“This is also no normal midterm election. This is an existential battle between democracy and fascism. Major media try to both sides it, but that’s increasingly impossible. Every possible -ism is rising against democratic compromise and common sense – sexism, racism, fascism, Christianism. All the evils bedeviling the rest of the world have come here to roost because Vladimir Putin invited them in.”
and concludes ominously
“I do know that, around the world, compromise is no longer possible. This world cannot continue half slave and half free. It will be all one thing or all the other.”
“Every possible -ism …”
Everybody’s talking about Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism

I find the ‘Uncharted Territories Newsletter’ makes for an interesting read … the pattern is typically how a country’s geography shapes its history.
🎥 Uncorked, 2020 - ★★★½
It was on Netflix … and just wanted ‘something’. Turns out it was just what I needed. The storyline is recognizable .. with wine and barbecue this time. For all of that - well done.
Trust me, I don’t need to spend time reviewing a bad film … so I don’t.
I have three plans for our country - growth, growth and ( pause for effect ) growth ….
Is this the UK equivalent of #winning ?

Welcome to the new #darkage
Different Times.
If Adam’s grandfather was alive today - I wonder how he would negotiate the virtual office. Remote work. Fractional and Interim people.
As they point out - I don’t need a new browser …
📚 Email Marketing Rules by Chad White features in my next newsletter, the link takes you to where you can buy it. I have used the cover from the original book. It is now on the third edition.
🎥 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 2008 - ★★★★
It took me forever to get around to watching this film and when I finally did … oh my. Tears (mine) at the end - which to me is always a good guide to the quality.
I had a Tivo. I even had a lifetime subscription, but I cycled the box out of the media space years ago … wonder if I can get a refund? 😂
Happy Birthday, Dad. Hope you are loving wherever you are.
🎶 The Intentionally Bad Song That Accidentally Worked.
… Nick Lowe wrote ‘We Love You’ for ‘The Bay City Rollers’!
Did you know that?
9 goals in a single match .. that’s a lot.
6 of them against you is way too many.
That those 6 came from 2 hat tricks is extraordinary.
News to brighten your day /week / month / year … Ian McKellen has signed up to do the Mother Goose panto.
Cool imagery and clever site … but is it just me that thinks the ‘scroll’ is reversed?
You have been warned … a 30 minute video laying out the plan for ‘Starting The Steal’ in the U.S.A.
Meanwhile, spotted in my local ‘minimart’ today … elections coming up in Auckland, New Zealand.
Imagine this happening in the United States.
I know … you can’t can you?
Lovely.
