Expecting FIFA and football fans to boycott the World Cup is akin to expecting the City police to stand up to ICE and the Fed goons. It is just not who they are. But Trump might do enough damage by banning fans from his list of countries. He is probably his own worst enemy, tbh.

The BBC piece on the nurses case this week was pretty embarrassing, tbh. But that was partly the fault of the court.

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.
He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

The dumbest fuck in the American government.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

The standardisation of British signs means that however unique the directions and distance on them, they share a common pattern. This one has been made unique by its secondary decoration by dwellers living in Chepstow. Thus it is truly the #One.

Seems a long time ago, but Anthony Giddens being Blair's favourite reads rather differently after the disaster of the Iraq war and of Blair's post-parliamentary career. So much for the Third Way. 😕

It really sucks being a Nordic model social democrat right now, more than usual. Outside of that (proven to work and improve life in almost all ways) ideology not having much electoral representation, I keep having to say "I'm for big government spending and high taxes, but not like this"

The worst was booked by a co-researcher on a project. He was looking for the cheapest hotel around Paddington for us, but when he was savaged by bed bugs, he figured he’d gone too cheap. Best was a hotel suite in Vienna. It was big enough for a gang of us to watch Germany beat Brazil 7-1 in 2014.

Except Sparta fell soon afterwards. History has a way of breaking authoritarian states, if not quickly, then eventually. We can hope at least.
