It has been said that in Gene Rodenberry's Star Trek universe, to arrive at the post-scarcity world of Starfleet and the Federation we had to go though a pandemic and then a nuclear world war. At what stage in the proceedings are we now? Yikes. It is scary and stressful to read the news.

I get two completely different and incompatible stories about what is happening in my poor rich original country. One, mostly by V'zlans who left and another by (some of ) those who stayed. The division and hatred seem unsurmountable. And the intervention by the cheeto mussolini takes it to a whole new level as well as endangering the rest of the world.

Those amongst my Venezuelan friends who are believing Trump is acting in the best interests of democracy and my country might be in for a rude awakening. I just hope Vz doesn't turn into an Iraq and, eventually, a vassal state of Trumpistan.

2. Culinary Witches

Panel 1:
A blasted moor. Night. Two witches stand by a cauldron. One stirs. one adds ingredients and chants:
"Eye of newt, toe of frog, wing of bat..."

Panel 2
She continues: "Head of garlic, pinch of sumac, glug of walnut oil, leaf of kale, tablespoon of pomegranate molasses, cup of polenta, shake of smoked paprika..."

Panel 3
The witches' pet raven  says to their cat: "Things were a lot simpler around here before they got that Ottolenghi cookbook."

p.s. I know that in Shakespeare it is ‘wool of bat’ but I thought ‘wing’ was better visually.
