The future under Emperor Musk

If anyone needs me to do anything or go anywhere it’ll have to wait. My left arm is currently being used as a pillow by my cat, and according to the rules I can’t move my arm until she decides that she is done with it. I accept my fate, I don’t have the strength to say no to this cute face.

I've consulted my weather map and it's looking like a zillionaire douchebag with a high chance of goosestepping happening in the morning, followed by whacky power grab declarations by narcissistic ballsacks in the afternoon, and then some rain.

A week and a half to go until I can spend a romantic evening being serenaded by the voice of an angel Zhou Shen. Here he’s singing Upwards to the Moon from the soundtrack to Ashes of Love with Sa Dingding. youtu.be/G1KwPqbPP5o?...

Flowers are nice but I’d much rather have a cuddle with my cat😽

I feel like Wile E Coyote. We’ve run off the edge of the cliff and in a moment we will start to plummet. I hate to be so pessimistic but I’m finding it hard to be hopeful. I wish very much to be wrong but I see disturbing parallels with the past.

One of the first actions of the Trump presidency was to deny the existence of trans and non binary people. As expected of those involved means they’ve messed it up. By designating gender at the point of conception they’ve legally designated everyone as female 🤣

Welcome to the Know Rogan experience! Each week, Michael Marshall and Cecil Cicirello - two podcasters with no previous Rogan Experience - will actually listen to Joe Rogan, and explain what he talked about, and where and why he’s wrong. We’ll be fair, but robust. www.knowrogan.com

Thou shalt not declare war on facts just because they always prove you wrong and stupid as fuck.

Zhou Shen is holding a concert on Valentines Day at the O2 I London and I will be there, so happy 😄 I’m looking forward hearing some of my favourite songs live and enjoying the amazing atmosphere. I’m hoping that he will include Big Fish. youtu.be/HMWyN68VpSU?...

The qobyz is a traditional Turkic instrument which can bring to life music old and new. Played here by Olzhas Qurmanbek. youtube.com/shorts/T_Dr0...

The cost of Brexit. The referendum was the campaign promise of a prime minister who thought that it would get him far right votes but wouldn’t actually pass. The leave side campaign was full of lies which the results have shown. I hope the new government will be brave but it’s unlikely.

It is snowing ❄️❄️ here in Chipping Norton and I’m hoping that it won’t get too deep as my road isn’t gritted and my car 🚗 looks like that emoji. I will use the Fire from Dimash to help keep me warm. youtube.com/shorts/UoGNa...

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year. So, well played, Washington Post.

PSA When you are unwell with a cold please wear a mask in public. This is important still even though the worst of Covid has passed. The threat of a flu pandemic is always present, they will happen in the future. Also consider the vulnerable people for whom mild colds are dangerous.
