A quotation from Cicero

That, Senators, is what a favour from gangsters amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone; then they boast that they have spared him!
 
[Quod est aliud, patres conscripti, beneficium latronum, nisi ut commemorare possint iis se dedisse vitam, quibus non ademerint?]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 2, ch. 3 / sec. 5 (3.3; 3.5) (44-10-24 BC) [tr. Grant (1960)]

Interested in some #lowbar interaction with another #fediverse user like me?

Come say #hello!

Life goal: live so that your murder doesn't spur ethical and moral debates about whether it was a good thing or not. #LowBar

@Devonkiwi highlight of the show so far.

So last night I was cutting a live music show with 8 cameras. This is not my usual gig, but something I had done a few times in the past with fewer cameras. It was pretty stressful and I thought I did a barely adequate job given my experience level. At least nothing went horribly wrong.

At the end, my client tells me it's the best they’ve ever seen for their event. /shrug

Readers under 45 probably aren't super nostalgic for the the mid-1900's. Black women couldn't legally vote until 1965. Women couldn't have their own bank accounts until 1976. Employers could legally fire women for being pregnant until 1978.

No decent human being misses that.
