Excellent advice for interacting in the blogosphere.










People fifty years ago probably couldn't have imagined that this level of ugliness was even humanly possible.


This is so important.  It's basic to one's integrity.


























Always remember the regime is not the country.


Benito Mussolini's end, Milan, 29 April 1945.

For most people, rural life is terrible, especially at a low technological level.  There are good reasons why rural people all over the world are flocking to cities.





Where Israel is concerned, the "international community" is garbage and can go bugger itself.





It's ex-Muslims who understand Islam the best.

A lot of hard truths and inspirations this morning that were worthy of a pause.

I can identify with many of them; in recent years, I just have had to let go of all the bullshit. In a way, I feel... sad... that relationships have ended, but relieved that no longer have to accept the nonsense, the stress that came with them.

Rade: If relationships are causing you more stress than they're worth, then it's generally best to leave them.

Marc: I think everybody can benefit from that one.

Mary: I'm always glad when they're found snag-worthy.

Lady M: I've posted a link or two about Klarna in recent link round-ups. The story is every bit as humiliating for them as it sounds here.

Ricko: Always plenty more where these came from.....
