LoonyTunes3. It is a queer thing when your inner dialogues run along these lines…

Morriña2. In my mother-house are many mansions. Welcome! Come in. Rest your weary feet. Have a drink. Have a ball. I will give you shelter from the many storms raging out there.

OhBumba. Bumba is the best. You can only make small, modest requests and pray for very personal boons. Like Spain getting the cup and so on. Shame you can’t ask for bigger fish, like Infantino’s head on a platter or … well…you know…

SunnySide. Massively late, but it’s the thought wot counts. I hope you had a spiffing Solstice. (I didn’t but I stick to the Mehitabel protocols and carry on regardless.)

PensiveLass1. 79. Bummer. Nowhere to go except 80 and that’s a seriously scary thought. Still, one still breathers and rants and takes space that ought to be dedicated only to the Masters of the Universe. Two fingers to Them.

…perhaps for you, such being the case, there will be an answer. Better yet, one that makes sense.
Iain M. Banks

ChitChat2. You don’t like the word intifada? Oh, you poor mentally unstable thing(s). Here’s some alternatives, then:
Uprising. Insurrection. Rebellion. Mutiny. Insurgence. Revolt. Revolution. Civil disobedience. Agitation.
And, push come to shove: Putsch, Tremors and even Agitation.
Now go ban them all, you brainless bunch of big girl’s blouses. I’m sure the ADL, AIPAC and even the good old Institute will be delighted.
Have a nice day.
PS. The small Squiggle advocacy for free teddy bears is a jolly good idea. Never underestimate the subversive power of teddy bears.

Critical Mass. It could happen, you know. And it wouldn’t necessitate people taking to the streets, only to be arrested as terrorists, courtesy of some newfangled “law” pulled out of the Man’s hat-trick. And what if enough people dreamed the same dream and one day thousands upon thousands upon millions started telling it as it really is and describing the real reality? And they all cancelled their FaceFuckingBook, and Amazon, and Tick-tock, and Google accounts and so on?
Oh, all right…Pigs will fly; but a girl can dream, innit? (Indeed, she must!)

Have a spiffing weekend. And an ispirational quote. Love and subatomic particles. XXX
I could be the catalyst
That sparks the Revolution
I could be an inmate
in a long-term institution.
I could dream to wild extremes
I could do or die
I could yawn and be withdrawn
and watch the world go by.
What a waste.

Haida Birds2. I am entirely with the birdies. On the other hand… Have a butchers at this post:

Of course my (and the birdies’) point of view and Craig’s analysis are not incompatible. After all this kind of corrupt, evil “intelligence” is but another aspect of both stupidity and madness. And yes, possibly he is toast but, Bumba forfend!, it’ll be only to get something worse, like J. D. Vance.
Oh, we are so fucked. Still: resist, bite, love, laugh, take the piss of all the pomposity currently doing the rounds. And stay sane, mi raccomando!
