What I am looking for from politicians and political figures at this time:

1. Politicians willing to reach out

2. Politicians unwilling to bend the knee

3. Politicians unwilling to stand idly by when people and communities are being targeted and attacked

I happened to know, what very few people in England had been allowed to know, that innocent men were being falsely accused. If I had not been angry about that I should never have written the book.

JB Pritzker seems to me to be providing political leadership at this time:

 “To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom and opportunity and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior,” Pritzker said. “You come for my people, you come through me.”

How Much Dull Routine Of Existence Does A Man Require?

My current answer:

0. waking up

1. early morning session

2. morning session

3. afternoon session

4. evening session

5. night session

6. late night session

7. winding down

8. falling asleep

All sessions are optional, of course, and the early and late sessions are perhaps especially optional.

in terms of labels (maybe):

early morning session: before breakfast

morning session: between breakfast and lunch

afternoon session: between lunch and tea

evening session: between tea and dinner

night session: after dinner

late night session: after nightfall; before and after midnight

in terms of times (maybe):

early morning session: 7:30 - 10:30

morning session: 10:30 - 1:30

afternoon session: 1:30 - 4:30

evening session: 4:30 - 7:30

night session: 7:30 - 10:30

late night session: 10:30 - 1:30
