El sueño de la razón produce monstruos

Is there a greater monster than being turned into a crowd of mindless automatons? And yet we are literally sleep-walking into that. No one actually watches a zombie film and says ‘I want to be that’ do they?

Rain whispers softly, Waking a world from its sleep, A new day begins.

I have an injury that make it difficult for me to type (hence my infrequent posts)

Really enjoyed the England vs India Test. That last day though…

It’s very, very dark humour. It’s gritty and French (with subtitles)

Anyway, you have the free time as there isn’t any decent cricket on till December now :D

It has a couple of spin offs on Netflix as well I think. Maybe don’t whistle the song it features anytime soon though….

I have no idea where to find Braquo where you are but if you like police detective shows it’s a winner.

Breaking Bad is excellent.

But Braquo or La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) are in a league of their own and often overlooked as they are from Europe.

That’s the one!

I am not sure they qualify as actual haiku; the content is just too harsh perhaps… but the strict form does make it easier for me to write about these things.

Maybe they need a new name; hate-ku, gloom-ku. Or ‘snippets of despair’

Flags wave, banners fly. Screens a glow; heated debate. Hope cold in the dark…

Very interesting. Look forward to seeing some interesting pieces. Curation ahead of charts and metrics…. nice

No. People trying to ‘cheat’ the system is what gets us into a fiat-fuck-heap. No do overs.

Besides, my dog Ziggy is unique; nature and nurture have created him and while I can go through the first again I won’t put him through the second.

Cherish and live your one life, it’s that which gives it savor.

She didn’t seem very good at it… but then perhaps she didn’t have to be (which is pretty damming of society in itself)

But why did she do it all?

Do lies wrapped in enough layers becoming self-sustaining? And is the personal lie subconsciously ignored as it adds to the collective greater ‘good’

Will give it a watch. Not expecting any answers though lol

Brilliant. His book ‘Last Chance to See’ is often overlooked. But a brilliant travelogue in his signature style, similar to this piece.

Missing @natalia (and @nemo)

National divide. Fractured hearts and fierce debates, Faint glow unity…

It doesn’t matter how kind you think you are. German kids are kinder…

(The credit lay elsewhere)

You know what really makes me smile?

Face muscles…

The 90s featured pretty high on the batshit-o-meter as well… at least nothing much happened in the 2010s lol.

Hopefully reformed…. to some extent…

And water bottles are expensive…. beer is cheaper.

I heard the police arrested a water bottle. It was wanted in three different states. Liquid, solid, and gas….
