This world right now is utterly overwhelming. The losses already are staggering, and more are coming and the end is nowhere in sight. We have no leaders right now, only spiteful imbeciles and sycophants.

Images that show what we are missing make the absence so much more acute, so much more painful...

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
