Florida is hell
This should alarm everyone.
On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (10th November 1988). Triffids do tend to turn up in the most unexpected places.
Fun fact - Andrew Marshall and David Renwick wanted to use a Dalek, but permission wasn't granted.

Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer and others have already done far more damage to the safety and perception of the American Jewish community than even the suspicions aimed at mayor elect Mamdani could do in the wildest dreams of his bizarre detractors.
I have many differences with J Street, but they are absolutely correct about this. It is alarming to see so many American Jewish institutions act as though Mamdani is a unique threat to Jewish safety, while ignoring the mainstreaming of neo-Nazism by the current presidential administration.

Penguin Books are always a joy. Here are my 1960 editions of 'Quatermass II' and 'Quatermass And The Pit' teleplays. Both absolute classics, but I don't need to tell anyone that. The cover designs are by Nigel Kneale's brother Bryan. The first had a plain cover.

The jurors did not swallow the government's case
They had no appetite to convict
The government tried to get them to bite, but couldn't
So the jurors spit out an acquittal

Tonight's dinner 🍽️🍜: Spag Bol, the classic English dish based on Italian meat sauce dishes. Tastes like tea sat in front of the TV when I was 12. Beautifully nostalgic, but I'm pretty sure also very tasty. Meaty, herby umami goodness. Recipe from: Me. (github.com/vive-la-niam...)

There are black people alive right now who officially went from Negro to Colored to Black to African American.
We haven't even kept the same classification for over 100 years.

A lot of people know people brought up during Jim Crow and all of us know someone brought up during the several eras of civil unrest afterward. 1950 was 75 years ago, that's the average life cycle of 1 person..
