Fundamental point made here. The one advantage we have over people in the past is that we can learn from them. Since we can we should. That’s the premise of my book "On Tyranny."

[在香港言論自由與人權陷落的今日，黎智英正承受著無盡的政治審判與單獨囚禁。面對體制的壓迫，許多人感到無力，但「參與」本身，就是對絕望最有效的反擊。
在台中連儂牆的十字路口，這 30 秒的投影不僅是視覺的衝擊，更是一場跨越時空的對話。每一位路過者的凝視，都在擴大「和平抵抗」的疆界。藝術的參與讓個人的無力感轉化為集體的共振，讓被囚禁者的意志在街頭重生。
請記得，只要不放棄，我們能做的事還有很多。世界會因為你的參與，看見正義的微光。]

All I can think is, I wonder what Nixon would say if he was alive today.
Probably, "I did 1/1000th of this and I got impeached."

CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Bugonia - Watched this last night and have mixed feelings about it. I expected sharper satire and more humor. The performances were great, with both Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons doing excellent work. I really disliked the ending, though.

I found that reading it out loud makes more sense than reading it silently. And thinking of starting a reading Shakespeare out loud group.
Reading Shakespeare is all about finding the right velocity. Read it too fast, and it won't make any sense. Read it too slow, and it'll make even less sense.
