Mars is Bright Tonight

 It's in Opposition today.

Sadly, I can't see it being bright.  Because cloud.

UPDATE: The clouds cleared, and I could see the red eye shining balefully...

Fatima, Again

 

Fatima

 Fatima

Fatima’s working in cyber

she’s learned how to snoop and to hack

she’s talented, driven, and passionate

her revenge a cold feast, not a snack

Rishi’s bank account there on a spreadsheet

a few clicks of the keys, and… goodbye

Hancock’s now being sought on charges of fraud

Gove for intent to supply

Cummings just never existed

his records amended, deleted

Johnson pursued for child maintenance payments

left penniless, bankrupt, defeated

Rees-Mogg’s found his place in a workhouse

learning to do what he’s told

and a freighter crawls to St Helena

with Priti Patel in the hold

Yes, Fatima’s working in cyber

she’s smart, and she seizes her chances

at the end of the day, puts her laptop away

picks her shoes up

and smiles as she dances.

Ominous Nunset Yesterday Evening

So, Mars is approaching opposition (it will actually happen on Tuesday), and is already bright in the evening sky.  And I'm rereading The War of The Worlds. Which made these dark clouds last night seem particularly ominous. 

 

Croissants!
