Dylan’s father was going blind when DT wrote this poem. Some suggest that dying of the light is a reference to darkness and being blind.
For me it’s always urged not to capitulate in the face of evil and wrongdoing.
If you see something wrong, take ethical action. Do something. Do not ignore it.
In the context of social media I often get the comment … “Why are you so negative?”
Typically from friends who don’t like me challenging some statement they’ve made that I consider wrong. (I’ll unfriend if you insist the world is only 5000 years old, by the way. 😀 )
I’m surprised as this book seems a bit simplistic compared with others in the Christie archive.
It begins at a Hallowe’en party.
A girl at the party claims to have witnessed a murder, which at the time she was too young to realize was such.
Though disbelieved by those around her, the girl herself is drowned in an apple-bobbing bucket and Poirot must solve a two-pronged mystery: who killed the girl, and what if anything did she witness? …
Don’t let her age fool you. Maud may be nearly ninety, but if you cross her, this elderly lady is more sinister than sweet.
I’ve never cheered a homicidal lady more. 😀
En route to a luxury vacation in South Africa, Maud recalls half a dozen earlier times when her generally untroubled life was threatened by someone who ended up coming to grief. …
A guidebook to growing old without a single regret for victims who deserved just what they got.
Using physical actions (head, eye, and body movements, gestures, speech) as inputs for interactive digital media systems, with perceived 3D physical space as the canvas for video, audio, and hapticoutputs.
The technology is not there yet.
I’d say they need 8k screens and 120 frames / second before it’s really immersive. No latency.
Finally, the headset won’t be required.
Everyone will want to use spatial computing in addition to phone and laptop.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. Tom Cruise has to use gloves in Minority Report. Those won’t be needed.

With a Mind to Kill is the 3rd Bond book by Anthony Horowitz — the only author approved by Ian Fleming’s estate to continue the 007 series.
It is M’s funeral. One man is missing from the graveside: the traitor who pulled the trigger and who is now in custody, accused of M’s murder – James Bond.
Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power. Bond is smuggled into the lion’s den – but whose orders is he following, and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives?
Horowitz is a good writer and the plot is as absurd as Fleming.
In this one the master spy is resigned to retire — IF he survives this one final assignment.
When Ted Lasso first emerged as a sleeper hit in the summer of 2020, it was the gentle hug audiences needed in the middle of pandemic lockdown, a familiar fish-out-of-water tale about a nice man infecting the cynical world around him with his niceness. …
