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I could yawn and be withdrawn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!

You can know that everything around you points to the fact that your struggle for justice, maybe your entire life, has been futile. But this doesn’t invalidate what you have done.

Amazing Grace3. Grace. Wonderful thing. Getting scarcer by the day but, amazingly, still around. Now and then one comes across it. Whoopy.

Ranting Emiliano. Emiliano is back, once more onto the breach, me old muckers. Here he can be seen instructing a defecting offspring of the Cyclopic Slug Beast of Screech, recently gone over to the ranks of the Free-floating Intergalactic Anarchist Siblinghood. The lesson for the day is: Question!
Questioning is dissenting. Dissension is rebellion. Rebellion is good. Nay, indispensable, otherwise we’re totally fucked.
Rebellion…should be our natural state.

Bubbly Chubby. No comment. Not necessary, useful or even expedient. “They” will keep on doing whatever They want, whenever They like and in any manner, no matter how vile and hideous They fancy. And nobody else is going to say Boo! because everybody else is a bunch of abject big girl’s blouses with as much spine and guts as a newly-split amoeba -except, to some extent, don Pedrito (Sanchez), who might very well pay dearly for his dissenting chutzpah. Bumba, gimme strength…

Guernica Ghost. This is, allegedly, for the original poor old Guernica of yore but by extension for today’s every poor bugger harassed, oppressed, vexed, battered, kidnapped, taken over, confiscated, forcibly democratized, colonized, assassinated, often mass-massacred and even genocided to Kingdom Come by the Evil System -no longer an Empire but a mere cog in the Macchina Diabolica of this Latter Days Crapitalist Grand Guignol. May the tutelary Dryad protect us all. Bumba knows we are in great need of protection, since we seem unable to defend ourselves from bullies, ghosties, long tentacled thingies and things that go Trump in the Dark Night of the Soul (to paraphrase my compadre don Ricardo).
