smokingbootA very beautiful full moon last night, sailing fast beyond wind-driven clouds, who also sent plenty of bins careering down the road. I am glad Spring is here. I feel it, despite everything.
Dreamed of the pre-ex-ex. In the dream, we met at a party and ended up kissing passionately. It was an odd one, cos I feel no flame towards him, but I do remember a letter he sent me, promising that in some world, in some other life, he would be kissing me and making love to me forever. The idea was that we couldn't be together in this life but we would be in another to come. It's hard to think of two more half-baked people, honestly. I lost the letter years ago - I'm a romantic but don't trust me with the paperwork - and never thought of it again til this morning, when I woke out of the dream thinking has he carked it? His favourite clip from his favourite film was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98qgvKUCcrk I was meant to be Cher. I know I should be flattered but... anyway apart from being insane, he always had an underlying ruthlessness and attachment to money he blamed on being an orphan. Whatever the reason, folk with that lean and hungry look tend to last, so I'm sure he'll be around longer than I will. But it was an odd moment. I am dreaming a whole bunch of bits and pieces I associate with death.
Maybe my subconscious is being influenced by the news. Confused by President Trump's move, wasn't he the Keep America Out of Foreign Wars Candidate? Not that anyone is going to mourn the end of the mad mullahs.But he does have this habit of lighting the blue touchpaper and standing back. I was so worried I did an horary chart for the whole thing, and maybe at some point I will put it up. But for now I must settle into more work.

His fanbase loves him precisely because he says what he thinks in the moment, even if it contradicts what he said the moment before. They call this 'authenticity'.

Date: 2026-03-04 09:15 am (UTC)As to President Trump, you really think so? I think there must be a difference between fanbase and ordinary Trump voter. The latter wanted economic improvement which seems to have been the main driver. I have no idea how all this other mularky, Greenland and Iran and Epstein etc really affects them. I guess at base we must return to Trump's question put to the voters; are they better off now?

It's hard to distinguish fanbase from voters because the former are so very loud and amplified by bots and trolls. I hope there's a silent majority of Trump voters who are seriously annoyed by his inflation. But war is a great driver of economies and the midterms are eight months away.
