Musings on the Occasion, Part 2 of n.

[matt_doyle]

Two more quotes by the man himself that resonate with me:

"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted."

and

“Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.”

The first one gives me hope.  The second one gives me a challenge.



In other news, did anyone try to post a couple minutes ago and get something... unusual... instead of the update screen?  Because I did.  And I fear you will never believe me without corroboration.

Same here.

I just clicked to post--got the usual update screen. What did you get instead? I'll take your word for it.

I got a cat macro icon reading "u gonna get raped."

Good Lord, that's bizarre.

I wonder if it was some sort of weird error, or a hacker's work that was quickly corrected, or...?

It's now done it three separate times. I screencapped the last one and just posted the photo.

I like that second one. I've been feeling very aware of...well, for lack of a better word, the potential for being poisonous if you let yourself. And that was a lovely way to put it. MLK was brilliant with words.
