Antoun,

I don't know if it's a firebreak, so much as the train heading toward the edge.

Israel is beyond reason, the US government equally so, given they are actually planning on inviting Netanyahu to speak, then they are doubling down on Ukraine, to the degree the Russians are threatening tactical nukes, the US election couldn't have been imagined by the most surreal of writers, the detachment from reality is overwhelming.

The Gaza pier seems to be one of those nebulous threads to reality breaking.

It's hard not to see something enormous happening in the not too distant future. Quite simply, how more surreal can it get, without crashing?

Good to hear you made it back to England, where you can stir up some trouble. Skate that edge for all it's worth.
