Huck and Tom represent two viable models of the American Character. They exist side by side in every American and every American action. America is, and always has been, undecided about whether it will be the United States of Tom or the United States of Huck. The United States of Tom looks at misery and says: Hey, I didn't do it. It looks at inequity and says: All my life I have busted my butt to get where I am, so don't come crying to me. Tom likes kings, codified nobil- ity, unquestioned privilege. Huck likes people, fair play, spreading the truck around.
Whereas Tom knows, Huck wonders. Whereas Huck hopes, Tom presumes. Whereas Huck cares, Tom denies. These two parts of the American Psyche have been at war since the beginning of the nation, and come to think of it, these two parts of the World Psyche have been at war since the beginning of the world, and the hope of the nation and of the world is to embrace the Huck part and send the Tom part back up the river, where it belongs
I keep thinking about this quote from George Saunders on the tension between two disparate views of the USA, as seen through Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn

donβt forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, youβre free
Always keep in mind that Donald Trump does not care about the lives of Iranian protestors or US troops. They are all just "suckers" in his game of personal glory.
You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe whatβs happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropicβs AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
My mum died in September, she was solitary and strange but very sweet. Susan Clayden. TIA x
If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

Post Danae Hudlow @danae hudlow Follow 6 I need men to understand: at some point in every conservative gal's life, she will have the experience of sitting and listening to the men around her --men who are her friends -- discuss, in a detached way, whether or not her kind of people (women) should have the right to vote. 9:45 PM Feb 18, 2026494.8K Views

Such an amazing film
Seems fair
Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19
He clumsily read his speech from the page without hardly looking up and told everyone in the room to follow the US's lead or suck it. He accused Europe of managed decline by not being racist enough, and if it doesn't fall in line then America won't be there for it. Not sure how reassuring that is.
The Internet, our home, is beginning to look like an immense pile of filth.

Good to see the BBC acknowledge it was too slow to move from 'contested accounts' to reporting that differentiated true statements - confirmed by the evidence - from false accounts from the government. Well done to @rafaelbehr.bsky.social

Unused iron-on from 1984. I'm afraid to try and transfer it, so it's just art for now
it's so sad that we lost M.I.A. and Grimes in the same mine collapse
I think Condorman is my first cinema memory, although I vaguely remember seeing Herbie Goes Bananas which seems to have come out in 1980.
