   The baseball arc really hits home for me (pun not intended).I wanted to be playing sport with everyone else, except I was autistic (unknown at the time) and bullied out of particpation. Then later bullied because I was not longer interested in participating, because of the bullying.

   I’d laugh, but the UK has its own problems, like the recent PM Liz Truss who was mocked for lasting less time than a lettuce, and who thinks her disastrous 7 weeks as PM was cut short by something other than her own rank incompetence. She was of course, the choice after Boris Johnson, a man whose serial philandering is the least of his problematic time as an MP and subsequent PM, and the current PM Rish! Sunak, who is as charmless as the by now wilted lettuce, again the least of his defects.

   Before we moved to Sri Lanka (spent 5 years there) I told my kids they would have to take the Elephant bus to school, because of the Tigers.

   [We did actually once have a parade of elephants past our apartment building one year, during Vesak]

   Places I lived in Australia in the late 70’s and early 80’s, we had only 2 channels, ABC and one of the local affiliates to a commercial network.

   One place (Cunnamulla) had just the ABC, which at the time was known for its repeats. The number of times I saw The Goodies, Monkey, Astroboy, and many others, is crazy.

   As yes, the Y2K bug fallacy. We did something and then nothing happened, so the something was a waste of time. Ignore of course that the doing something might be the reason nothing happened.

   Risk management for right wingers, convinced that if anything bad happens, it won’t happen to them, it will be someone else’s fault, and despite all the ignored warnings, if it did happen there was nothing that could be done anyway (and why take the risk that something might not happen?)

   Did one for my company a month back. I absolutely did not take it as being anonymous.

   Oil companies are cynical, manipulative, corrupt, and absolutely doing it for the money, you say?

    It’s only sarcasm if you do it intentionally to mock someone. No cluelessly. Trump would happily do it maliciously though, there is no bottom to the level of low to which he and his ilk will not stoop.
