Straight away the state is setting up for criminalisation of opposition and centring the state as victim. Their incentive is obviously to find any slightly tangential and spurious incident with which to use as justification. https://t.co/LZVStELJPR

WordPress, in their infinite fucking wisdom, have removed the classic block function that I use to change font size or use a different coloured text to differentiate whether I’m talking to you, Dear Reader, or to Clicky. I’m having to relearn how to do things and even so posts won’t look the same. Therefore, if I come across as a tad grumpy, please accept my apol…
*I’m somewhat pissed off about it, Clicky. Not Eris-pissed levels but close…*
Dear Reader, there has been a confluence of ‘home’ syncs in the past week, specifically relating to Homer, Homelander and the word Home itself.
It started at the beginning of May with the release of the trailer for Christopher Nolan’s take on ‘The Odyssey’, Homer’s epic poem on the travails of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he tries to return home with his men after attaining victory in the Trojan War. The trailer has caused something of a never-ending shitstorm online as Lord & Lady Nolan, presumably in their quest for further Oscar recognition following their successful Oppenheimer collab, have decided to hold Homer at arms length in order to fully embrace a trollop dollop of Wokeness, which will inevitably deliver Hollywood’s glittering prize to them. Everybody else gets thin gruel sloppy seconds, with a Newgate’s Knocker Helen, a wispy transman Achilles, dumbed down language and…
*Wow, the South Park creators were rather prescient with that caricature, Clicky. I just thought they were being unkind. Ironically, they’ve gone Woke too… /sigh…*
…People are rightfully pissed off at the wanton vandalism on display. Clicky has posted about it several times…
*You are taking me off on a tangent, Clicky. Stop it…*
… And who has decided to pen his own translation. It’s really rather good…
… And rather reminded me of Donald Trump if he were Odysseus. For a start, he’s crafty as a F-O-X and so much smarter than his critics are prepared to give him credit for. They take him at face value, a bit like the Trojans did with Odysseus’ wooden horse. It will be their undoing. Trump is also famous for sacking…
… And took the White House, Washington D.C’s sacred citadel. Twice. Like a chud. Seemingly unnecessary side quests appear to be have been taken in Venezuela and Iran, and as for the reckless retardation of his bros…
*RINOS are being thrown overboard. I mean, how fucking hard is it to follow your Captain’s orders…*
… Moving on from Trump’s Odyssey Bros, Dear Reader, to Trump and The Boys. It’s a TV show, not one that I’ve watched, but I recognise the main character, Homelander, as he’s used a lot as a meme and the show seems to be quite popular. Major controversy erupted last week, however, with the series finale when Hollywood’s TDS struck again. It’s all so tedious…
*Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be belatedly indulging in that series…*
… And then on my birthday – cough – President Trump strategically posted the word ‘HOME‘…

DRIVE-BY MEDIA: The same press corps that has breathlessly attacked Secretary Pete Hegseth and FBI Dir Kash Patel for drinking alcohol were seen pilfering and chugging bottles of wine and champagne after the would-be assassin was arrested at the WHCD. Double standard? pic.twitter.com/ghkCZbnDix
