89,000 words into a 100,000 word manuscript and I've just hit the climax.
(Signs there's a climax happening: the Queen is glowing violet and shrivelling, Nyarlathotep has gone to the mattresses, and Bob has just stumbled across a mass human sacrifice in progress in Buckingham Palace …)
"If your convictions are worth anything, you should be ready to stand up for them and, if necessary, make some sacrifices. And if you're not ready, then you have no convictions at all - you just think you do....By returning, I fulfilled my promise to my voters. After all, there must eventually be those in Russia who do not lie to them."

They call for more data on the "death Toll", money and more (killer) roads, but never for a radical infrastructure redesign. No data on "roadkill" of native animals either.

"The report called for the council to write to the NSW government demanding the urgent development of a transition plan that would see native timber harvesting in state-owned forests move towards a sustainable plantation-based industry."
"The logs are getting smaller and smaller, the number of logs coming out of state forests is less and less every year and biodiversity is just going out the window."
"The debate comes as Victoria and Western Australia are set to ban logging in native forests in 2024."
"The motion was defeated as councillors spoke of their support for the timber industry"
When Trump makes death threats, it should not intimidate anybody; it should make US righteously angry. Love is sacrifice. That little man hates the USA. 🇺🇸
“We don't take an oath to a king or a queen or to a tyrant or a dictator.
And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.
We don't take an oath to an individual.
We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we're willing to die to protect it.
Each of us commits our very lives to protect and defend that document,
regardless of personal price,
and we are not easily intimidated.”

The Thargelia was an annual #festival for #Apollo & Artemis. While various rituals were performed, one involved choosing one (or two) very #ugly men, feeding them & either beating them & throwing them from a cliff, or casting them out of the city.
The 2 sacrifices were given necklaces of black figs & white figs - representing the #sacrifice from the men and women of Athens respectively.
Today, tell your kids about Ruby Bridges—the first Black child at all-white public elementary school in South.
Today Ms. Bridges turns 69.
She's younger than both my parents. And more importantly, she's a reminder of the courage of our youth, of the ever present reality of systemic racism, and of the need to lead with anti-racism to counter this hate.
Let us look to leaders like Ms. Bridges, and build that more perfect union for all people in this country—grounded in true Justice for all
Oh boy, they have an extensive catalogue, I guess this will take ma a while. Nontheless, I will listen to all of their studio albums in chronological order, starting with their 1979 self titled debut #Saxon .
