Just a happy-go-lucky scamp trying to cope with the insanity and inanity of this world. Politics: far-centrist. Rejoiner. Democratic civic nationalist.

Carlo Cipolla claimed - rightly in my opinion - that stupidity was independent of any other characteristic.

You can actually be highly educated and yet very stupid.
Law 1: People consistently underestimate the number of stupid individuals. • Law 2: A person's likelihood of being stupid is not related to their other characteristics. • Law 3 (The Golden Law): A stupid person harms others or a group without gaining anything, and possibly even losing something • Law 4: People who are not stupid underestimate the potential for harm from stupid individuals and forget that interacting with them is always detrimental. • Law 5: Stupid people are the most dangerous kind of people, more so than bandits.

Trump is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

So I have Herself in hospital after a stroke and last night the dogs, when I took them out for their evening pee, decided to catch me off balance as I was turning because they had seen a dog.

>50kg of pure muscle had me on my back. Winded and painfully bruised (or cracked).

Happy days!

The actions of the USA's ICE, its racial profiling and intimidation, put me in mind of the UK's sus laws and the SPG in the 1980s.

I wish I'd had the wit to write that. Oliver Kornetzke on Trump.

His substack contains a few interesting items.
oliverkornetzke.substack.com
Oliver Kornetzke on Donald Trump and the USA. "Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul—all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader."

Ring just partnered with a shady AI company that is using your security cameras to help ICE spy and go after you and your neighbors.

No, I’m not kidding. Your security cameras are snitching on you.
