"I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible: Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.

We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich, and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much, and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost."

Now waiting for Shadow Cat to finish cuddling so I can resume cleaning Snooty’s (hedgie) wheel and continue my day.

Pfizer is now manufacturing and selling #Lucira rapid #COVID19 & flu tests! These molecular tests are more accurate than antigen #COVID tests and catch infection earlier. (There was a manufacture/sale pause while Pfizer bought Lucira.)

lucirabypfizer.com/why-lucira says: buy them at online & in-person retailers and pharmacies. I see one listing on Amazon for USD$50 each.

The site for health professionals lucirabypfizer.com/hcp/orderin mentions several wholesale distributors but I can't easily find pricing.

Tuberville is a danger to our country.

How can Tuberville’s military promotion holds finally end? ‘No reason to be in a hurry,’ he says - al.com al.com/news/2023/11/how-can-tu

someone pointed out the sad truth, of course, a while back...

while everyone can take a moment to acknowledge his passing -- and most who do will probably raise a glass and feel some mix of satisfaction/relief/etc -- the simple fact is the man escaped basically all judgement and punishment.

he was never held accountable or made to pay for all of the crimes, suffering, and death on his hands.

people from our own lifetime like G. W. Bush are going to go the same way... they'll be ignored and/or have their history revised and never see the inside of a prison. they'll clink glasses with celebrities and millionaires until they peacefully shuffle off, eventually getting one or two half-hearted paragraphs in school text books which offer not one tenth of the condemnation and scorn they deserve.

you can feel simultaneously pleased/relieved and yet also disgusted/disheartened by this fact today... and everyday.

Anthony Bourdain on Henry Kissinger:

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

Scumbag Henry Kissinger finally died... good riddance, traitor.

I'm glad Jimmy Carter has outlived Henry Kissinger. Rest in piss, war criminal
