In that we live in the time during which we know we will die, it is perhaps unsurprising that it seems the prime time of the world.

One author on the Medieval world memorably described how ‘the angels hung low’ then.

By the 19th century in Europe, the sky seems to have been cleared.

So Hitler’s title as Führer was formally approved in Weimar. (Cf. The Dictators, Richard Overy, p. 32)

While I suppose most read for distraction or escape from daily life, its chores and routines, their selves, and any undesirable lurking ennui – and then there is the character and content of the read – every sentence can be read with a different significance, use, depending on the reasons, the purposes, of reading.

As of today, it is 1531 more days of the final Trump presidency. His prior presidency invaded and pervaded many lives, hourly even, 24/7, during his four years as President. I refuse to have him with his vulgarity and offensive colleagues poison the coning 36,744 hours of my life.

The word “news” is the plural of “new”, as I recall first so used beginning in the 1600s. With that, one could think of “old” and “olds”. In regards to Trump one good think of “sickening” and “sickenings”.
