Favoriting February 6, 2022: "My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger. I walked among their old haunts, the home ground where they bled; and in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter, ill its oak would sprout in Derry..."—Seamus Heaney

Don in Tampere:

There was quite a brouhaha when the current leader of Labour, Keir Starmer, quoted Thatcher against BoJo. Though he didn't directly praise MT, it did point out how much New Labour looks like Old Tory.

Same rightward shift in the US, I'm afraid, @Don.

Don in Tampere:

Brian, I know what you mean. under Eisenhower . a Republican - top tax rates were around 90%, and now even the progressive Dems don't dare go over 50. Also very clear is the chasm between the US and Europe; even European media called Sanders "radical left" because he advocated for things like free education and universal health care, things that not even conservatives call into question over here.

Best version of this song I've heard. Much better not having all the bg noise with the live versions.

fallen apart since David B

Does seem that way, Lix.

The image of a sea of people
Trampling one another
Manic and driven by some
Fanaticism
Seems to pretty well
capture the current
Zeitgeist

LiXiviated Life:

A band named Antietam
a few minutes ago
Antietam ?
Really??
Maybe the bloodiest battle of the Civil War
and someone thinks
“Hey guys I got an idea for a Cool band name”

Good luck to Mrs. Currents in her medical adventure! May the falafenyl (or whatever meds) shine upon her harmoniously.

Not that it matters
but
this makes me less hopeful
