I can't say I knew very much about Benjamin Franklin, but based on what I now know, one of my favourite quotes has to retire from my vernacular.
"A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines" was said by a man who owned and traded slaves as though it was nothing, worked for colonialists internationally and helped colonise America in the first instance.
Nice quote. Dead to me now. #BenjaminFranklin
Nb. I am clearly a learner when it comes to the founding fathers of the USA. All I know is, none of it plays well retrospectively. Hell the entire concept of the USA doesn't "play well" now.
@rwba @Pathfinder It took a Perma-ban after 14 years on Twitter but he finally got rid of me.
I wish everyone would be here already. It will be good when Meta make threads available on Mastodon, except I dread to think what they'll smash on the way in the door.
