“He told the story of an Eastern king who asked his wisest philosophers to provide for him a sentence that would be not just true in each and every situation, but always worth hearing too. “They presented him the words,” Lincoln said, “‘And this, too, shall pass away.’ How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride!—how consoling in the depths of affliction! ‘And this, too, shall pass away.”

JOHN STEPPLING

A Barking Where There Are No Dogs: It feels impossible to write about anything other than the massive Corona virus story, the massive repression of democracy and the massive usurpation of power by both state and federal agencies, both in the U.S. and across the world. The fact that every country on earth save Belarus, apparently, bought into this narrative suggests the globalization of propaganda and of paranoia.
