I have written this post in advance (on the evening of the US election).

Somebody accurately noted that the final hours of this US election has been like waiting for a biopsy report. If I have posted this, the results are back: and Im very sorry but it is aggressively malignant.

There is now a psychopathic, incompetent, man-baby fascist narcissist with his hands on the economic, military and industrial levers of the world’s largest superpower.

Nothing good will come of this.

Past me does not know what is going on now. But you do.
The hours and days after this election were always going to be sketchy, no matter which side won. Was it close? That would be bad.

Maybe it will be a smooth but forlorn handover of power.
Maybe there is an uprising from the left.
More likely a shades of grey response somewhere in the middle.

A short while back I made a post explaining why Im not talking about climate change any more. Here is that post….

This *might* be the last thing I have to say about climate change.

Trump in power is an accelerant to the collapse of this world as we know it. Some speak of the Great Simplification or the Great Unraveling, and this somewhat poetic wrapping around what is essentially a tsunami of diarrhoea is now set as the running script of our collective future.

It will become obvious and it will be complicated and it will unfold in unexpected and unprecedented ways. I guessed that we had about 50 years until things got really bad.

I now fear it will be much sooner.

I do not know our altitude but the voice over the loudspeaker is yelling: Brace, Brace, Brace!
It is time to assume the position.
It is time to make peace, and dwell on the most important of things.
It is time to make every moment count.
