"Rejoice! The purpose of life is joy. Rejoice at the sky, the sun, the stars, the grass, the trees, animals, people. If this joy is disturbed it means that you’ve made a mistake somewhere. Find your mistake and correct it. Most often this joy is disturbed by money and ambition." — Leo Tolstoy

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT (who left us 19yrs ago today) was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

One of Orwell's nightmares materialised would be this: potential war criminals and arm manufacturers implicated in a genocide allowed to roam and operate freely, while citizens get arrested for opposing a genocide.

BREAKING: Mass arrests under the Terrorism Act in Trafalgar Square, as hundreds defy the ban on Palestine Action. The police are knowingly unlawfully arresting peaceful protestors for holding placards which say: "I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action"

"The secret of being happy consists of knowing how to enjoy yourself—enjoy being at table, in bed; enjoy standing up, sitting down; enjoy the nearest ray of sunshine, the slightest bit of landscape. In other words, love everything." ~ Gustave Flaubert 🎨 Henri Matisse

This isn't Berlin. This isn't Soho. This isn't New York. It's somewhere far more interesting and friendly....it's Tehran. The level of misinformation about the country is staggering. This is what the US is bombing. For Israel.

Our Era of the Savage & Grotesque
Joyce Carol Oates@JoyceCarolOates

this person, speaking incoherently & vaingloriously to a gathering of like-minded MAGA followers, certainly seems to be the genuine article; but when one reads mainstream accounts of the man, as in an article in today's NY Times about T***p & the Iran War, the portrait of T***p has been airbrushed, "normalized." not a ranting ignorant reckless person but an intelligent if erratic person waging war for legitimate reasons. we see it for ourselves: how mainstream media has made T***p possible, even palatable. shame.

"Trump’s one consistent explanation is enjoyment. He now says that the war in Iran is “fun.” Hegseth uses similar terms. This is the pleasure principle. If war feels good, do it. Trump and Hegseth take satisfaction in killing or dominating other people." snyder.substack.com/p/the-pleasure…
