. I know I have sleep apnea & I hope that's the reason for the fatigue, but I can't do anything about it until I undergo a sleep study, & I can't do that until December.

An end to this war is the first step towards some semblance of peace. Even if that peace has Trump's image attached, if the peace holds (and if recent history is any indication, it very well may not hold) it's still preferable to more war. Hope for peace to stay.

All LIVING hostages are finally home. Extraordinary diplomacy by President Trump and his administration. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱

The most infuriating thing about this is how many Americans are just fine with the taste of boot.

The ALCS Game 1 Blue Jays looked like a team of podunk little leaguers who got into the third-base coach's hooch stash. Just awful. Guys, go home and think about what you did.

I often post about my love for ambient music, a genre that maybe 2% of the population finds appealing. Nevertheless, if you're one of those 2%, you'd do well to listen to the divine sounds of Symphocat. She's an absolute maestro of slow, dark, beautiful music.

Frosty, the white squirrel, visits my water dish almost every day. #animals #wildlife

White squirrel with light gray tail and dark eyes drinks from a clear bowl of water with pebbles on a stone patio. She keeps her back feet in the greenery. Blue sky.

She is the reason I can see more light than I used to.
