Chris Brain: The rapist priest who abused his congregation

Els recordo a les noticies locals (Sheffield) als anys 80/90s, com el "futur" de l'església amb tothom flipant com atreien la joventut amb música i raves etc; fins i tot el establishment de l'església els aplaudia i animar. Res, abusos i violacions, l'església de sempre🤷‍♀️ www.bbc.com/news/article...

Chris Brain, who led nightclub-style services in the 1980s and 90s, is convicted of rape.

#filmnight Com que no he llegit el llibre ni vist l'antigua pel·lícula, no puc comparar-les, però m'ha "agradat" si això és la paraula. Tant de bo els que munten guerres constantment i/o venen la moto de l'obsessió amb les patries i orgulls de país, els obliguessen a mirar-ho.

Wrote a thing Monday. Got held back and is a weekend read at the Guardian today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

While the criminal justice system should address reports of rape, we know that rates of conviction are appallingly low for a number of reasons. Although, thanks to feminist interventions, the legal system is better equipped to understand this crime and less prejudiced against victims, we will not change the world through that means.

After rape allegations at Cornell University, why are women again being urged to talk to their sons? Why not men?

Sexual assault arises in part through both the entitlement and the desire to abuse and dehumanize women, which is in part about definitions of both masculinity and femininity: masculinity in that domination, violation and degradation are seen as status-enhancing, femininity in the perception that women’s bodies are for men to use, women’s voices and rights to be ignored.

The most compelling thing I’ve read in response to the Cornell case is in an essay by feminist writer Soraya Chemaly. She cites anthropologist Peggy Sanday, who told her that there are “rape-prone” and “rape-free” societies: “She found that in rape-free cultures, women have far more authority, status, safety and freedom.”

They’re societies in which women’s rights to bodily and social self-determination are respected, and a man who violates those rights would face severe consequences. “Rape-prone cultures, on the other hand, treat rape as an entitlement in a system that revolves around masculine contests and hierarchies.”

There's a new edition of THE HOBBIT & it's the one illustrated by Tove Jansson which has never been published in English before. (It was pub'd in Sweden where Astrid Lindgren picked her to do the illustrations!) Read more: tovejansson.com/hobbit-tolki... 📖 www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Tove Jansson's cover for THE HOBBIT with a very Jansson-esque Bilbo holding a shield and axe with mountains behind, Smaug flying overhead, and the line of riding dwarves as tiny silhouettes behind.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.
