An Orwell?

Good Place hits better on a 2nd watch. I think I had preconceptions the first time.

I put a roast in the crockpot this morning, and when I saw all the juices at the bottom of the pot, I whipped up a rue and made a thick gravy. Then I shredded the roast and added the gravy. That was delicious and sludge like. I'm a simple man.

But, Bot, But Akshully,

Langston Hughes reminds me of Dudley Randall

Musing on roses and revolutions,

I saw night close down on the earth like a great dark wing,

and the lighted cities were like tapers in the night,

and I heard the lamentations of a million hearts

regretting life and crying for the grave,

and I saw the Negro lying in the swamp with his face

blown off,

and the northern cities with his manhood maligned

and felt the writhing of his viscera like that of a hare hunted down or the bear at bay,

and I saw men working and taking joy in their work

and embracing the hard eyed whore with joyless excitement

and lying with wives and virgins in impotence

And as I groped in darkness

and felt the pain of million,

gradually, like day driving night across the continent,

I saw dawn upon them like the sun a vision

of a time when all men walk proudly through the earth

and the bombs and missiles lie at the bottom of the ocean

like the bones of dinosaurs buried under the shale of eras,

and men strive with each other not for power or the accumulation of paper

but in joy create for others the house, the poem, the game

of athletic beauty.

Then washed in the brightness of this vision,

I saw how in its radiance would grow and be nourished

and suddenly

burst into terrible and splendid bloom

the blood-red flower of revolution…-

Saw this on Reddit earlier. They libs are calling it Russian propaganda. Then they say the demographics are off - so someone comes and shows the demographics are good - they run with the "demographics are bad" anyway.

Those comments, OMG great laugh.

Now there's a song title.

Parliament is conscripting only the fittest 18 year old men to serve the dire needs of the country.

Just saw a headline that said Biden is going to keep needling Trump to throw him off his game.

Such tired kayfabe, I grow weary.

That's definitely code for something.

The rain is hitting the window at like a 13/16 time. It's funky.
