long days journey into night

“You're not being serious?”
“Why not?”
“You really want to go all that way just to buy cake?”
“And bread. But the buns are amazing, up there in the realm of Sachertorte.”
“It's too far, too expensive to take the mrt up there.”
“Aye, but if I buy a pile of stuff and then divide the fare by that number then it becomes a surcharge on bakery produce. And it's definitely worth a few dollars extra for each piece.”
“That's insane. Don't you have anything better to do than think about justifications and excuses. You could always mop the floor if you're bored.”
“And if I cycle one way then I'll also burn off enough calories to justify an extra couple of pieces, so then it becomes healthier cake as well as bringing down the surcharge.”
“That's really stupid, convoluted nonsense, do you really think that you''re making any sense now?”
“I can buy you some bread while I'm there.”
“Seriously?”
“You really don't want any buns?”
“I think that you've built some idiotic rationale around it. Why don't you just admit that you'd like a bun and be done with it? Why surround it with all of these reasons. You do know that it doesn't make any sense.”
“Chocolate and hazelnut. Melt upon the tongue.”
"Sometimes I can't believe just how stupid you are."


Waking up to the floating debris of de Piffle Paffle's press appearance, the second in a matter of days, Napoleon forced out to face the farmyard once again, taking the the Priti Fatal deviation from any semblance of underlying morality. “I'm sorry that you feel/that the public feel angry/frustrated/let down... I, personally, don't give a fuck what any of you think and am in no way going to apologise.”


Besides what's the point of an apology if it's forced? It's just moral hypocrisy, words devoid of meaning sprayed to give the appearance of contrition where none is felt.

The moment passed, the direction of travel chosen; I read about bishops being threatened by the desperately insecure – the usual “alt” right conspiracy theories, that double standards are being applied; that it's all so unfair, media bias, the elites, a remainer plot etc. It does force the question of what's gone wrong with our society at a deeper level. Why is it that, to this minority of trolls, their clusters of insecurity given voice by the safe haven and anonymity of the internet there's this need to, immediately, take recourse towards threats and violence towards any who'd disagree or diverge from their viewpoint. Is their understanding of the world built upon such flimsy and irrational foundations that any attempt to question it is justification for such actions?


On the plus side, Clusterbourach seems to have become word of the day.
