I’m proctoring an exam and have this grin in my face as I choke back laughter over Bonnie, maxipads and Motherfunkel. Thx for including me in the Scroll!
Oh my goodness I'm drooling all over Leviathan's food again!! YUM!! 😂
Been having a domestic goddess WEEK after the longest winter in human/non-human history. LOL!!! Thanks for the mention, beauty, and for keeping things super silly around here while I've been absent! I love that I can count on you for that. 😘✨💖
This poem was read as a eulogy for Alvin O. Carley at his funeral in July 1993.
Please tune in tomorrow for another blast from the past, here at the beginning of the Twisted Twenties decade. Tomorrow is a very special treat, “The Morpheus Proposal” which explains quite a lot of what you weren’t taught in high school about economics, the Cantillon effect, and who really runs things in the gooferment.
At the top of this post is an image from one of those big space telescopes the taxpayers have paid for and which is therefore in the public domain, whether NASA and the cretins in academia agree or not. It shows the aftermath of two galaxies colliding. May all your interpersonal relationships be more peaceful. Amen.
Overcoming cringe is asymptotic! A very wise statement, Demi. It is true, and mathematically significant. But, it reminds me of Zeno's paradox. Yes, if you cut the distance to your objective in half each time, you never "reach" your objective. But you might bring it within arm's length and, therefore, be able to reach out and touch it. Zeno was amusing but not very practical.
Always an absolute pleasure to be included in the world famous Scroll! Makes my weekend and it is good to see that my commentary also brings pleasure to others too. Have a wonderful weekend!
I definitely will. My Rugby League team won the cup for the first time in 45 years! And it’s only 11:20 here in Mexico. Let the great times continue :-)
Glad to see he is looking into which Congressmen are getting kickbacks from USAID. Congressmen in our state are, according to their Sunshine Reports. No wonder they didn't want to bring defunding USAID to the floor for a vote.

Poetry isn't dead. It's only "mostly dead" which means it's a little bit alive. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.
For example:
https://l5news.substack.com/p/on-the-death-of-friends
And there was a time, not long ago
When the dream was young, we would go
Together. The stars would be ours
And all the planets, even Mars.
But time was wasted, getting there.
We trusted others and had no fear
That they would work to open space
Not just for us, but the human race.
We watched and waited, helped and worked.
But in the program, corruption lurked.
Pork and fools, timidness and more,
Not opening space, they were the door.
Years went by and little got done,
And still we waited, children of the Sun.
We knew somehow that real soon
We would go together, dancing on the Moon.
But time was passing and took its toll,
In years, and lives, and parts of our soul.
Our friends are dying, one by one,
No more to ride with us and share the fun.
We still will go, though they will not.
And those that delayed us should be shot,
For stealing the dream and taking away
The friends who were going with us someday.
We won't forget them, we'll press on.
Gerry O'Neill, Alvin Carley, Deke Slayton,
Robert Heinlein, Todd Hawley, and others soon,
We'll fight to build them monuments on the Moon.
We owe them that, and so much more.
We owe ourselves and the future we work for.
We'll make it sooner, we'll run and fly,
Before another friend has got to die.
We're angry and sad, frustrated so much
That their hands that reached could never touch
The stars or planets, nor even the Moon.
We cry to know they died too soon.
We shoulder their burdens and carry on,
More determined, more certain, that when we're gone
Our kids will know about the pain
That our friends and we shared, but not in vain.
We miss them so, we feel their loss.
We want them back, we want to cross
The planets' paths and see the stars
And walk the planets with them, even Mars.
And no one will delay us again.
