panic for sale...

Meanwhile, in supply-rattled England, panic is up for sale at many competitive rates...
Even a trade option is available...
British humour at its best in this thread, with a rather unsettling, serious undercurrent... https://t.co/aolfM3KpNz

I’ve got a market stall for it. I’m a panic merchant 😁👍

— Gary Black 💙 (@GaryBlack1970) September 27, 2021

Oh god you and me both. You can have a crate of panic with a side order of chronic pain thrown in. 2 for the price of 1 - it’s your lucky day 📦 x

Anyway the outcome was she held it in with Herculean effort until we reached a turn off that sent us to some kind of industrial estate near Windsor where we jumped out of the mini and she defecated all over the tarmac with tangible relief shining in her eyes. So, a happy ending.

CNN adapting Samuel Beckett would be fun.

KEY RACE ALERT: sources on the ground say we are expecting Godot within the hour.

Right now a vaccine against watching the election would be good🤣🤣

The way Trump fanatics behave seems to me to be very similar to how a cult operates.

Trump is in deep financial trouble,he owes one bank 340 million dollars,his hotels are tanking,he is in legal trouble,the only way out is to remain president,I mean who is going to take the president to court.

As we near the moment of knowing that this nightmare will be over, I’m not experiencing the giddy excitement I expected to feel. I feel more the shock of knowing how close we came to the demise of our democracy, and an almost tearful gratitude that we survived.

They are a product of 25 years of exposure to media that exalts “real” people being terrible to each other (reality/talk shows), massive disinformation & fear-mongering of conservative “news” and the steady erosion of educational/structural supports. Nature aided by nurture.

— KDOrganizer (@KDOgGetPOd) November 6, 2020

Yep!

- Outrageous gerrymandering

- Voter suppression

- Closing polling booths

- making it harder for people to access mail voting ballots

- Closing post offices & post boxes

- Spreading misleading info & outright lies (like right now)

Oh & that whole Russia thing

Joe Biden Addresses The People of The United States of America. He’s received more votes than any president in history—and flipped Arizona and Georgia blue. Georgia has only gone blue 3 times since 1964. #PresidentElect didn’t just win—he’s making history. pic.twitter.com/GHYCh6zWPq

It's hilarious how many hardcore Trump supporters are turning on Fox News and blaming them for the current situation

Happy to take your word re: CNN.

I watched 2 hours of ABC News24 today & I was ready to throw a brick through the tv &/or open a vein. Jeremy Fernández & a woman whose name I don’t know. So much bothsides-ism. Grim.

a chat with Emily D?...

While not strictly labelled 'philosopher', it can't be denied that Emily Dickenson's poetry has a strong undercurrent of philosophy. So I would choose Emily Dickenson. I can imagine she would be a little reticent, but, as I am a little socially shy too, I think we could connect.
