Book reader, writer. I enjoy poking fun at conspiracy theorists and examining the End of the World. I also enjoy politics & history but really I’m not all crazy (I do like cookies). Not a parody account but not always too serious either. Peace.

Leaving the bunker soon for a much needed vacation, so may not have a lot to say for a while. Will try to check in from The Road now and again if there’s enough Juice. Hopefully be back before the Apocalypse! Take care all.

“We have seen no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts or floods despite endless fear-mongering of the media, politicians and activists.” I wonder what planet these people come from and if they can please go back there. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/c...

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I'm now following waaay too many people to keep up

Nothing to do with the apocalypse, just a bugbear of mine

I reviewed Juice by Tim Winton for #booksky open.substack.com/pub/captaind...

The Flooding Will Come “No Matter What” The complex, contradictory and heartbreaking process of American climate migration is underway. By @abrahm.bsky.social

So it looks like they’ll let anyone in these days open.substack.com/pub/captaind...

Finished Tim Winton’s Juice hours ago and still mulling over the experience. This is an amazing read about a future ravaged by climate change (described vividly horrifying and beautiful at the same time) and those responsible for it. Read this masterpiece. #booksky www.penguin.com.au/books/juice-...

Dusk by Robbie Arnott review – big cat hunters become the hunted in beautiful Tasmanian western

Today I finished the final chapter of Robbie Arnott’s Dusk, after devouring (pardon the pun) most of it the evening before. Beautifully written and very hard to put down. If you see it at your local library it’s so worth your time. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

My wife sent me this one…I wonder what she’s trying to tell me?

I may have accidentally followed too many cat picture accounts.
