Existential Angst.

Image
As we find ourselves facing possible self extinction and existential angst is at it’s highest ever, I can’t help but notice all the eco-warriors and extinction rebels are strangely silent at a time when their voices could have the most powerful arguments. Why is that? I wonder. Fear of a plank planet. One would expect that those most vocal about the human impact on the environment during times when things are safe and predictable would at least be saying: “Ahah! …told you so!” But for the moment the green bloc seem to have disappeared into the ether. Around the world the lack of industry, commuting and consumption is clearing the air. It’s a perfect vindication for the call for less consumption, commerce and industry. Yet the greeny beanies seem to be in hiding. Not a word from Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund or even the troops that routinely disrupt traffic and fill social media with their narratives and rhetoric. But there is silence.

This is an intersectional triumph:  Two filthy rich, privileged women of colour vir...

The President Joe Biden Puppetry

Image
How long will the paper man last? President Joe Biden hardly seems up to the challenge of being an American President. But for now, the President is duty-bound to stagger forward no matter how great the  cost to himself.  The close circle of staffers around him appear to be working around the clock to disguise the evidence of his decline. Which means Joe Biden's  stuck in the Oval Office until something finally snaps - which I fear may not be far off. This isn't a Presidency - this is a hostage situation.
