And these people have the temerity to call others 'snowflakes'.

"I will not accept that it's a highly dangerous road" (1988) YouTube video by ITN Archive

I'm reminded of this, for some reason:

It's 'Alice in Wonderland' stuff: It is 'x' because I say so, like the Queen of Hearts. There is no underlying (ahem) logic to this.

Speechbubble by Orbán - "I'm doomed!"

All that remains of the southern Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab.

USA deploys a sledgehammer, but Iran just sends out woodworm for the handle.

Is there not a spray you can get for that?

It's the way the world is subject to his whims, 'brain-farts' and rants. Diplomats and statesmen everywhere must dread every new day.

So older Kindles will be 'desupported'.

I am glad now I didn't buy much for my Kindle. I shall be removing the content and binning them now.

Bezos wants you to make him richer buying another kindle.

It's the wholesale bombing I find so offensive, from Gaza to Lebanon, the West Bank and the deliberate destruction.

So much in this episode..

I loved the irony of: “You know, it's a war crime having a nuclear weapon, allowing a sick country with demented leadership, have a nuclear weapon.”

We may yet get a 'Caesar' moment, with someone amongst his cabal prepared to cut him down; to be the 'saviour' (for entirely selfish reasons) of the people from Trump. But yes, he's exhausted his rhetoric and insulted just about everyone.

I worry he's determined that if he's on his way out, that he'll bring it all down with him. I'm sure he can't bear the thought that the world can carry on without him.

The only 'patriotism' they have is to themselves. Such a sad way for this age to play out in the hands of these 'people'.

So much could be done for everyone, but no...

If this is how it all ends, it will be a sad day - all the evolution, all the millennia of existence...

For this?

In some way, I hope those oracles will be right again.

😕

It's the deckchairs whilst civilisation is pointing at the iceberg.

Trump cannot abide the thought that the world could or can continue without him. He's convinced that the world cannot exist without him.

It will be the ruin of us all.

Sadly, I don't have the latter as a wardrobe option.

Might watch Dr Strangelove this evening...

It's Monday. I wonder which Sunday this prediction is for?

"The last temptation of Christ"

Trump cannot abide the thought that the world could or can continue without him. He's convinced that the world cannot exist without him.

Is it me or are we living in the theatre of the absurd?

I'd say that it seems to be the moral imperative today that the stupider you are, the more of an influencer you should be.

*sigh*

If Farage was on the far side of Moon he still would not be far enough away for my liking.

I've just read "The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan.

I think I might do some quotes from it. Today it seems more relevant than ever.

I've never read any of your work, so this would be a good place to begin.
