	(About fame) Living for likes, shares and follows is a form of validation. The question is whether it is also the source of our self esteem. If it is, we’re screwed. And, culturally, it seems as if it’s become more and more our shared value. ... Meringue is no longer a sweet and pretty topping but the body itself. ~Charles Perez

Came across this bon mot while looking for today's affirmation.

Over the weekend, Vladimir Putin scored eight goals during a hockey game. It happened just after he had the goalie executed.

This "satirical" piece was in our local paper. Hit it out of the park.

More reasons to keep Trump out of prison

I enjoyed former MAD Magazine editor John Ficarra’s commentary “A satirist’s case for keeping Trump out of prison,” July 30.

<SNIP>

I think Ficarra made several good points; however, I think he missed the most important reason for not putting Trump in jail: It would crash the economy.

If Trump goes to jail, millions of people whose income depends on Trump staying afloat financially will be unemployed. This includes journalists, pundits, comedians (e.g. Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, Stephen Colbert, SNL actors), Trump cartoonists, Trump evangelists, tax evasion auditors, corrupt accountants, defense and prosecuting attorneys, Trump business employees, undocumented hotel and golf course workers, Lincoln Project writers, Michael Cohen, Rudy Giuliani, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Roger Stone, Trump family members, Trump fundraisers, Truth Social programmers, therapists, psychiatrists, faith healers, astrologists, fortune tellers, bail bondsman, money launderers, fence operators, informers, conspiracy theorists, creators of fake news, lies and propaganda, Q-Anon wannabes, AI disinformation robots, etc.

Treason is the only crime actually spelled out in the Constitution. The founding fathers wanted to insure people weren’t tried for treason on a “whim” of the opposition.
