Being of the phenomenon is not sufficient to explain the phenomenon of Being.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

This country made significant progress against racism in my lifetime - but we did not do so by chance. There is a visible visceral regression in experiencing of overt racism because the toxic fringe with the most extreme views have a sense of permission & impunity

Comment: Why are we going backwards on racism in Britain?
Black and Asian people have increasingly equal opportunities to reach the top, but a viscerally and unacceptably unequal experience of public space

But the packaging of Tylenol says "acetaminophen" not paracetamol, because different people made different choices when abbreviating N-acetyl-para-aminophenol.

There is a reason... albeit a depressing one: they are making a pitch to billionaire daddies to come in (and make them millionaires) 😔

It's been said a million times before, in more eloquent ways, but seeing the misery first-hand makes it hard to ignore how much of contemporary life is shaped by social dislocation and chronic male loneliness. Half of this would go away if Warhammer and lower league football tickets were on the NHS.

I spent the day with Curtis Yarvin and the "dissident right" at a garden party in Surrey and wrote quite a few words about it.

People do stuff out of misplaced loyalties, hormonal derangement, stubbornness and embarrassment, all held in balance by a sense of duty and/or a need to be paid. You don't get efficiency by taking averages of their decisions, you just shore their decisions of their human purpose.

Dunno, maybe give asylum seekers the right to work? Maybe we could start by reducing the UK's one-year work ban on applicants to 60 days (as it is in Italy) or three months (as it is in Germany), or even six months (as it is in US, Canada, France, Spain, and Japan)? Maybe that's the thing to fix?

Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it.
