The pictures are haiku reductions. I take a bit of text, and break it down into 5 – 7 – 5. “women satanic MAN family Democrat power abortion” was based on a meme at r/religiousfruitcake. “Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it.” ~ soon three-year-olds will know everything long before anybody else ~ I was in a meeting once, where they put comments on post-it notes, and stuck them on a whiteboard. One person said that perfectionism was a part of white supremacy, and should be fought. After the meeting, the perfectionism post-it note fell off the whiteboard. ~ Breaking Points has a video, shot by CNN, of an Emory Professor being knocked to the ground, and arrested. Here is the current headline at CNN.com. ~ “I think I know what this means” … it must be something that i ate is it the differential that I ate? i am much more comfortable with eating same old same old, but someone is telling me to be different dinner or is it the alien that i ate?“What am I doing right now” it depends on what planet. if it was from my home planet of thrunomulax, it would be ok. the thing is, thrumombuburgers leave a pleasant taste in my mouth, which is not there now. so it must have been from another planet, and my intergalactic culinary adventurism is at a low ebb. ever since i ate something from the planet bigmaxottos, i have sworn off food from other planets “Better days are ahead, I’m sure of it “ ~ this haiku reduction was based on a meme posted at r/religiousfruitcake. If you go there today, you will see this: “Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it.” The comment about Tucker Carlson was pasted on by X. ~ Things you do when you are retired: I looked at my precinct card, from the Secretary of State’s office. It said I was in GA05. I then looked at a district map, and it said I was in GA04. I called SOS. They said to call Dekalb County. The county said the maps had not been updated. This did not make sense. Before 2020, I was in GA06. I voted in that insane special election of 2017. Since the district map did not show me in GA06, I thought it had been updated. My neighborhood is in a different district every ten years. The first SOS contact gave me the number to another SOS office. The second SOS person informed that that the districts had been reapportioned by the Legislature last year. It turns out the portions of North Dekalb county have been moved into GA05. This re-reapportionment was done by a court order. This has something to do with a gerrymandering lawsuit. I cannot see how shifting me into GA05 helps me to be represented better. ~ Of Course You Believe In Chrustian Service, I’ve Come Here To Speak Of Serious Things, Making Miss Hulga Joy Hopewell Nervous, The Ugliest Name Any Language Brings, You Know Other People Have Opinions Too, Sparing The Child And Spoiling The Rod, Aren’t You Just Good Country People Boo, Never Can Tell When You’ll Need The Word Of God, From “Good Country People” Flannery O’Connor ~ I asked if we can use another register you get the fu giving me a hard time here doesn’t want to leave because their card is declined because my card did not it did not say insufficient funds what did it say ma’am did my card say insufficient funds or did it say that your system’s not working no I’m serious cuz this isn’t cool is it okay if I check out anyway his is not it did not say insufficient funer what did it [ __ ] say it said no checking account what does that mean it did not say insufficient funds we’re going back to your transphobia ~ great fallacy: the wisdom of old men, they grow careful but do not grow wise, limiters of happiness always win, in bed together for a monday surprise, happiness for intelligent people, made by the dust on a butterfly’s heart, awfully easy to be a weasel, life has a tendency to fall apart ~ laudable, iconoclast, eschew, credo, recalcitrant, mandate ~ laudable mandate, eschew iconoclast rant, calcium credo ~ all my pretty chickens and their dam, turn’d your wit the seamy side, without foul-mouthed man as he is, near the cradle of the fairy queen, green in judgement cold in blood, fortune with him in a single fight, would spy out such a quarrel, hoist with his own petard ~ @RedeemedRags I don’t know who needs to hear this: You’re a good gardener. The plant should’ve tried harder. ~ @abgutman Former spokesperson for families of Israeli hostages in Gaza says they learned that after October 7, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages to prevent a ground offensive. “No doubt that Netanyahu is preventing a deal to release the hostage.” … “In retrospect we found out that Hamas offered on the 9th or 10th of October to release all the civilians in their hands if the IDF won’t enter the Gaza Strip, but the government rejected the offer.” … Some people seem to not remember the tone from the government the days after October 7, which is fully in line with refusing such proposal. Here are two ministers from October as reminders: ~ morphodite gentleman winding his watch, his water works in out of order town, second verse of the tantum ergo crotch, lit the blessed sacrament and knelt down, most pious virgin’s intercessory, but for all their eyes wet with contrition, little mariner over winningly, her eyes dancing in admonition ~ @noam_dworman There’s a lot of talk about university censorship. It’s a good time to remember that the most effective and serious censorship at universities is effected quietly through hiring practices behind the scenes. If you never hear a view in the first place, does it make a sound? Steven Pinker explains… ~ Sesquipedalian can also be used to describe someone or something that overuses big words, like a philosophy professor or a chemistry textbook. If someone gives a sesquipedalian speech, people often assume it was smart, even if they don’t really know what it was about because they can’t understand the words. ~ Sesquipedalianism is a Protestant denomination that worships big words. ~ Still, for the best I nominate pentasyllabic, which means five-syllabled! Not only does it describe all other five-syllabled words, it also describes itself. Such words are called autological (another five-syllabled word). ~ @netanyahu Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו Anti-Semitism on campuses in the United States is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.

Confederate Memorial Day
Today is Confederate Memorial Day in Georgia. It is an ancient question…how to honor the soldiers from the side that lost. They were just as valiant as the Union Soldiers. Considering the shortages of the Confederate Armies, the Rebels may have been just a bit braver.
The issue of Federalism is a defining conflict of the American experience. What powers do we give the Federal Government, and what powers do we cede to the States? The Confederacy was the product of this conflict. The Confederate States were a collection of individual states, with separate armies. This is one reason why the war turned out the way it did.
Slavery was an important cause of this conflict. The “Peculiar institution” was a moral horror. The after effects of slavery affect us today. Any remembrance of the Confederacy should know that. This does not make the men who fought any less brave.
It is tough to see the War Between the States through the modern eye. It was a different time, before many of the modern conveniences that are now considered necessities. Many say that the United States were divided from the start, and the fact the union lasted as long as it did was remarkable. When a conflict becomes us against them, the “causes” become unimportant.
The War was a horror, with no pain medicine. Little could be done for the wounded. It took the south many, many years to recover. This healing continues today. Remembering the sacrifices made by our ancestors helps. This is a repost. Pictures are from the The Library of Congress.
