Diary 316

Thursday, January 28th

The good news is that General Motors is planning an all-electric line up for 2035 and will be carbon neutral by 2040. I’d have liked it to be sooner than that, but I’ll take what I can get.

Also, today marked the 208th anniversary of the publication of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ – in 1813. Think of that in Historical terms: Napoleon running rampant in Europe, modernizing it in ways that we take for granted now; Miss Austen pursuing other, different, truths and raising the status of women in the process. 

Oh yes, and Enrique Tarrio, leader of the proud boys, turns out to have been an FBI and CIA informant all along. His friends should be happy to hear that.
