All will be well and all will be well and all kinds of things will be well.
I love my compost tumbler. It's basically like having your own tombola but all of the prizes are sweet, sweet soil cultures.

RFK jr managed to kill 0.04% of the Samoan population in 2019. Apply that to the USA and the figure would be 135,000 people. Cool cool. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Sa...

I note that esteemed economist Nouriel Roubini described crypto as the "mother of all bubbles". I'm like sure but wait until you hear about fossil fuels...

I can see where this is going... the new party is going to be called the Reformed Conservative Party. Articles will be breathless about a "seismic shift in British politics" but it'll just be the Tories long-held tradition of harbouring fascists, something it's done since fascism was invented.

Tory MP Richard Holden doing a classic not-so-crypto fascism here:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What he says it's about: "Public Health"
What it's actually about: Othering minority communities.

And I can whiff the faint but unmistakable smell of eugenics here too.

If economists are the priests of Late Period Capitalistism then surely lawyers live in a place formerly occupied by wizards? Possession contracts (9/10ths of the law apparently) are just these weird binding spells that enforce ownership because "It is known from the ancient texts". Sure bbz.

We should expect the assasination of Brian Thompson to expand the surveillance state globaly, (because disaster capitalism). In the first instance it's unlikely to change any company's policy but it probably will increase corporation inflicted violence.

Ok so I have lots of thoughts about umbrellas so this is an umbrellas thread:

1) I love umbrellas, they're properly amazing. They're basically really low stress camping.☂️

Ok here's the deal. As of now, the right wing-grifters don't even exist. Convicted rapist and 47th President of the US? Don't know who that is, sorry. Anti-vax worm-brain health man? Never heard of him. Weird Twitter rocket guy? Sounds made up. #dontSayTheirNames

Watching Industry S3 - it's great but I dunno if I should be hoping for the graph to go up or down. Not sure how real investment bankers know how to trade without incidental music.

I've been hearing about some guy called Eon Smusk or something like that, but I'll be honest it all sounds like a windup. Reasonably sure no such person exists.
