Since the film industry started.

The film industry has some sick people in it, for sure.

Woody Allen and Roman Polanski...😬

I hadn't wanted to believe this until I heard it from a non*Western source. This is disturbing. Is this ~~who~~ why POTUS was hiding all weekend?

Oh wow. That means there's a non-zero chance they're lying about treating the extraordinarily renditioned well.

From my personal experience it's "letting reach exceed grasp." It's tedious and slow, but in the past, what worked was a pen, notebook and dictionary. I'd read until I reached a word/concept I didn't grasp then physically write it down along with the definition in my own words. Then I'd have to reread the paragraph until I looked at notes to grasp it. Then when the book was finished, I had forgotten half. I put the book away for a time to mull over notes and what I remembered, then went back and reread it later, referring to notes as needed. By the third or fourth reading, I pretty much had it. I did this with Shakespeare, Hawking and Dawkins.

I've been wanting to read more now but am putting it off because I've several vision problems that are degenerative. They can be corrected with surgery that costs a lot and I am currently uninsured. Add to that my current devices lack storage and reading online is a bit more challenging, even with corrective lenses. I can do it, but miss a good bit that I don't realize on first or second readings.

Is Rwanda speaking honestly, as per the article? Can anyone familiar with Rwandan politics elucidate?

I was wondering if this may lead to a better relationship amongst Korea and occupied Korea.

God help us. Southeast USA?

It was asked. Because one had this or the other experience doesn't mean we all did. But we will have similar experiences surviving capitalist employment and other dealings.

 

The only other source was CNN. Does anyone else have other sources?

I agree about Mexico and Lebanon, heaven forbid!

I wonder how are those “advisors” selling the idea to Trump and his lackeys.

Visceral emotional whims, apparently.

Maybe I'm being unnecessarily pessimistic. I'll start walking again this week, Erin brought rain for days.

There's no doubt in my mind about that. My doubt is in the mental soundness of whomever has the president's ear.

 

I just finished reading two posts here, one about Finland coordinating their invasion of Russia with Germany, and the other about “Blowtorch Bob” D’Aubuisson (which for some reason brought to mind "Bandar Bush" and MBS). I started thinking about all the money spent on perpetual war, slavery, genocide, to get expensive natural resources very inexpensively, and sell back to the people resources needed to sustain life at very expensive rates mostly unaffordable to them. Surely it would be less destructive to all life, the planet, and precious money to just...be equitable. It seems like bloodlust and may be the real driver, after all. Is this a delusional thought?
