Well, here in Lancashire, it is snowing!
Here's hoping for a white christmas and wishing everyone a holiday season that maybe goes some way toward repairing the horror of 2020.
God Jul, och gott nytt år

Would quarantine have been better in the 80s?
Sometimes I think that the internet is only really making this lockdown worse. Rather than learning a new language, getting the garden sorted or finishing all those niggling DIY jobs around the house - most of my non-working day is spent swiping my mobile screen or surfing the internet for mind-numbing content. Worse still, 99% of the social media posts are clannish negativity, conspiracy theories or plain and simple dumbassery.
Might place my self in internet-exile as well as quarantine and see what I can do to actually improve myself as a person while we collectively wait withe baited breath for all those to blow over.

We are close to achieving maximum stupid...
Hand washing instructions are posted everywhere now in an effort to combat COVID-19.
The ones here at work contain the following valuable instruction:
"Wash each wrist with the opposite hand...."
Glad you told me that. That's saved me a lot of time trying to wash it with the same hand!
Fuck...

Dead Zone: The Reality TV version
So, it seems that populist governments around the globe have discovered a formula for convincing the gullible underclass to vote against their own interests and in favour of draconian, quasi-fascist billionaire "men of the people".
Social media should be a privilege earned by those who have shown they can use it responsibly. As it stands, it is touted as a right. Foisted upon all and sundry, even those who ignorantly share moronic, hate-filled memes, fraudulent chain messages, fake news and bigoted fascist propaganda.
The cretins outnumber every other group by a factor of at least a thousand to one and they have been sold the lie that foreigners are responsible for their unhappiness. They've been sold this lie by those who have - who own the means of production and the media - in the name of protecting the status quo. Worse, they seek to undo every progressive step that society has taken toward integration, environmental sustainability and welfare since the industrial revolution.
The solution? Fight the government and call out the fake news. Protest. Punch a nazi. Do whatever necessary to halt their march into power.
