If you're of delicate constitution, don't read this, search for kittens and puppies. Find all the kittens and puppies, because that's what I feel like after this morning's news and realisations. If you can handle the truth, click through. You have been warned, though. Here be kitteh and puppa.

Yeah, I've been watching things and wondering which event is the canary falling off the perch. I'm trying for optimism 'maybe I'm too negative', but, ah, people who are much better at this politics thing than I have been more pessimistic.

I have the deepest fear that this is that ancient Chinese curse, "Interesting times."

[fred_mouse]

My understanding is a) not actually an ancient Chinese curse and b) the rest of it is 'and come to the attention of powerful people'

[crunchysteve]

To my, frankly anarchist left position, that last bit, that's a curse 😂

But I had wondered if the traditional western view was roundeyes getting wrong again.

Oh, very much a curse. Powerful people are dangerous.
