The best vacuum cleaner we ever had was fitted with Hepa filters, so good for disposing of all that unwanted dust, which is mostly shed skin.
I imagine Davos has a surfeit of politicians, lobbyists & others wishing to slough off their old skins - just as reptiles & insects do.
#TerribleAnalogies
Perhaps a Trump appointee could referee 🇷🇺 matches by training a gun on their opponents & decreeing they must play without crossing the middle of the board & without any pawns - as previously given to/taken by Russia to use on their front row, in the interest of national security

A new, epic #TerribleAnalogies project in association with WTF films.
Arsonist Studios presents
Brendan Gill nails it at 1h12'50" - if you're hoping for a flashback bit of foresight into 'everything that is wrong with Trumpian America'
The country is at the bottom of a very deep well, everything is veiled in shadow & everyone feels incredibly uneasy about it.
#TerribleAnalogies
The bad live album most previously successful bands wait several decades before releasing. Often at the behest of lawyers, to redefine who gets what size slice of the money.
And to test the water for more brand licensing opportunities for the same old material.
#TerribleAnalogies
Absolutely desperate, isn't he?
In a bid to save his outdated circus from closure, the Chief Clown will take on both the motorcycle Wall of Death & Lion Tamer positions in addition to his normal clowning duties.
Unaccompanied children must bring a waiver form signed by a parent.

The 'TBI' is like that medical process where an oesopheagal cancer is removed & then healthy tissue is removed too, overstretched & sewn back to fill a larger space than before, even if at reduced comfort to omnivorous patients with same cancer risk, who still shit their own bed.
#TerribleAnalogies
The inevitability of all this is rather crushing.
Like your planet has been taken hostage by really dumb terrorists who demand immunity plus free drugs, prostitutes & cable TV for life.

He's probably going to convince Trump to promote Russian snake oil to all the right-wing MAGA health supplement gullible losers who still believe anything he sells to them.
#TerribleAnalogies
Admittedly this is quite a roundabout way of saying that the 'manosphere' (shudder) appears to be full of impotent, over-exerting, try-hard dicks - mostly spouting an un-asked-for load of self-referential old incel wank.

Trump does seem to cling to a #Hotel business model.
Garishly kitsch decor.
Staff on insecure contracts.
Everyone treated as a guest, existing on borrowed time.
Every transaction subject to surcharge.
Discretion over transgressions.
Focus on needs of wealthiest guests above all.
#TerribleAnalogies
Have a strong fear that Keir Starmer spent the weekend re-formatting UK intelligence footage into YouTube Shorts format for Donald Trump to update himself, between rounds of golf, on the shitstorm of impunity Israel currently holds sway over, with US armaments littering the stage.
#TerribleAnalogies
Amid rumours Trump is choosing a plot & making plans for a marble mausoleum, many landlords of historic scottish pubs have offered to donate their lavatory urinal slabs for construction purposes.

Isn't this just an economic inversion of that pithy bit of Covid analysis from B'Orifice Johnson's despicable father that a much-reduced population means there is simply 'more wealth to share amogst far fewer people'
#TerribleAnalogies
Unimaginable now but S Africa laying ICC charges against Israel does provide a way out & chance for post-judgement reconciliation & atonement.
The perpetrator politicians & media bagmen, should relish the drawn out opportunity to "simply defend themselves" again legal attack.
#TerribleAnalogies
Maybe navigation holds the better metaphor, if a more consensual, collegiate, inclusive politics is not a foreseeable outcome.
The boat of governance is constantly 'tacking' left & right -because it is constantly sailing upwind & has even less draught in the water than previously.
#TerribleAnalogies
Unless you include (disproportionately) penalising foreign banks for the financial crisis your banks incubated, hatched, developed & then beheaded like so many brainless chickens, spaying their infected blood all over the yard.
#TerribleAnalogies
Games are always good for analogies.
POTUs thinks he's playing Monopoly, with a 'get out of jail free' card in hand.
Everyone else is playing a high stakes poker tournament & they all have a literal Trump Card/Joker they can play at any time. Potentially, taking turns to do so.
#TerribleAnalogies
Right-wing media backlash against #Superman is richly ironic.
Giving fragile, pure-heated baby into the arms of others to care for, whom attempt to protect his true identity / unquestionable otherness from being exposed before becoming 'accepted' in local culture as a saviour.
#TerribleAnalogies
"You see, we find that austerity works best for guys like us because our intentions, & tbh our 'natural' political inclinations, are so bad anyway. I mean you'd hate my idea of social cohesion or improved public services. The trains would never run on time, that's for sure!"
#TerribleAnalogies
It's fine, possibly laudable, to maintain an ageing car on a tight budget, with gaffer tape, know-how, favours from friends & whispered vows when turning the ignition.
Less so with a bus, an ambulance or a largely ageing population's mixed economy & attendant social cohesion.
#TerribleAnalogies
The question is whether this will be done humanely, under existing ethical protocols, in a carefully controlled manner or perhaps more spontaneously, by security staff, whilst on a violent rampage after beheading one of his keepers.
#TerribleAnalogies
Anyway my musing on an apt analogy for the harsh, impacts on the poorest in US society vs the 'business as usual' incremental gain for the ultra-wealthy of Trump's stinking bill, changed.
As you probably know, The Rich don't do anythng manual.
#TerribleAnalogies
This is blunt & to the point.
Yet the siphoning of of tax dollars from poorer millions to the richest few (exact numbers would help here) will only feel incremental to those benefitting.
Like an additional gear/speed on your next sports car's automatic transmission.

May as well just stick the Statue of Liberty on a ship back to France then.

It is not necessary to love the plough to become bovinely burdened by it.

There's always the lottery.
#TerribleAnalogies
Power is like a pendulum. Those drawn to it can be mesmerised by the motion, pulled this way & that.
Those adjacent, feel it ebbing from or flowing toward them.
Those under it's sway fear that too violent a swing will damage the mechanism and it's progress in measuring their time.
#TerribleAnalogies
Isn't this all a bit akin to ex-PM David 'hug a hoodie' Cameron being told by Stephen 'born-again bigot' Morrissey that he *wasn't allowed* to like The Smiths?
#TerribleAnalogies
Not seen any footage of the weird military parade in Washington. However, I am looking forward to July 4th, when the 'leader of the free world' will be displaying the many thousands of fireworks which he certainly will not be lighting any time soon.
As he likes to keep the peace.
