It's a difficult thing to truly master the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, but I think our middle-order batsmen have managed it what with all the collapses they've had in the last 3 years.

Fucking pathetic. Get the Under 12s C-grade side on, can't be any worse than this lot.

CKII.

More specifically, my posessed daughter who killed 3 of my heirs (1 quick, 1 genius) before she even came of age. Now she's 16 and she is a genius impaler with an intrigue score of 32 who hates her elderly heirless father.

And she can't even fucking inherit. My dynasty is going to end with me, I just know it.

Well...at least now I can feel justified, despite our own government and societal leanings, to start using America as the pinnacle of all things racist and sexist again, Yay, Posted Image

You generally get the most liberal of us here; and, or the most open-minded. Rest of the country? Not so much.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

People I know are already at an airport looking to fly back to New Zealand because they don't feel safe being in the States for the post-election fallout (they're of Pakistani heritage).

There's actual fear amongst people because of this election. How fucked up is that?

Haha sorry, I'm pilot testing it here to see if it would work. Might use it on FB to annoy the people I know IRL.

I moved to the UK when the Netherlands became toxic after the murder of Fortuyn and the rise of rightwing populism (though not for that reason). Now Brexit happened. There is no hiding. 'There' always looks bettef until it becomes 'here'.

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.
