Welcome to Litsy!

I have a black cat now but I‘ve had plenty of gingers growing up.

It helped that while reading this book, I had Alexei's voice in my head, from deranged apoplexy to soft thoughtfulness. He's humorous, but as with much comedy adapted from standup routines, it's infinitely better hearing it being performed, so I again recommend checking out his radio show 📻🤣

"Here, I'll tell you what I hate - Fascism! I can't stand it, me, I think it's really, really terrible. I do. I think it's bang out of order. That's just me, though. You might like it, you might think it's OK. Indeed, you might be a fan of radical authoritarian nationalism but I think you'd be wrong."
[Said in a loud, thick Scouse accent, softening to a matey tone, one eyebrow raised ?]

"John Maynard Keynes said, "When the facts change, I change my opinion." But when you're in a cult, when the facts change, you change the facts! To the end of her life my mother would never admit that there was anything wrong with the Soviet Union. The most she would admit was, "Mistakes were made." But as she used to say, "You can't make an omelette without murdering forty million people.""

I love Alexei Sayle's Imaginary Sandwich Bar radio show. There isn't much Marxist comedy on the BBC (or anywhere else, probably!), so where else am I going to get ideologically sound laughs? ✊🏻🚩😂
Most of all, he's funny, and if you need some dark, absurdist humour in your life, I encourage you to listen to Alexei:

Back home, and my trip to Didsbury netted me these six tomes, five from EJ Morten and one from a well-stocked Oxfam ( @rwmg that's the Judge Dee 😊).
I set a budget, I kept to the budget: winning at life! 💷📚🏅🏆👏🏻🫠👏🏻

In my internet travels, I came across a story of the world‘s first spotless giraffe, Kipekee, who was born in Tennessee in 2023. Kipekee means unique in Swahili.

pretty kipekee,
the world‘s first spotless giraffe,
born in Tennessee. 🦒
