Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Recebe com simplicidade este presente do acado.

Mereces viver mais um ano.

Desejariam viver sempre é esgotar a borra dos séculos.

Teu pai morreu, teu avô também.

Em ti mesmo muita coisa já expirou, outras espreitam a more.

Mas estás vivo. Ainda uma vez estás vivo, e de copo na mão

esperas amanhecer.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Passagem de Ano.

The Week’s Best Cartoons 1/29

Filosofa's Word

As she always does, TokyoSand has searched high and low to find the week’s best ‘toons for our viewing pleasure.  And as always of late, there is much to inspire the political cartoonists in much the same way that there is much to inspire us bloggers.  This week’s big news, of course, was the announcement that Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring at the end of this term, but there was other news too … Russia’s ominous presence at the Ukrainian border, the Philadelphia bridge collapse, book banning, and of course the continuous partisan bickering in Congress.  So, read on and be sure to go to TokyoSand’s Political Charge blog (link at end of post) to see the rest of the ‘toons!


This felt like a big news week, didn’t it? But it wasn’t all bad. For the first time in way too long, the Democrats have a Supreme Court Justice…

Day 61/67: Five Month GED, Language as a Function of Context, & Functional Adult Decision-making

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     Our language varies based on the context in which that language is used.  Mathematical language always has a very specific meaning and a precise context: css_equilibrium_as_function_of_time_for_the_s26p500_index_aug_2020 the mathematical context. 

     We use words everyday that have different meanings, precise meanings, in different contexts.  An Adult must understand the specific meaning of a given word before making decisions that will affect anyone, including  just themselves, since our decisions never really affect only ourselves, do they?

Goddess Of Mud And Flesh

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

It was a cold and shivering night on the last day of December in Anno Domini 1980. A young and frail woman in tattered clothes stood at the edge of the water of the Kumortuli Bathing Ghat on the banks of the River Hooghly in India’s Calcutta city. Close to her tormented bosom, she held tightly her three-day-old newborn baby. Ragini had taken the cruel decision of leaving her infant girl on the riverbank at the mercy of the Mother Goddess Ganges. She believed that a tortured and bonded prostitute should never raise a girl child. She thought that it was perhaps better for her baby to die in the river than grow up on the streets of Asia’s largest red-light district.

Located on the eastern banks of the River Hooghly in North Calcutta, between Sovabazar and Beadon Street, with hundreds of multi-storey brothels housing over fifty thousand Nepali, Assamese…

Texas Newspaper Slams GOP AG Paxton After He Urges Mike Lindell Followers to ‘Harass’ Judges

A prominent Texas newspaper’s editorial board published a scathing article on Friday slamming the southwestern state’s Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, after he urged followers of My Pillow founder Mike Lindell to “harass” judges that had ruled against him.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals—the top court for criminal cases in the state—issued an 8 to 1 opinion on December 15, finding that Paxton could not unilaterally prosecute election cases. Paxton, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, has been a key promoter of baseless claims that the 2020 election was rife with widespread voter fraud.

In response to the GOP-dominated court’s ruling, Paxton appeared on Lindell TV and right-wing strategist Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast earlier this month and urged viewers and listeners to pressure the court’s conservative justices. “Call them out by name,” Paxton told Lindell TV on January 17. “I mean, you can look them up. There’s eight of them that voted the wrong way. Call them, send mail, send email…”
