Over the weekend, I found a tiny pink plastic shoe on the ground near my office. I placed it at eye level, on a wooden post, by the stairs. This morning, on that same post, was this picture.

Je pense quand même que l’extrême-droite aura du mal à percer en Écosse, même si c’est le foutoir complet en ce moment. En Angleterre, par contre, on suit clairement le même schéma que plusieurs autres pays européens. Le cauchemar.

Pareil ; l’impression que les murs se referment un peu partout, une sensation d’étouffement. Ici en GB, on a beau se débarrasser des Tories, le débat public reste au même niveau, beauf, bête, xénophobe, cruel, obtus.

I’m pretty much completely out of the three top ones anyway, so only losing one is sort of a bonus

I think it’s the “driver” bit I find weird. You don’t hear people say “thank you, baker” or “I’ll try to do better, dentist”.

Of the plums thou didst buy to break thy fast And laid in ice until the morrow I presently have made repast, I must confess with sorrow. I beg of thee thy wrath to stay; Forgive me for my boldness. Good were they, and sweet were they, And stung my teeth with coldness.

That would actually work really well with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois.

So much to talk about in this. For me the core thing is the phenomenon of how an older person finds accolades, applause, and admiration in the disinfo-hungry anti-wind / denier groups and instantly loses all principles.

Also: near-zero examination of companies / developers

Once upon a time I had the idea of writing a book called ‘The Ageing Intellectual’s Book Shelf’ with 100 titles (non fiction) bookish people maybe a little older than me would have had. Might slowly do it here, though without the discussion. Here’s the obvious first. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.
