Open Mic – THURSDAY 25th JUNE 2026
FACT OF THE DAY: The muscles responsible for blinking your eyes (the orbicularis oculi) are the fastest muscles in your body.
POLITICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.”
― Karl Marx
POLITICAL HAIKU OF THE DAY:
The channel lies wide,
Yet every buoy asks, “Safe?”
Tankers wait for proof.
