Do you feel the world is stepping off a cliff edge?

Maybe you think it's better, instead of swimming against the tide, just to stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away.

Or just keep trying to find answers via social media.

Whatever you do, it's hard to avoid seeming to step on a banana skin.
"Stupida sfortuna", stencil by Fulminacci, Sanremo
I'm carrying on with my plans. I'm in Milan this weekend partly to see how my sick relative is doing (OK, as it happens; could be better, could be a lot worse) and also to vote in a national referendum. Call me old-fashioned but I continue to find importance in democracy.
And I wonder if the whacky artists above aren't actually more grounded than our oh-so-competent, peace-prize deserving leaders. But, of course, it's the artists who are mad.
Next week I will be going to Rome, which I haven't visited in 20 years. You can't see Rome in a week so, as ever in a place with more history and culture per square metre than possibly anywhere else, I have planned an itinerary of preferred sights. But I hope to post some worthwhile items of trans interest when I'm back.
Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris's death was announced yesterday. He actually died 20 years ago ... but Death was too scared to tell him.
The passing of this star should see the near infinite Chuck Norris jokes (see above) fading away.
Moe importantly, I hope there might be a reduction in machismo after the passing of its most obvious icon.

The artists might be mad, but probably not as dangerous as the idiots that rule our world at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI definitely won't miss Chuck Norris, who was a right wing hero. Rest in peace? Rot in purgatory seems more appropriate.
I hope you have a wonderful time in the Eternal City.
