🔍 It's always useful to refect on the notion of "discovery" - by whom, and in which context, "discoveries" or "new findings" take place? Did Science Finally Find the Meridians? open.substack.com/pub/flowingz...

The story of US intervention is a story of suffering, misery and chaos. How many more catastrophic failures will it take before we learn the lesson? My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the illegal invasion of Venezuela. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/01/star...

Starmer’s Passivity on Venezuela is Cowardice
Keir Starmer’s evasiveness towards Donald Trump’s assault on Venezuela is a clarifying example of Britain’s ‘special relationship’ of unthinking submission to the White House’s interests.
