The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Rollerball 50th anniversary & my top 'murder game' films
I am a few days late to the party but, nonetheless, it would be remiss of me not to comment on the 50th anniversary of Norman Jewison’s 1975 dystopian science fiction classic, Rollerball. After all, I like this film so much, I wrote a monograph on it (but more on that later).

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.
