In country after country, far-right populists offer easy solutions to often non-existent crises, fuelling xenophobia, jealousy, rage for votes. Once in power, they (ab)use their position, serve themselves, & keep people angry while solving nothing. Those who have not yet realised this don't want to.

The cats we had when I grew up woukd have never tolerated them. But my friend said his 10+2 don't mind. I rely on this. They're very good and protective of their cats. They wouldn't force them.

My friends have a cat café and asked could I make them for Halloween? It's astonishing what you can find on the Internet these days. YouTube had a video with a pattern.

The hats have arrived. From the other side of the big pond, a first photo. I hope the other cats have bigger heads! 😁😉 #caturday

It's not really, Andrew. In the meantime, there are quite a few pieces from fact-checkers and Latin American politics experts that document her proximity to and cooperation with far-right groups and her long-standing genuine like of Trump. She's not being clever, she's being genuine, I'm afraid.

Both the pandemic as well as this right-wing wave have been teaching us lessons about our fellow humans that I for one could have done without. In the end, it seems we're more instinct-led than we like to believe. We're not rational despite our comparatively sizeable brains.

It is astonishing how both in the US and UK leading cheerleaders for far-right thinking have a biography that is entirely at odds with their views. Thiessen's "mother grew up in Poland and fought as a teenager in the Warsaw Uprising, a military struggle in which his grandfather died." (Wikipedia)

A Matt cartoon - always brilliant.
Two bishops speaking. One says: "We have the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. I must ask God what She thinks of that"

It's puzzling, isn't it? 😉

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?
