@kurtsh@mastodon.socialFrom the D-Day ceremony in Normandy, France on Jun 6, 2024, marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
A WWII veteran tried to kiss Zelensky’s hand. #Zelensky stopped and hugged him. “No, you saved Europe. You are our hero.”
A leader who has the humanity to respect & revere our veterans. Imagine that.

@saraislet@infosec.exchangeI grew up with a lot of male cousins who loved watching sports. I understand that some people enjoy gambling for emotions, but I don't.
That's why I like books. Instead of gambling for feelings, a book takes my emotions on a journey, rips them to shreds in the middle in an unpredictable way, then grinds my feelings into a fine paste that they feed to their goat, which is sacrificed in a bloody feral ceremony whose carnage further defiles said emotional residue

@cdarwin@c.im“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from,
and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”
“People are devastated and they’re frightened,” Project Citizenship executive director Gail Breslow told WGBH.
“People were plucked out of line. They didn’t cancel the whole ceremony.”

@georgiamuseum@glammr.usOne of our favorite year-end features is the #UniversityOfGeorgia photographers' round-up of their favorite photos of the past year. Even when our museum isn't in it, it's fun to see their great work and to read their thoughts on the combination of art and luck that makes for a great photo.

As an unperfect actor on the stage,
Who with his fear is put beside his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart;
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love's rite,
And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
O'ercharg'd with burthen of mine own love's might.
O! let my looks be then the eloquence

@bencurthoys@mastodon.socialWriting Prompt - True Names have power. But your name is only your True Name if you were ritually given your name in a ceremony - e.g. in a church christening. Filling in registry office forms doesn't count. A steadily growing chunk of the world doesn't have a True Name and cannot be controlled...

@cdarwin@c.imDays after Donald Trump fell asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting,
the president on Thursday again dozed off during a ceremony to mark the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Trump was visibly closing his eyes as Rwandan President Paul Kagame spoke from the podium at the ceremony inside the U.S. Institute of Peace building,
his hands clasped and his head drooping while he sat at a table to the left.

@cdarwin@c.imSixty years ago, the United States abolished immigration restrictions based on nationality alone.
By 1965, such discrimination had become an embarrassment.
In an emotional ceremony by the Statue of Liberty, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that the legislation he was signing “
corrects a cruel and enduring wrong”
and makes Americans “truer to ourselves both as a country and as a people.”

““We each share a border. If something happened to Canada tomorrow, wouldn't I want the United States to defend them? If something happened to us, wouldn't we want Canada to help defend us? So I'm telling you, we need as countries to resolve these issues that we are having right now, today.””

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caMy son is in Ontario on Remembrance Day (our name for Armistice Day in Canada) for the first time and he was shocked it wasn’t a public holiday like it is in B.C.
He was disappointed to be in Ottawa, just a few minutes away from the National War Memorial by metro, but couldn’t attend because he has classes today.
I agree with him. It is very strange that this day, of all days, is not a national day.
So instead he rushed through his class so he could at least get to the small ceremony held on campus.
How sad that there is so little time and space made for it in our largest and most populous province.
Even in our nation’s capital.
