Keepin’ it real
The journal will be going away this week for awhile. I need a vacation (from myself) There may or may not be a post on Thursday, I guess we’ll find out. After that we’ll be in a new location for a few days, so that will either covered here or not depending on how I feel about it. Nothing is going on anyway, yet everything is, if you know what I mean.

For some reason South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he had no choice but to resort to martial law in order to safeguard free and constitutional order. This is supposedly the result of a threat from North Korea. The BBC says that Yoon’s People Power Party and the main opposition Democratic Party continue to disagree over next year’s budget bill. Seems a rather odd excuse to take such drastic measures.

The 2024 White House Christmas tree. Not gay at all
As Joe Biden gets dragged pardoning, kicking and screaming out of the White House there seems to be an awful lot of trouble brewing everywhere. There’s now a conflict in Syria which has just blown up. Nothing to do with the fact that it looks like the same people who hate Russia are trying to ignite World War Two part two by any means they can. We’re dealing with psychopaths here after all.

The UK Government has agreed a contract for more than five million doses of human H5 influenza vaccine to boost the country’s resilience in the event of a possible H5 influenza pandemic. Not this shit again. “The UK government” is a joke.

They know absolutely everything at the BBC
Down on Planet Cuckstralia, Double J the ABC’s pop music arm has a story from 2017 which begins like this “Have you heard the one about the two guys who started a joke band, then accidentally created one of the biggest albums of the decade?

MGMT – The 1990’s called and want their tribal look back
No one really got the joke, but MGMT are still living with the irony. MGMT were the most reluctant of rock stars, and Oracular Spectacular was their most perfect accident.” One of the biggest albums of the decade” is a bold claim. I thought I’d better listen to the song that was featured in the story. It was ok, if a little forced. I’m not gonna put a link to it here, but instead something of mine. I don’t have Columbia Records to promote my music, so excuse me if I have to do it myself.
Wait for the bonus song at the end, it’s totally worth it.
