I just ran across this quote. There has been a lot of discussion about what "patriotism" is. Clarence Darrow's simple definition is, IMHO, the hallmark of what we MILITANT BLUES should use as our standard... True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else. Clarence Darrow

May this day proceed gently for all. No Doom-scroll messages from District X today. Mostly good grooves and goofy, off-the-wall stuff. For instance, every day, I do the Jalopnik NICE PRICE/NO DICE feature. Here's today's offering, which I "NO DICE'd". $14K? No way. www.jalopnik.com/1999487/1971...

Visualization is a strong force. Good people, both acting in consort and thinking in consort, can create a force that can not be stopped. Woo-woo? Maybe, if you scoff.

Watch this YouTube Short. Just sit back and actually think deeply about the shit humanity has broadcast to the stars. Personally, I don't think we have a lot to worry about other starfarers visiting Planet Earth after seeing one season of CHiPS or Trump's speeches. youtube.com/shorts/PEUb7...
