It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. And then the bears moved in.
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. And then the bears moved in.
Most stories could be improved with the addition of “And then the bears moved in” to their opening

Global crisis style note:

What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

Inside you there are three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne;
Inside you there are four candles

Isn’t the government meant to do that? Is Chris under the same delusion much of the Tory party are in thinking they still set the agenda?

Taps the sign.
Having an alternative to labour that doesn’t scare the bejesus out of me were they in govt. is to be fully wished for. Other places are showing what happens when complacency and assuming elections are *always* won from the centre ignores what long-term strategic hard right campaigning can achieve.

“There’s no place for…” formulations are always an indicator that:
1. That thing has made quite a nice place for itself in the society/group/org. in question
2. The powers that be have dropped the ball and allowed it to take that place

"Titus is seven. His confines, Gormenghast. Suckled on shadows; weaned, as it were, on webs of ritual: for his ears, echoes, for his eyes, a labyrinth of stone: and yet within his body something other - other than this umbrageous legacy."

Happy birthday, Mervyn Peake.
