Another Ides of March has come and gone and I'm still breathing.
We sit, my friends and I, by the river of Babylon, under a cool love moon and a nice basket brimming with the fruits of our labours. We sing rousing subversive songs and we choose to hope that with a little bit of luck sooner or later we'll see an inimical corpse or two come bobbing by.
We know that hope is just another self-inflicted trap but we also know that: a) at least is our own trap and not one imposed by The Man, b) that we can walk out of it whenever we wish to and c) that us cultivating such outrageous attitudes annoys Elon Musk. That alone makes our day. And night, forsooth!
Easter soon come and with it the spring equinox. Have a lovely one.
Meanwhile have un po' di fairly arbitrary mu' and a timeless all-purpose quote.
