News of the day: Greta Thunberg posted what could only be described as a callous, opportunistic photo on Twitter. Using the Palestinian crisis to grift her climate crisis agenda.
My initial response was something to the effect of “I wonder how innocent Palestinians feel about you exploiting their plight to promote your climate crisis agenda”.
Then I noticed she deleted the tweet. For a second, I thought she had some decency.
Then I noticed she retweeted virtually the same tweet, with virtually the same photo. But if you look carefully, it’s missing a certain octopus plushy in the background.
In the explanation to her deletion and retweet, she said it was “brought to her attention” that the stuffed animal could be interpreted as an antisemitic symbol. Which it is. Exhibit 3. She invoked the cloak of benevolence of autism to explain what the stuffed animal might have been used for. An explanation that makes absolutely no sense.
The world is dark comedy beyond our wildest dreams.
Funny thing is coming into our hotel, I pointed at the mountain and told the others we’d have to take the trolley up. Started off on what was supposed to be a 1.1 mile jog, 700 foot elevation. I made it to the summit. Heavenly
I still prefer Florida, and I prefer the American spirit.
But nature is glorious!
I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.
First impressions: I haven’t been overseas in over a decade.
Europe has a very distinct smell. I remember it from France. Like burnt rubber everywhere.
The lineup to get in for people coming from certain countries was probably half a mile along. There was an expedited entry for American and Canadian visas.
I don’t trust the police here at all. Everything about the experience so far reminds me of Eurotrip.
The infrastructure is not just antiquated. Dilapidated. The protective barrier around the airport looks like Alligator Alcatraz. I seriously thought there was something of an encampment outside the building, until I realized it was just the protective barrier for the airport itself.
I watched Moneyball on the airplane. Had never seen it before. One of the best movies I’ve seen in years.
Managed to sleep a couple of hours. Drank plenty of water.
We are waiting to take the train to Switzerland. Met up with the Rumble gang. Everyone’s looking good, and it’s good to be with friends.
