  • Watching The Man in the High castle hits very different now.
    People over here are seeing what is going on in the USA but
    they might still vote for Reform and then we are done. The rich will make sure that they control everything including
    every citizen.
    Palantir, Musk, Bezos,Thiel and all the other monsters will plunder
    what is left of the worlds resources and retreat to their many bunkers
    or Mars. They think AI will fix the earth and according to them millions will die in the process of them remaking the world into a Technocratic feudal system.And for that they want all the data till they know more
    about you than you do yourself.

    At least that’s what they have in their project 2025 and beyond as a plan.
    They want only the “right” people to survive. It makes horrifying reading, they think of empathy and kindness as big
    massive weakness,they want the sick,disabled ,lgbtq and others to die as thy are seen as a burden on their system. Sorry for the rant but I am old and these people scare me.


















  • I like the story of Prometheus. He is one of the few Gods who cared at all. I dislike any involving Zeus and his shenanigans with women, mostly because of a book of Greek myths I was given when I was 6. In it, it tells of him kidnapping various women and they ending up with his offspring and his wife’s ire.All illustrated with graphic classical paintings.

    I was terrified for months that if I as much as looked at a bull or swan wrong he could come and get me. I had nightmares, and then the nightmares got the stories more mixed up in my head. It got better eventually but left me with a very personal dislike of Zeus.

    We could not afford to keep him. We got so attached to him and his littermates.His mum had them secretly under a hedge and tuned up with them at the back door. They were pretty feral to start with. But not Kevin, he just marched in behind his mum,found the food and sofa and behaved as if he was born to it. It took us weeks to tame the others, but eventually they were ready to be homed. They are spaced across all our neighbours and Kevin often waits on the garden wall for his mum to come out. I miss them, but the money paid for his mum to be fixed, vaccinated and has a better life now. Sometimes love means letting them go.
