Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

Of goats or timorous flock
together thronged
Drove them before him
thunder-struck, pursued
With terrours, and with
furies, to the bounds
And crystal wall of Heaven;
which, opening wide,
Rolled inward, and a spacious
gap disclosed

VI, 857-861

Good Krugman piece/pod today on how even the US military isn't safe from the utter imbecilic incompetence of a sundowning, would-be dictator and his timorous cronies.

Have you ever met someone of "good character" where L platers are concerned? Well, I haven't. I find the moment an L plate is in front of me they become timorous, confused, homicidal, and a damn nuisance, while I become selfish and tyrannical.
