Biden Claps Back at Florida’s Black AP Studies Block

“It’s important to say from the White House for the entire country to hear: History matters. History matters and Black history matters. I can’t just choose to learn what we want to know. We learn what we should know. We have to learn everything, the good, the bad, the truth, and who we are as a nation. That’s what great nations do,” said Biden.

What’s Up With Dilbert And His Creator?

Filosofa's Word

I’m sure that unless you’ve been living in a cave in the dessert for the past week or so, you’ve heard of the Dilbert/Scott Adams issue.  Dilbert is no more, and apparently Mr. Adams’ sources of income are now dried up.  Ah well … he brought it on himself with his racist rhetoric, so I have zero empathy for him.  I was curious about a few things, however, such as the Rasmussen poll cited by Adams.  Charles Blow’s latest column clarifies the issue fairly well, I think.  Take a look …


The ‘Dilbert’ Cartoonist and the Durability of White-Flight Thinking

Charles M. Blow

28 February 2023

When Scott Adams, the Donald Trump-revering creator of the “Dilbert” cartoon strip, last week quoted stats from the right-leaning polling operation Rasmussen Reports to justify a racist rant in which he admonished white people to “just get the hell away” from Black people, whom…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A estupidez humana é algo realmente tocante. Ora, mesmo conhecendo o ser humano, suas virtudes, falha de caráter e tantas outras situações inerentes a ele, se você não é capaz de compreender que todos nós somos livres, que não somos ou fazemos parte da propriedade de ninguém, e que o intuito maior de se construir uma relação não é prender uma pessoa aos nossos pés, sabe ” acorrentar mesmo?” Pois bem, por que há tanta gente com pensamento retrógrado? Esse tipo de ideia é inútil. Na prática, é você viver preso a ilusão. Você compreende? É você, não a pessoa que deseja prender. Somos nós que criamos prisões internas e, não sabemos sair delas na maioria das vezes. Veja, para uma pessoa ter o desejo de estar ao nosso lado, essa concepção de amor, de enxergar qualidades e uma série de situações, isso parte dela, não de você. Eu, você…

Emotional Hygiene – Silent Songs of Sonsnow

“Modern science doesn’t include a deep understanding of the workings of mind and emotions, but some scientists are showing an interest in finding out. We need to cultivate emotional hygiene — learning how to reduce anger, anxiety and fear. The key is to cultivate peace of mind.” His Holiness the 14th Dalai lama

Done is Undone

Kaushal Kishore

He’s going to his work 
that he sees
someone bleeding,
or hears someone’s screams,
but he is in a hurry,
he keeps his mouth shut,
turns away his eyes and ears,
and writes a note
on the doors of his heart,
“Not seen, not heard”…

Done is undone,
and the heart remains unhurt,
indifferent,
intact,
and he moves forward
as a progressive citizen
of the country…

But he doesn’t forget
as a part of civil society,
to join a candle march
in the evening,
raising slogans against
the administration and culprits,
to wash away the stains, if any
of the soul,
like taking a dip
in the holy Ganges…

It helps him
to have a sound sleep,
to wake up fresh
the next morning,
to repeat the same routine,
if his eyes and ears
commit the same sin…

–Kaushal Kishore

काम / Work

Kaushal Kishore

बातें करने से कुछ नहीं होता,
अगर काम दिखे ही नहीं,
आजकल लोग सुनते कम हैं,
देखते ज्यादा हैं…

🍁🍁🍁

There is no point in talking,
if the work is not visible,
nowadays people
listen less and see more…
