I have been corrected by hubby. Apparently it's only shepherd's pie if it's made with lamb or mutton. If beef, it's cottage pie, he says.

Well, ours is fava bean (härkäpapu). What's that then? Cozy pie? Bean pie doesn't sound right at all.

The most effective nonviolent protest to keep ICE facilities closed is to organize vehicle convoys that continuously loop around the facility, effectively clogging the local arterial road. This action is entirely legal as long as participants adhere to traffic laws. Additionally, pedestrians can lawfully cross back and forth at designated crosswalks. If detainees cannot be effectively brought in and out of the facility, its functionality becomes compromised. #foodforthought #uspol #orpol #pdx #ice

Times change, and so must businesses.

The makers of VHS thought they won against Beta. We all know how that panned out ...

Everyone knows that when a cucumber seed is planted in fertile soil, a cucumber plant grows which bears cucumbers as fruit that we can eat.

We also know that when marigold seeds are planted, we can enjoy beautiful flowers.

We also know that when a squirrel plants a walnut it grows into a beautifully large tree.

We would all be very confused if this were not the case.

So - why is it when certain people invest their life's energy into rage farming, that anyone is surprised when 'they reap what they sew' ...

The old proverb holds true in all cases.

#FoodForThought #Debussy I was listening to Debussy preludes with the door open and, just at the right moment, I was struck by the unique smells rain brings out of the ground, and a sense of peace, too.

The right moment? Prelude 4 "Sounds and perfumes dance in the evening air" (approx translation) was just about to start :-)

I often forget what Debussy did for music, what he made possible. Not today :-)

> Richard Reeves: Why working-class men are facing the sharpest decline https://bigthink.com/series/full-interview/working-class-men/

Video, but you can read the transcript.

FTA: "...a huge problem with this whole debate is the unwillingness or inability to imagine overlapping distributions, to say that there can be a difference on average between males and females on whatever we're talking about."

"But look what the Church has done to Jesus during the last two thousand years. What they have made of Him. How they have turned every word He spoke for their own vile ends. Jesus would be framed and in jail if he was living today."
- Carson McCullers (The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, 1940)

"Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice."

- Edward W. Said (Orientalism)

"It’s not growth itself that matters – what matters is how income is distributed, and the extent to which it is invested in public services. And past a certain point, more GDP isn’t necessary for improving human welfare at all."

"Colonialists respect nothing. They would take creatures royal in their primitive beauty, serene in their ignorance, and noble in their qaked simplicity, and would twist them out of shape, distort their minds, contaminate them with their own ideologies and abstractions."

"What was atrocious was the fact that, like every other building in the new towns, they were dumped almost at random; the leakage of escaping gas scented the so-called gas-house districts, and not surprisingly these districts frequently became among the most degraded sections of the city. Towering above the town, polluting its air, the gas tanks symbolized the dominance of 'practical' interests over life-needs."

Lewis Mumford, 'The City in History: Its Origins, Its Transformations, and Its Prospects'

"Nuts and bolts do not constitute advancement,
Heart and help constitute true advancement.

To preserve life we need a warm environment."
