Notably: Considering the incessant mayhem we seem to be surrounded by, this BBC item was a useful balm: “A yoga class was mistaken for a “ritual mass murder” scene after members of the public saw several people lying on the floor and reported it to police. Five police cars descended on the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire, on Wednesday night. Yoga teacher Millie Laws said she thought reports of her being a “mass murderer” were a “joke at first”. Lincolnshire Police confirmed everyone was safe and well, and the call was made with “good intentions”.”

Death was on my mind, for obvious reasons, those days flying to and from Ishigaki […] I had read recently in the overseas edition of Time, a great favorite in the fleet, that there were “no atheists in foxholes,” but it hadn’t worked that way for me. I concluded that war’s cruelty and randomness, its indifference to human life, and the speed and ease with which it erases existence are not aberrations but speeded-up versions of how it always is. The evidence is there, I went on to reason, to anyone who will look and see the plain facts his senses, including common sense, offer him–and what else is there to trust, fallible though they may be?–that men and women, like everything else in the world, are, in the poet’s words, begotten, born, and die. A young man’s raw desire to live made me avoid worrying about the bleakness of total extinction, but we all knew it; it was in our faces, it was the basis of our shared attitude toward one another and life.”

—From Alvin Kernan’s Crossing the Line (1994).

    So defending democracy is now “virtue signaling”?

    My how far we fallen… we go from being the pole star of democracy, to shills for Russian interests wishing to expand their territories by force.

    That’s MAGA for you.
