I don't think anyone who's salivating at the prospect of mass political violence or civil war has the foggiest idea of how bad these things are in real life. It's beyond their memory and their imagination.

I just completed a certificate in wargaming from MORS! I learned a lot about professional & recreational game design this past week; I'm struck by how many spicy opportunities there are for analyzing wargames through an embodied cognition/economics lens. 10/10 recommend.

We've had the Long Parliament, the Rump Parliament, and even an Useless Parliament. But if this parliament goes down in history, it will be as the Death Parliament. My write-up of this afternoon for UnHerd. unherd.com/newsroom/ass...
Assisted dying vote is Parliament’s most shameful day
Parliaments used to have nicknames. Barebone’s Parliament of 1653 was named after the improbable Fifth Monarchist agitator Praise-God Barebone MP. A few years previously, the Rump Parliament was what ...

I can't describe the rage I felt this morning at seeing the words "feed me" sprayed on the National Holocaust Museum back home... The spike in violent antisemitism across Canada this past year has been absolutely shocking; I thought we were better than this.

World won’t forget Tiananmen Square, US and Taiwan say on 36th anniversary of massacre
Date of 4 June remains one of China’s strictest taboos, with government using increasingly sophisticated tools to censor its discussion
The world will never forget the Tiananmen Square massacre, the US secretary of state and Taiwan president have said on the 36th anniversary of the crackdown, which China’s government still tries to erase from domestic memory.
There is no official death toll but activists believe hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed by China’s People’s Liberation Army in the streets around Tiananmen Square, Beijing’s central plaza, on 4 June 1989. Continue reading...
