Having begun this less-faux blog, I shan't refrain from utilising it the way blogs were meant to: to voice a heartfelt opinion entirely uncalled for and heard by hardly anyone.
Has anyone picked up on the eerie silence coming from Rafah? Reportedly 21.000 children are missing there. For decades on end in the Levant, history has been rhyming as it does, and it came to a macabre halt. Pure evil, brutal madness; grim relentless eradication of life, of thousands upon thousands of lives in one fell swoop. Another holocaust, what else to call this unholy vengeance?
Perpetrated by 🇮🇱 Jews no less, can't make this sh*t up — and the whole world looking the other way. Well done, Bibi and Gallant. If only there were time for The Hague.. Hitch a ride with Putin. For shame.
No words, so utterly TBC.
11/5/25 update: And how utterly continued it was.. Such cruelty and contempt, so savagely soiling our history. 😔 One upping Nazi Germany in ruthlessness – not even a century has passed, for Christ's sake. 🎵 Shalom chaverim I was taught singing in elementary school, not knowing any better. Fuck off, chaverim. To 🇲🇬 Madagascar and beyond.
..when there is 🙌 thermonuclear holocaust. A good long while ago already, the internet, one Alex Wellerstein to be more precise, gave us this Nukemap. Far too lazy to simulate a proper global nuclear holocaust, a rather pointless endeavour anyway, I focussed on my former hometown. In the absence of a proper image lightbox of sorts, you could right-click and "open image in new tab" or some such to see it in more detail. Click on the image to go simulate your own nuclear festivities. 🍄
Dropped a gentle 100 kt on it ("common in US & UK arsenal" it says), and was quite content, once again, to have moved from said hometown to a place apparently snugly out of reach even of light blast damage. 👌 The same cannot be said of most all of my loved ones. 😔 That not said then, apparently they'd only have to keep away from (about to be bursting) windows after a flash might have piqued their curiosity. I'll make sure to pass on the good advice come Christmas dinner. 🙂 Unless I forget, or for some reason an actual nuclear holocaust unfolds before then. Just imagine the surreal spectacle.. 😳 But then it'd probably start in Brussels, what with the EU, and NATO maybe, and all, maybe. Even farther away from me chosen final resting place in any case.
For a tangent within a tangent.. 🫠 Once ago, BXL was many people's belle, but nowadays, to me, an outsider to be sure, it has lost most of at least its superficial appeal. 😔 Overall not that belle anymore, quoi. Where to begin.. If just taking a wrong turn after getting off the train brings the smell of urine, and perhaps some petty theft, or perhaps religiously vibed violence.. Surely a capital lost most of its appeal?
Never mind if it harbours international Islamic terrorism. Regardless, nuclear fission
technology would suffice to finally unite merge melt the silly, no
kidding 17 mayors (or so, at last count), each running their shabby part of
our 🇧🇪 poubelle capital, into a state of.. peaceful quiet. See even nuclear
holocaust wouldn't be as depressing as it seems! 😌 Glass half full till the end.
Tired.. Too short the nights' rest, lately. Must be because of the supermoon.. I for one will probably miss the nuclear flash when it'd ever come, but just might happen to have found a state of peaceful, unnuclear quiet meself already. 🥁
