🇺🇸 ⤑ well have I ever
For crying out loud! 😐 One Thomas Matthew Crooks took it upon himself to try and change the course of history, would indeed have been the latter-day Lee Harvey Oswald I rooted for elsewhere. He went out with, presumably, a noble goal, and an AR-15, and only just missed the ugly mug of the exceptionally obscene human being known as Donald f* Trump.
Ohh my, oh man. 😒 And ohh how certainly am I not the only one thinking the same thing.
What would Donald himself say, if it were the other way.. “Hunting season's open”? would be rather crude even for him, but he dam well mighthunk so. And in earnest, I for one sure hope so!🤞 Because in the face of 2020's madness, there is no having it any other way than wholly inappropriate.
For ask yourself: what future would await humanity with that abrasive dimwit at the helm of the ship of fools? The wise Zapp Brannigan would concur: Donald Trump may die, but that's a sacrifice we're willing to make. Aren't we!
F`f*ck's sake.. It just took.. A slight gust of wind? To be rid of this nasty windbag of a human.. Dammit, dammit, \%krrR\..
2/8/24 addendum: 🙌 KAMALA HARRIS! though. Oh how American she be; but suddenly, a jolt of hope, a glimpse of common sense entering the bipolar gerrymandered and supremely courted clown shit show that is US politics.
20/11/24 addendum: Well the nasty pathetic windbag got the votes 😶 so
what's left to say. “May American democracy rest in peace...”? Madness. “And
unlike his first term there will be no guardrails.”
Maybe let's ask the oblivious AI for some vapid words that
fail us: “And all the hopes that brightened up our past // Lie in the murky
shroud of darkness cast.”
A haiku, you prefer? If it is one (for shrivelled in autumn I can't right now be
bothered to count syllables): “Dreams drowned in numbers, // chaos veils what
once was clear, // hope fades, yet still stirs.” 🦄
🇵🇸 ⤑ history's sinister rhyming
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; the ruthless 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; and may several circles of hell await you. So savagely soiling our history.. For shame.
No words, so utterly TBC.
🌍 ⤑ opining on unread books
Sometimes – that is, on too regular a basis – I buy a book on an impulse, eager to read it right away, and genuinely convinced that, merely by purchasing it, that's what will happen when my future self receives it or picks it up. Be reading it right away, as soon as I have it!
Which happens, but especially in recent years more often than not does not, so many a book in yonder shelf ended up there remaining entirely unread. :l Several of them presumably forever. :( I can't be alone in this behaviour..
At least recently, thanks to the help of more energetically inclined loved ones and relatives, I devised a shelf system promoti.. ehh, no matter – one such book that crosses my mind more often than others lately — leaving this tiny trace of guilt, an echoed whisper of “damn yes, with that one I really ought to have gotten started a miserable decent while ago” — is The Wizard and the Prophet by Charles C. Mann.
The book's about pushing earth's limits, or abiding by them, is the gist I took away from cover and reviews - in anticipation of reading. In which case I think time proved the prophet right, and the road to hell was paved, in part, with good intentions. Is there any precedent of revoking Nobel Prizes? :l In a most honourable manner, to be sure. Just, like, reassess the candidates with 20/20 hindsight.
Why yet another blogpost utterly TBC, it appears to become a habit. No regrets! :|
