And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world.
From here, the nights will stop drawing in and daylight hours stretch out again. What will you do with your longer days?

The Britcard (bleurgh) won’t solve any of the systemic problems we face: not poverty, not inequality, not the climate crisis.
But it will make millions for some IT companies & create lucrative jobs for ex-Labour politicians. Just like PPE contracts during Covid.
