Not a headline, but a quote from the review in the NYT , of Jared Kushner's new book, "Breaking History" ... "Reading this book reminded me of watching a cat lick a dog’s eye goo." Talk about slamming !

more - and I'll stop now - The tone is college admissions essay. Typical sentence: “In an environment of maximum pressure, I learned to ignore the noise and distractions and instead to push for results that would improve lives.”

It is horrible. I was warned of this by my fellow herbalists, but didn't fully realise the situation.

Why doesn't the headline read:

^ he should come to the Pumpkin Fest - I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but they have pumpkin boat races - both human powered and motorized. You haven't lived until you see a pumpkin going fast enough to leave a wake ! And this year we are putting a float into the parade ! ( but just historical, not pumpkin-ey) and ps, couldn't get that article to come up... rats - it sounds hilarious !

Don't think of it as stealing. Think of it as liberation, setting earth's beleaguered objects free, granting them a richer existence, a better life. This is a joke, there is no intended, implied connection, between 2022 and 1971.

My mother and my aunt were serious gardeners and "horticulturists" - and both of them kept shovels and boxes in the trunk of the car - in order to be able to "liberate" plants seeen on the side of the road, or at abandoned houses. ! I liberated a bunch of iris from a house near the farm, that were so impacted they hadn't bloomed in years. Turns out they were quite rare pink ones ! .. and two years later a good friend bought that house ... ( gave her back some )

Be afraid. Be very afraid. The Daily Star has the headline:

What is a psycho cyborg? Where can I hide?
Oh, and under the masthead of the Daily Star is the comforting message: Proud to love animals
