  • I’m 51, I grew up with media fear mongering of the Cold War, the hole in the ozone layer and AIDS. I don’t think there has ever been a period in my life where there hasn’t been a threat in some form or another, and I sleep like a baby. We aren’t going backwards, it’s just another day at the office.

    If you find yourself worrying about events on the other side of the world then you need to switch off the news and focus on what you can control in your own life. Sure, WW3 could be around the corner, Covid 2 Electric Boogaloo could be more lethal or the icebergs could melt, but we can’t do a goddamn thing about it, so what is worrying going to accomplish?

    Worry about paying the mortgage, making sure your family are fed, and stay safe.



  • I’m stunned that someone like Prigozhin could’ve got to the position he held and thought he was just going to sail off into the sunset after he called off his Moscow Mutiny March. I live in Australia and understand the Russian political machinations about as well as most first graders, but I could’ve told you his time on earth was only going to be slightly longer than Jeffrey Epstein’s once the Belorussian deal was brokered.

    Putin was never going to forgive him for what he did, and the only surprise was that it was a bomb on a plane and not plutonium in his vodka.

    Unfortunately it’s the nature of dictators. When they start to feel under pressure because of the economy etc they point over there and say “that country is the reason we are struggling, we should take their stuff, everything will be better if we do.”

    Unfortunately this the sort of thing the UN should be dealing with, but they can’t because of bureaucracy / corruption / incompetence, take your pick.
