I have been feeling in need of a little magic these days. Have you? There are wondrous pavilions everywhere, but we do not always see them.

From The Yellow Crane Pavilion
The wondrous is everywhere, but we do not always see it. A magical tale of China's Yellow Crane Pavilion.

I woke up angry today.
ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams is a liar, who is bad at lying.
“Asked if the ICE officers chased Lopez, Williams said: ‘Chased? I wouldn’t say that. They followed him until he crashed.’”
Wouldn’t say that? How about: ICE was committing crime (their standard procedure), someone died, they’re the killers. Your people killed a school teacher, Williams.
Have the day you deserve, you apologist scum.

Driver fleeing ICE traffic stop crashes, kills teacher near Georgia school
Authorities in Georgia say a Guatemalan driver fleeing a Georgia traffic stop by federal immigration officers crashed into another vehicle, killing a teacher who was headed to work. Oscar Vasquez Lopez, the 38-year-old driver accused of causing the Monday crash just outside Savannah, remained jailed Tuesday on vehicular homicide and other charges.

Emotionally brutal poem. Don't read it if you are feeling fragile today.

The United States is on the cusp of becoming a pariah state,
ruled by a spoiled man-child who is increasingly and openly mocked for his obvious failings.
It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes to give others the courage to act.

Mark Carney Took the Stand the Rest of the World Must Now Take
Disentangling Canada from the United States is a mammoth undertaking. But Carney clearly means business.

I went out to the garage this evening, turned on the lights, and saw a bat flying in circles around the Land Rover.
This of course is now going to be in my origin story, of a very slow, noisy, super-hero who fights crime using a mixture of hope, iron oxide and the ability to easily find a good supply of after-market parts.
(The bat was ok. I turned off the lights, opened the roller door, and he sped off, no doubt in search of a lights-behind-the-grill Series 1)

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.
