Watch this, it's astonishing.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Aus zoologisch informierter Perspektive handelt es hier ja um eine Art Opfergang-Inszenierung: Da es Pinguine nur auf der Südhalbkugel gibt, hat Trump diesen vorher offenbar entführen lassen. Nun bringt er ihn mit nach Grönland, wo wiederum Eisbären leben, die beim 1 gegen 1 klar im Vorteil sind.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
