Update from the house of Plague (Day Fnarg Year 3) 6th of January
It somehow seem longer than a year since the Insurrection...
In honour of the day, some scary articles:
Vox: How does this end?
Where the crisis in American democracy might be headed.
The Atlantic: Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun
January 6 was practice. Donald Trump’s GOP is much better positioned to subvert the next election
Via my flist (kass?? I can't remember, sorry)
The Globe and Mail: The American polity is cracked, and might collapse. Canada must prepare
The U.S. is becoming increasingly ungovernable, and some experts believe it could descend into civil war. What should Canada do then?
Also, BBC video Capitol riot anniversary: What QAnon followers believe now
~
I less Now Panic And Freak Out mode, more The Continuing Saga of a Crumbling Empire, a few articles about the UK:
The Atlantic: How Britain Falls Apart
A road trip through the ancient past and shaky future of the (dis)United Kingdom
Prospect Magazine: The England delusion
Regularly falling to foreign takeovers and perennially divided, England is a nation that never was. No wonder we’re fracturing.
And a video, in case it's all rather confusing. *g* The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained.
As someone on Twitter said - all I want is to live in Precedented Times, please.

BUT. Here is some lovely Good Omens News:
Neil Gaiman: Letting the cat out of the bag
And Doctor Who is doing well.

Mind you, I saw some comment about how the country's all lawless now 'and better watch out in case someone is offended over your garden gnomes!' - I never respond to people like that (life's too short), but I dearly wanted to ask if they had gnomes that were LIKELY to offend people and if so what they depicted... ;)

You could literally just boot a gnome over a garden wall if it was THAT offensive. X)

IKR? Unless there are like, um, gnomes of Hitler or Harold Shipman?
