...can Armageddon be far away?
Seriously, it might be time for a re-read of the Book of Revelations.
After all, we are in the end times. My screen tells me that every day. Only twelve years left to curb greenhouse gas emissions, or the planet's a gonner. As in, there is no future!
That's an inspirational message for our children...
If nothing else, we should be ashamed of ourselves, but we live in the post-shame era. I mean, how else do you explain Boris and Donald?
Prince Andrew should be ashamed of himself... but I guess if he hardly even knew that man, maybe we're being a little harsh...
I've been a news junkie forever, and in my estimation the art of news reportage is in terminal decline. The fear-mongering is overwhelming. Between Xi, Putin, and climate change, we are well and truly fucked.
And even in our quieter moments, there is no escaping the ugliness. Here's a story I first heard on CBC radio in the car, on the evening news program "The World This Weekend." A couple of women get into a scrap over a parking space at a BC shopping mall. One of them uses a racist slur against the other...
Yup. Right here in Canada. In 2019. A racist slur.
We must all hang our heads in shame...
Or not! How about we all call out CBC for making such a petty bullshit story into a national news story. Some people are rude. Some people are racists. Some people are assholes. Some people don't know how to park at the mall.
How is there anything newsworthy about this story?
