Nothing to worry

Flickering candle
going to die very soon.
Nothing to worry.

Friday is Skyday


What sunset, said I.
There will be rain tomorrow,

Fuckwits, basically, are fuckwits


A "fuckwit" is a person who has consistently failed to obtain any degree of 'clue'.

To cut it even shorter:

Fuckwits, basically, are fuckwits.





Who would have thought


Seven studies using experimental and naturalistic methods reveal that upper-class individuals behave more unethically than lower-class individuals. In studies 1 and 2, upper-class individuals were more likely to break the law while driving, relative to lower-class individuals. In follow-up laboratory studies, upper-class individuals were more likely to exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies (study 3), take valued goods from others (study 4), lie in a negotiation (study 5), cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize (study 6), and endorse unethical behaviour at work (study 7) than were lower-class individuals. Mediator and moderator data demonstrated that upper-class individuals’ unethical tendencies are accounted for, in part, by their more favourable attitudes toward greed.

Cats on a Hot Tin Roof

. . . well, not really hot the tin roof is,
but Mittens and Momo
are enjoying this and that sunbath
in this unusual mild winter.

Nectarious Night


And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs . . .

Appatreetion

Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care
Who chafes, who frets, or where conspires are.
Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be, until
Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill
shall come against him.


[Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1 /
Third Apparition]
