what that article doesn't explain for some unknown reason is the offensive tweet is a screenshot from a beloved early '80s hrishikesh mukherjee romantic comedy.

You have an alternative, then? Cuz I can't imagine anything more futile than voting for a party that does nothing and will do nothing, except for the benefit of their donors and at the expense of everyone else on the planet.

On a side-note, maybe I'm too cynical, but I bet they give you Chelsea Clinton as a nominee before they give you Feet Of ClayOC.

unveiling ceremonies never end in Litomyšl!
today, it's the unveiling ceremony of the Czech EU-presidency.
unfortunately, Litomyšl is currently veiled in rain, and thus the (eventual) film footage of the unveiling ceremony not gonna be as shinny as planned.

Plan? I have some hope that the Peoples' Party will get their shit together. Armed insurrection is always an option. So is emigrating. (My Social Security kicks in in two years and eleventy-some days, and I feel like I'm stuck here till then.)

There's a youtube channel that might be meaningful to you; she takes the position that electoral politics is such a cesspool that it's more productive to focus on direct action. She doesn't spend a lot of time talking about the forms action could take, but once in awhile she talks about neighborhood gardening, rebuilding communities and working within city government to improve conditions at the local level.

So many people resigned that Boris can't form a functioning government but he's refusing to leave. We don't have a written constitution so there's no formal process to deal with end stage madmen. It's insane.
