As mentioned in the weather thread, Spain is still in shock over what happened in Valencia last week and the King, regional leader and PM were lucky to get out alive yesterday when they visited the affected area, with angry mobs (and a few VOX agitators) chasing/attacking official cars.
You can get too absorbed in these news stories and my girlfriend eventually just ordered me to get off the internet! It was good to get away from all the doomscrolling tbh. Handy also that I was invited on to a podcast in town to join this panel with various people talking about music scenes and subcultures around the country, so that was good fun on Saturday. I think they were all heading to see DJ Stingray at Razz after so god knows what state they all got into.
it was still hard to switch off though and avoid the news when everybody's talking about it. And then there's the US too of course. Hoping the Yanks do the right thing tomorrow... a return to fascism is the last thing anyone needs right now. Hopefully the fat rapist twat gets what's coming.
