Macron to the UK:
"Never cede to the temptation of populism which is the denial of science or a travesty of the facts. Populists sold you a response which is through nationalist withdrawal. Budgetary, immigration, growth problems from 9 years ago. Were they solved by Brexit? No."
They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

The main outcome of social media is the ability for nut jobs of all persuasions to cluster together and validate their insanity with other equally deluded people. Before social media they generally existed in isolation & could be ignored. Now loudness is confused with legitimacy.
I'm wondering if the charity shop will realise I've added Clangers and a Clanger Music Boat to Wings of Love, the 1972, kitsch-classic painting by Stephen Pearson...

Just finished Station Eleven, a book about a killer virus that only spares arts & humanities majors. Millions of survivors but no one knows where electricity comes from or how to make more of it, so they walk around performing Shakespeare and dying.
