@Fascinatorfun Hmm. I'm in an odd head space just now so struggling a bit with that. I'm thinking that some times yes, objectifying does aid perspective and sometimes no, objectifying can lead to what is sometimes referred to as 'stinking thinking'. Should I go on? This as a conversation between old friends you understand.

@kryphos @zleap @vitaminsludge @bullivant @auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum True dat! I would also add that there is a lopsided media coverage of deadly warfare. The struggles in Africa are hardly noticed but if whiteface Christians are involved just look at the flashbulbs popping. In the UK there is far too much virtue signalling and very little drive towards conflict resolution. Only my opinion. #StopAllWars

@zleap @vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie @bullivant @auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum Always important to be aware that our perception of crisis is the outcome of media framings.

Most of today's conflicts don't get any media coverage. Neither does the ongoing covid crisis of overwhelmed healthcare systems.

But all hell breaks loose in the media when some desperate humans arrive in a dinghy.

@stux To you too. ❤️

Good morning. #Detectorists Just brilliant. I have no t.v. so was watching at a friends. He is new to this so I missed every nuance but even so just a great way to pick up after a #Bad #News day.

@stux Twas the normal jam sandwich kind of a day. Some sweetness between two stale white slices. Hope you had a good one. Now into what my landlord is referring to as St Sunak's day, given his overwhelming charity to to his vassals. Remembering the original intent of 'Boxing Day' was to give a gift to one's servants. Generous ArisTorycrats actually gave there servants a food parcel and a day off (unpaid natch!)
