Remember when we were told the stock market would crash, unemployment and inflation would rise, our allies wouldn’t be taking us seriously anymore, the war in Ukraine would still be going, and the ceasefire in Israel would collapse if Kamala Harris became president? Good thing we avoided that.

Two cats sitting side by side in a window, looking out with rapt attention. In front is tabby cat Joe, sitting on a burgundy piano stool. Behind him on the windowsill is Frankie, with tabby stripes on his cheeks and forehead and a white front. Outside the window you can see a car driving by in rainy weather and bare trees.

The more this place reminds me of why I liked social media so much the more I realise that I stopped doing so a long time ago. It’s extraordinary what happened. The volume & violence of posts from accounts you had never shown the slightest interest in just exploded. It *must* have been deliberate.
