all my core arguments in one case:
1. the modern far right has international ambitions
2. concessions don't pacify the far right, they embolden it
3. you can't be neutral (as the bbc tried to be)
4. they attack where resistance is weakest
5. right now, that's the uk

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

The booing is great but "I *state your name* do solemnly swear" is fucking hilarious
BREAKING: Trump was just viciously BOOED at the Washington Commanders Detroit Lions game.
I’ve never heard a president booed this loudly in my life. Holy cow!

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

A "modest margin" when Mamdani beat his next closest challenger by 8 points in a three-person race. Trump won by just 1.5% and it was played off as a seismic realignment of American politics and culture.
Damn, I hate it when things that happen mean nothing :-(
