Yesterday I posted a bit of satire written by a remarkably prescient lady in Massachusetts.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/17/donald-trump-greenland-purchase-denmark

Which was written as a response from a tweet from Trump about considering it, in the way he does.

(Now the Graun appears to have pulled this piece of satire and purged it from its site. What goes on here? [edit] And now it's back. Weird, eh?)

Today we get this:

It is now evident that some sort of satire/reality accelerator loop has been imposed on us. If this is one giant simulacrum the folk running it have some issues they need to sort out; it's a bit of a shame they have to use us to do so though. Oh to be a mouse in a different maze, hey?

That everyone should see it:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/17/donald-trump-greenland-purchase-denmark

It is good old-fashioned satire of an undemanding sort from one of our American cousins based in Massachusetts. And pitched exquisitely... using that particular er, um, bluntness employed by its subject. The details make it beautiful.

Awesomely apt: some days you're just in tune with the zeitgeist....just before it bites your knees.
