Everybody’s got a hold on hope
This seems like a good time to step back from the day to day atrocities that is our world, during these dark days. These are going to be some tough times, and it doesn’t look good for the medium term going forward. I was chatting with a friend and we both could remember [...]
Stop lying, mind your manners
Oh my:
Hundreds of furious Chinese parents rampaged through a lead factory yesterday after the authorities blamed pollution from the plant for poisoning more than 600 children.
The protest follows a week of denials and revelations that have grabbed headlines in a country increasingly fearful for its environmental health.

The Night is Long, and Cold as Ice
Are we there yet? Oh. I see.
It has been a sober (metaphorically) time for many, I believe, although as we know, most of those around us have no idea what is going on. And I wonder whether it is even important to tell anyone.
If the system fails to take every [...]
