Time to pack up and leave this ruined place. I shall shut this feed in a bit. Heading to bluesky here. Can't explain why but K D Lang singing Leonard Cohen in Sydney sorta fits.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Wrong side of history @JeffBezos

Aapparently, less-than-the-lettuce is downunder, handing out advice to Australian Tories. Meanwhile, in the land where even her friends abandoned her, the triumph of the vegetable that outlasted her is commemorated in blue.
