November 23rd is the date when a court explicitly decriminalized polyamory in Canada in 2011. Canadians started Polyamory Day accordingly, and it spread worldwide.
12:05 a.m. Full moon directly overhead sending big light into skylight tubes. Traffic noise horrendous! I lasted mere seconds outside.
Excerpt from The Wing of Madness: the life and work of R.D. Laing by Daniel Burston (Harvard University Press, 1996).
Harry Stack Sullivan founded the Willian Alanson White Memorial Lectures.
William Alanson White was a neurologist and psychiatrist.
In "Later Life and Advocacy" in The Canadian Encyclopedia, it says...
Chisholm became involved in many peace organizations and wrote for pacifist magazines. Atomic destruction and germ warfare particularly concerned him, and he opposed the idea of Canada acquiring nuclear arms. In 1957, he took part in a meeting of international scientists in Pugwash, Nova Scotia, to discuss the dangers of nuclear arms. This was the first in a series of conferences that would eventually win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995 (see: Pugwash Wins Nobel Prize; Nobel Prizes and Canada). In 1961, Chisholm helped found the Canadian Peace Research Institute. To prevent nuclear war, he advocated for a global government, a global police force and a global legal system.
Turning to the tale of the Pugwash Nobel Peace prize, there's mention of Cyrus Eaton. Now, 55 years after driving up & down Euclid Avenue (to & from work at the Bobbie Brooks factory) and seeing a marquee that read "They thought Cyrus Eaton was a bull shipper" and having no idea then or until now who he was, I can now die with at least that bit of curtiosity saited.
Brock was influenced by Herbert Marcuse

Quoting remarks Trump made to Access Hollywood in 2005, which leaked ahead of the 2016 election, its plaque read: "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything."
A second statue of Trump, featuring an identical plaque, appeared in Philadelphia's Maja Park on Wednesday, also close to a preexisting bronze sculpture of a naked woman. According to Philly Voice, it was swiftly removed by local authorities.
Below excerpted from another article in Newsweek.
Last week, two mysterious statues appeared in Washington D.C., one featuring a giant pile of feces on Nancy Pelosi's desk with the caption: "This memorial honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, to loot, urinate and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election."
The second statue was a tiki torch titled "The Donald J Trump Enduring Flame," an apparent reference to the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" march, which featured neo-Nazis. Trump later sparked controversy for saying there were "very fine people on both sides," though he also said there were "very bad people" at the far-right rally.
