Having been exposed to a thing called "news" (what our American friends call "noose") for sixtysomething years, I've developed a strong preference for plain, comfortable uneventfulness.

This is one of my favourites from the Eastern front:

Everything sounds more plausible on the shortwave.

Soothing cat vid.
I will play that on occasion when I feel tense.

I liked your Antiphon poems, Jane!
We fray into the future, rarely wrought
Save in the tapestries of afterthought.

Hi again, Seth - a whole bunch of thanks!

And I'm glad you liked the cat video too.
