Not at all crackpot, imo. Modern life can feel like a constant struggle against uncaring systems enormously larger than any individual, which very naturally contributes to a sense of powerlessness. Ultimately not a stable basis for a democratic society.

This is the most timid Trump has ever been on the issue of Canada becoming the 51st US state. In the face of a self-assured Canadian PM who knows he has the backing of the entire Canadian people on this issue, Trump has been neutered.

Watched Doctor Who. Quite simply one of the best pieces of television – not even just the best DW – I've seen in about 20 years.

Terrific stuff. "You may have sat with an aged grandparent, listening to them rambling on trying to pick the right moment to interject. Perhaps there was something you needed to persuade them to agree to: a visit to the doctor, a signature on a power of attorney, or Article 5 of the Nato Treaty. "
