Written after seeing some disturbing images of REDACTED with REDACTED. I don’t know if they were part of the REDACTED files or if they were real but sadly, it seems likely.

I love these. Reminded me of the distinction between revolution and evolution, politics just goes around and around, while evolution goes forward, not seeing any political evolution.

Thanks Paul 🙏
I guess with politics, humans like to think they have control whereas with evolution we, generally, accept that we have little control.

Great job, Shaun. You black out the words, but our mind starts filling in the blanks.
This is powerful. Do we really not care, or grinding our teeth?

I was watching some commentary last night that seemed to indicate that the kind of behaviour in the REDACTED files has become normalised for most people. I’m starting to wonder if people are upset more because they wish it was them that was able to get away with these things….?

Shaun, “No one cares anymore” really unsettles me — the restraint of the erasure makes the silence feel louder than accusation. This one stays with me.
