I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am not a fan of great wealth or those who possess it. Some may have earned their wealth honestly, others (the majority) were born into it or obtained it in ways that were less than honest. Either way … I don’t understand how anyone can justify having a million dollars or more when that money could provide food for the hungry, build homes for the homeless. If that line of thinking makes me a socialist, then so be it. This week is the annual ‘World Economic Forum’ held in Davos, Switzerland, where the wealthiest people on the planet get together to … who knows what? I’ve yet to find anything meaningful that ever came out of this ‘forum’ other than the excess carbon put into the atmosphere by all the private jets going to and from Davos. This year’s theme is particularly hypocritical, and Robert Reich shares his thoughts on the topic …

I.
do lado de fora, a vida
em estado de holograma
mergulho impossível!

ainda assim,

…Gov. Greg Abbott received a $6 million campaign contribution last month, which his campaign is calling the “largest single donation in Texas history.”
The check came from Jeff Yass, a national Republican megadonor whose priority issues include school vouchers. Abbott spent 2023 unsuccessfully pushing for a voucher program and is now targeting state House Republicans in the March primary who thwarted his agenda…

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, at least 2,500 scholars have cut academic ties with Russia and moved abroad, according to an investigation by Novaya Gazeta Europe…

Excuse the weak pun, but I really do think this is a good idea. With libraries facing funding cuts, and rural communities having to travel to towns or cities to use libraries, this retired schoolteacher in Italy decided to create his own mobile library to serve the area he lives in.
Today’s song by the Four Tops is a one I play every year on this day to celebrate the birthday of our dear friend, David, aka Lord David Michael Prosser. David likely wouldn’t appreciate me telling you exactly how old he is today, but I do delight in telling that he is 139 days older than I am, and I take great delight in reminding him of that fact every year on this date!!! David loves this song, and when I played it a few years ago, I declared it would be the song of the day on January 18th from then on!

हर कहानी नहीं पहुंचती
अपने अंजाम तक;
कुछ को छोड़ दिया जाता है
जान बूझकर अधूरा,
ताकि बनी रहे आगे
उसमें रुचि और प्रत्याशा…
✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
Not every story
reaches its conclusion;
some are deliberately
left incomplete,
leaving room for lingering
interest and anticipation…
