Open Mic TUESDAY 16th JUNE 2026
FACT OF THE DAY: The human body contains enough DNA to stretch from the Sun to Pluto and back roughly 17 times.
POLITICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY: “A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.”
― Aristotle
POLITICAL HAIKU OF THE DAY:
Ceasefire ink dries on maps scarred by flame,
Tankers turn toward home again—
Ashes learned no names.
