America enters a new, dark chapter: "Kavanaugh Raids" on entire buildings and neighborhoods, a chapter surely to be remembered as infamously as we now view the "Palmer Raids" of the first Red Scare. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

People from all walks of life — including many British Jews — are protesting against your government’s complicity in genocide and standing in solidarity with Palestine.

Conflating Israel’s genocide in Gaza with British Jews is deeply inappropriate and dangerous. Shame on you.

The other day I drew a subway-style map for The Hobbit, and it was very well received. Some of you asked if I could do one for LoTR, so I have!

Forgive the eel watermark; I'm working on making these something you can buy, if you like.

"No one knows what will come to replace the international system that is currently collapsing around us, but any political system that prioritizes punishing those who protest genocide rather than stopping the killing has clearly exhausted itself."

Leeds United are now close to a deal with Lille for left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. Understand he could arrive in England tomorrow as talks continue. Leeds saying nothing on it right now.

The world club cup making top premier league clubs richer, who also make a mockery of the PSR rules. Making the premier league brand weaker as top clubs get richer and monopolise the best players.

The BBC is destroying itself over this issue. Today it was censoring Glastonbury shows; earlier this week it refused to screen a doco it commissioned, because the film showed … doctors talking about what they experienced in Gaza.
Obviously BBC mgrs haven’t heard of the Streisand effect either.
Channel 4 to air BBC-commissioned documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack
BBC last week announced it had dropped the film over concerns it may create a ‘perception of partiality’

Anything and everything Trump does is to benefit one person, Trump. America needs to wake up. Democracy or its form of it (that’s a conversation for another day) is being systematically dismantled as we speak, breaking the constitution, which the republicans are supposedly all about.

Look I am always here for a religion angle but "I want to thank everybody and in particular God, I want to just say we love you God" is a weird-ass thing to say at a briefing

I wonder how long it will take for the government to care that the higher-education sector is in freefall.
'The university has informed staff of plans to cut 400 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by July 2026, with academics the first to go.'

Professor Andy Schofield, VC at Lancaster University since 2020, will take up position of Principal & VC at Glasgow University on 1 October 2025.
