"My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are — really and truly — still in existence somewhere. I wouldn't ask very much, just five or ten minutes a year, say, to tell them about their grandchildren, to catch them up on the latest news, to remind them that I love them. There's a part of me — no matter how childish it sounds — that wonders how they are. “Is everything all right?” I want to ask. The last words I found myself saying to my father, at the moment of his death, were “Take care.” Sometimes I dream that I'm talking to my parents, and suddenly — still immersed in the dreamwork — I'm seized by the overpowering realization that they didn't really die, that it's all been some kind of horrible mistake. Why, here they are, alive and well, my father making wry jokes, my mother earnestly advising me to wear a muffler because the weather is chilly. When I wake up I go through an abbreviated process of mourning all over again. Plainly, there's something within me that's ready to believe in life after death. And it's not the least bit interested in whether there's any sober evidence for it. So I don't guffaw at the woman who visits her husband's grave and chats him up every now and then, maybe on the anniversary of his death. It's not hard to understand. And if I have difficulties with the ontological status of who she's talking to, that's all right. That's not what this is about. This is about humans being human." — Carl Sagan

@mjfree If they ask for it, but that won't happen.

Will you ever forgive MAGA?

@DougWahl1 Around the first of the month, he always disappears somewhere for a few days. Treatment for his congestive heart failure. Allegedly.

Is there something more serious going on? Yesterday Donald Trump was rushed off a gold course for a "dental" emergency, and now we're being asked to pray for him? Your Thoughts?

That time Snoop Dogg narrated an episode of Planet Earth

everything circles back to childhood in the end. you spend your entire adulthood dealing with the grief of it and trying to rescue the child you were.

On this day in 1989, #TheCure released a perfect album: "Disintegration".

What makes HAL so unsettling in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is not just that he kills. It is that he does it out of fear. A machine acting from a deeply human panic may be the most disturbing idea in the whole film.

I can’t even describe the whiplash I felt coming out of the theater and thinking “holy shit that fucking rocked” then getting on YouTube the next day to see all the fat reddit virgins shitting and pissing their pants because it “ruined their childhood” or whatever

Carlin told Charlie Rose he'd stopped caring about humanity. Not as a pose — as a genuine philosophical position he'd arrived at after watching every movement he'd ever believed in fail.

Happy international worker's day

Regarded by many as one of the best written, best acted scenes in Sitcom history. PHILIP BAKER HALL delivers an all-time performance as ‘Lt. Bookman’ —The Library Cop, a role that changed this hugely talented Actor’s life & career forever.

Jerry’s first reaction had me losing it 🤣

@justalexoki Even the lord gets hangry.

did Jesus just lowkey crash out or what happened here

Jim Crow is coming back. Heroin Chic is coming back. Saw someone in bell bottoms yesterday. Enough.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

A loving moment with man's best friend.
