Was TR the original Wolverine?

I actually had a dream last night where I was talking about how much I loved these masks!

In this order

RIP Rev. CT Vivian, another civil rights leader, Freedom Riser, MLK "field general", and Obama Medal of Freedom recipient. I saw his obit on the Newshour last night before heading about John Lewis, who is more widely known and beloved today. I thought this morning that his death was going to be overshadowed by Lewis', and realized I had done that myself by posting only the latter last night. Rest in Power, Rev. and Rep.

I’ve moved to stronger psilocybins and now enchanting sirens follow me wherever I go.

The design of this has absolutely nothing to do with me having Quad ESL57's and a new big living room...

Mike posted it in the cooking thread: Ingredients Vegetable oil cooking spray 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium fennel bulbs, outer layers removed, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes One 15-ounce can cannellini beans One 10-ounce bunch kale, center rib removed, leaves chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 4 Italian sausage links (half spicy and half sweet is my preference) Directions Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a grill pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, onion, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes (plus juices), beans, kale and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the kale has wilted, 25 to 30 minutes. While the stew is cooking, place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a grill. Grill sausages, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Remove the pan from the oven and add the cooked sausage slices. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spoon the stew into bowls and serve.

RIP Congressman John Lewis. This is not a good time to lose the conscience of the Congress. Fuck cancer and fuck 2020! “Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” John Lewis 2018 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/us/john-lewis-dead.amp.html
