I wrote the other day how Brexit was imploding the Tories. It turns out that the Tory collapse is picking up speed, all to the benefit of UK Labour.
It seems of late that there are two lefts, and meanwhile many comentariatariates try to cut things left/center/right. I got to thinking about it after following Krugman's link to a Sanders story in the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/14/us/politics/bernie-sanders-2020-candi...

Well here's the show the ticket got us into. Here's Ian Welsh:
Key passage:
Wheels within wheels...inside and out. Balance is key, but we seem to have lost our sense and are wobbling out of control...a spinning top losing momentum. At the same time the natural cycle swings into play showing the colors of spring and the quick flush of green. It is as though the world is bipolar...oh yeah, it is. So this week I've been thinking about the difficulty of balancing the joy and beauty of the natural cycle with the horror of human activity. The Assange arrest hit me harder than I thought. I really expected something like this, but none the less feel stunned. Another disappointment was "Pompous" declaring Iran's army to be a terrorist organization as Bibi (the real terrorist along with the family Saud) wins another term. The speed of our climate collapse is accelerating faster than models predict. So weeks like these I try to spend time outside with the trees, despite the pollen blast. The chestnuts we planted have leafed out. We've been harvesting lettuce and eating fresh salad most days. The blueberries have a strong bloom. All is not doom and disaster...we each have to find our balance on the cycle of life.




I personally like the heavy sarcasm of this Splinter article.
This is a diary I never really wanted to write, because the thoughts in it are almost suicidally depressing.
In H. Beam Piper's Paratime Patrol stories, he posits three outcomes for the human race. The one in which his stories are set is a low-probability lucky accident in which paratime travel is discovered just in time to salvage humanity from one of the other two fates.
…by fact, speculation, disinformation, psyop lies, and investigative journalism. Let’s start with his hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in London.
