After ten years in a professional environment where I have been ignored as either Cassandra or Chicken Little...(Sometimes by the same person in a single conversation)...and now that we're about to swear in a rapey Russian asset and his oligarchs, I've prepared a thoughtful and thorough response:
Usually not the one to say atodaso, but you know what? Atodaso. A F***in atodaso.

Home sick most of this week, with COVID nipping at those around me... But also have a cheerful fire in the fireplace and 75% of my kids coming for Christmas next week.
