The strongest argument I can think of for satire and parody is that despots and authoritarian regimes of all stripes hate it so.

Thanks Scoundrel Time for including “The View From My Bed” 💥 https://scoundreltime.com/the-view-from-my-bed/

“Today’s ‘Scene From a Pandemic’ comes from Rebecca Chace. 'The View from My Bed’ makes leaps from windows sills to graveyards. .’The elephant sprays her back with water from a river while the birds step carefully below her, taking a shower from the droplets bouncing off her sides, picking up bits of grain fallen from her invisible mouth.'” . . . . .

I do not believe in recovery. The past with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.

I have written here that I have recovered. I mean it only in a worldly sense because I do not believe in recovery. The past, with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.
