After feeling bad about the state of the world a couple of weekends ago, things have taken a surprisingly strong turn for the better.
Republicans convincingly lost the mid terms (even if they manage a slim House majority - but it will be exquisite if they don't even get that); it is indeed looking likely that this is a sign that Trump will be loosing power over the party - although hopefully not without a bitter and damaging intra party civil war; Elon Musk made himself look foolish in the extreme with his harebrained Twitter management (which is only a good thing in that it might make some people finally realise that his "we're ready to go to Mars in a decade or so" boosterism is just wishful thinking with no basis in reality; Russia really does seem to be doing badly in Ukraine; Europe has a lot of alternative gas for the winter saved up; and finally, it seems crypto's reputation is self destructing, as many have been predicting for years while it pointlessly spewed out greenhouse gases.
Of course, everything could fall apart again if China decided to make a move on Taiwan. But let's hope this idea just fades again...

It is a huge relief because Trump is so divisive if he continued to have such strong support stability wise the US could have been in serious trouble. Contrary to rantings on newcatnip.blog Europe is not falling apart. There are so many prophets of doom there that think Australia is finished but they are not going anywhere because they know they are lying in order to get upticks.
