Happy Thursday Digital Neighbors! Hello PHAM! Hey there Refugees! Good Mornin ADD Irregulars???? What's up Triggeratti!!!!! Greetings, salutations and whatever other greetings you need, desire or propose to all the rest of you wanderers on Locals and the affectations that I like to use as the intros to my morning posts.

Morning quotes on humor - it is one of the selling points of Locals. It used to be the Right that was uptight and devoid of humor. Does the perception of perceived power make one lose their sense of humor? In my lifetime, it has flip-flopped from the Right being the uptight bores to the Left being the perpetually offended. Some quotes a sense of humor, laughter and the like seems fitting for your morning. One of the reminders on my office door - take your work seriously, but not yourself. Happy Thursdays my funny friends and thank you Content Creators - @DaveRubin @BridgetPhetasy @KonstantinKisin @ffoster for making me laugh more often than not, especially when the news cycle has often been so tiresome.

Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.

Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV.
