When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on"
When the Good Place said "Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.”
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also 'Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

I recall at least one of you guys having worked with livestock animals. Why are cows so damn indestructible while horses keel over and die if mercury is in retrograde or a dog barked in Kazakhstan?
gettingvetted here.
Let me tell you a story about how livestock animals work.
In the beginning, God created the horse. God looked at the horse and saw that it was beautiful and strong. “However,” God said, “it breaks too easily.”
Then God created the cow. God looked at the cow and saw that it was more durable than the horse, and tasted good to boot. “However,” God said, “it poops too much.”
Then God created the goat. God looked at the goat and saw that it was perfect.
God looked around and saw that he still had some spare bits of fluff on his work table, but no brains to put into it. So then God created the sheep.
Now let me tell you what my equine surgery professor said on the first day of class.
“Horses are only interested in two things: homicide, and suicide.”
And that’s all you need to know about horses.

How does one visualize history or chart time? Is it a line, moving forever outward in one direction? Or could it be a tetris-like grid, as proposed by the “Polish System”, which gained widespread popularity during the 19th century… https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/visualizing-history-the-polish-system

wear a mask.
I got lazy and had pretty much quit wearing masks, and now I am paying the price. Don't be like me.

Perhaps she'd have children who enjoy British animated series, and who often watch them at home while she crafts. Then you'd have Tipper Tapper Pippa-Tatter Peppa-Banter Pitter-Patter Papa Titter.
It occurs to me on this day that if Al Gore’s wife had instead married Jake Tapper she’d be Tipper Tapper.
And that if Al Gore’s wife instead married Jake Tapper, the sound of that lady running throughout the house would be the Tipper Tapper Pitter-Patter.
And if the sound of the aforementioned lady running through the house made her father chuckle softly to himself then that sound would be the Tipper Tapper Pitter-Patter Papa Titter.
And finally, if this theoretical lady decided to make a handcrafted knotted lace pattern in the shape of Kate Middleton’s sister, and the sound of her doing so made her father chuckle softly to himself, then - my God, what have I done - it would be the Tipper Tapper Pippa-Tatter Pitter-Patter Papa Titter.
