Why the Negative is now most important

We are being brainwashed to believe everything is just fine. Everything except a few things that the powers that be want us to think are not fine, but we will be protected from them by the Great Multicolored Hope. These sanctioned bad things include Trump, Putin, Covid germs (along with a host of others, named and not yet named), Racists, Misogynists, LGTBQ++-phobes, Palestinians, Iranians, and a litany of other little things too numerous to mention. The "badness" each of these things hold is determined by TPTB, and can come and go on a whim, only to be replaced by whatever else might strike their fancy.

Common sense, and maybe a little bit of experience, might lead us to believe there are other scary things lurking under the bed that we should be frightened of, like US/NATO provoked nuclear war, genocide (pick a place), starvation, ineffective and dangerous vaccines and other prescription drugs, corruption in medicine, corruption in food production, chemtrails, on and on and on. No, do not worry about these things, folks. They are nonstarters, nothing to see here, move on. We'll let you know what to worry about. Stay tuned for further updates.

The things that our common sense tells us are worrisome are not sanctioned by the agenda to be worries. They are merely distractions and not worthy of our attention. Everyone around us is telling us they are conspiracies, denied science, or planted in the world by kooks and enemies of the state. If you think about them or point them out to others you are looking for darkness and ruining everyone else's fun.

'Round and 'round the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel. Guess who the weasel is?

And to top all of this malarky off, we have a general, new-agey, propensity to ignore the dark side and see only the light. "Positive thinking," they say. And if, God forbid, you are one of those people (like me, apparently) who is "always looking for shit" then you, and everyone around you, are doomed to wallow in it. In fact, not only will it fill your life, but you will be responsible for ruining the world for everyone else as well. That is how metaphysics works, right? We create our own reality, but some of us, the dark ones among us, create everyone else's reality as well. That sucks.

Poland's second-ever Ivory Gull has been found dead at a coastal town in the north of the country.

The bird, an adult, was found at Władysławowo, Pomerania, on 23 November. It frequented the town harbour, offering point-blank views and attracting plenty of admirers in the process.

However, after the bird was last seen alive on 29 November, it was discovered dead the following day.

Ivory Gull breeds in the High Arctic and has a circumpolar distribution through Greenland, northernmost North America and Eurasia. It is a rare but regular vagrant to Continental Europe. The only previous Polish record was at Rewa, Pomorskie, on 29 September 1989.

Britain's most recent record came in January 2019, when a bird at Loch Ryan, Dumfries and Galloway, was taken into care before being released at Stevenson Point, Ayrshire.
