The only book I'll have finished in under a week this year. What a brilliant debut. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this (though I still have ~30 pages to go). Already reserved 'The Christmas Appeal' from my library.

What is one of the stupidest excuses given by British museums for not returning artefacts from former colonies like India - that we can't be trusted to keep them safe? Well?!

Great conversation. Latest edition of enshittification is from Google, specifically Gmail, where they have removed the "social" and "promotions" tabs unless you "activate smart features" and hand over all your communications to them. What a shitshow the internet has become!

If December 6 is to carry a meaning beyond perpetual grief, it must become a yearly, collective reckoning – a harsh reminder that a nation cannot afford the luxury of forgetting what hatred, cloaked in piety, once did in its name, Hasnain Naqvi writes.

Keir Starmer says digital ID cards are an ‘enormous opportunity’ and will make it tougher to work illegally - UK politics live
Prime minister says plans for a new digital ID held on people’s phones will become mandatory to prove the right to work
Starmer’s plans envisage ID cards being stored on devices in the same way contactless payment cards or the NHS app are.
The digital ID would be the authoritative proof of identity and residency status in the UK and include name, date of birth, and a photo as well as information on nationality and residency status, reports the PA news agency.
I know working people are worried about the level of illegal migration into this country. A secure border and controlled migration are reasonable demands, and this government is listening and delivering.
Digital ID is an enormous opportunity for the UK. It will make it tougher to work illegally in this country, making our borders more secure. Continue reading...

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

Commission’s 72-page legal analysis cites examples including scale of killings, aid blockages and forced displacement

Middle East crisis – live updates
A UN commission of inquiry concluded on Tuesday that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had incited these acts.
It cited examples of the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic to back up its genocide finding, adding its voice to rights groups and others that have reached the same conclusion. Continue reading...

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
