Not really a meme, I know, but I thought this was amazing and worth sharing and I didn't know where else to share it on Lemmy.

Ursula LeGuin was an incredible person and, although she did live a long life, her death was still a huge loss.

The US president reminds me of the kings of old - more so than anybody actually called a king. The kind of fawning exaltation their current and former leaders receive is way, way over the top. 'Presidents Day' like there's a pantheon that needs worshipping: pathetic. The fear/respect people close-to treat them with reminds me of the servile peons under some all-powerful autocrat, and not for no reason. The power these people have is way, way, way over the top, power that - rather than helping disillusion an entire population brainwashed by the lie of superiority - wages revenge wars and swings dicks.
