Yesterday, would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. In the past, @InUnfunky pointed to this passage.

In the UK, it is Remembrance Sunday (in 🇨🇦 our honour ceremonies are Monday). All the beautiful lives lost in war; may we somehow, someway stop our current careening to the next world war. ❤️💔

This is part of what I wrote on January 19, 2017:

Let’s be clear: Tomorrow the control of the world’s biggest military and nuclear arsenal fall into the hands of a man manifestly unqualified to manage them. Our foreign policy will be in the control of a man who admires and is flattered by dictators. Our justice system will be in the hands of someone who thinks that torture is not only defensible but desirable.
