Not hearing nations' leaders invoking an "international rules based order".

There are three superpowers that have no need of IRBO.

Every other nation is either a vassal state to a superpower or dependent on IRBO.

The silence about IRBO tells me they know that Trump is running amok and that hiding in the briar patch is the safest strategy.

How did Watership Down turn out?

Hare or Rabbit is a prominent trickster in many African legends. He can be surprisingly predatory, like when Leopard discovers Rabbit is eating her babies. This appears in African-American legends too, where Br'er Rabbit is a predator like his nemesis Br'er Fox.

I always love the #African Brer Rabbit stories:

Beatrix Potter's famous tales are rooted in stories told by enslaved Africans – but she was very quiet about their origins

Beatrix Potter’s silence concerning her sources means the Brer Rabbit folktales that helped create her stories are passed over without acknowledgement or celebration.

Something controversial for a Friday morning, my review of the #Disney film that they like to pretend doesn't exist (despite having rides based on it at Disney parks).
