Honestly, all we've ever needed is for the likes of David Brooks, David French, Stuart Fraser to shut the hell up and listen.

A joy to visit the stunning new St Athanasius Coptic Church on the outskirts of Norwich. Another generous welcome. From Fr Shishoy and his community. Much appreciation for the CofE commemorating the 21 Coptic martyrs of Libya. “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church” - Tertullian.

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Not only no culture, but no *commons*. The dependency on the capitalist overlords will be complete, because you can’t ask for help or context from others when there is no common frame of reference. This has already happened in coding, the first space where they destroyed the commons we’d all built.

Watching the first episode of #TheParty, and really, having gone to the Oratory, not really sure that public school boy angst and nastiness is going to be my cup of tea. Looking forward to #Time

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

My only disagreement is using the Taliban as an example. This is American lynching party sh**. Whiteness needs to stop pretending it's not barbaric.

Point being it's in your history and - and far more recent than medieval, e.g., lynching parties, so stop outsourcing it to people not like you to pretend you're more civilised.

Something that I really long to return, for no other reason than imagined nostalgia, is the medium budget broadcast TV miniseries.

Antarctica is not a country. But thanks for proving my point. I was specifically referring to America. The formation of a “country” is in itself a violent and exclusionary act, the villianization and oppression of indigenous peoples by a colonizing invader.

No. Did you miss the fact that medieval Europe publicly executed people? Direct line from that.

No need to bring the Taliban into it. Europe has had plenty of its own fascist, murderous regimes. And America has been this since the beginning.

Sorry but USA has not been civilized, ever. We slaughtered the indigenous peoples to steal their land, we kidnapped indigenous peoples from another continent to pick cotton and sugar cane, we brutalize black and brown people for coming here but welcome white immigrants with open arms.

Doing an interview with the Washington Post this afternoon about the Pentagon’s “live-stream execution” announcement concerning Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood), ISIS propaganda, atrocity porn, and more. Will post link once the article goes live.

I see that little rightwing think tank, UN Watch, is already trying to smear Navi Pillay, as is the Israeli Foreign Ministry, accusing her of 'blood libel'. I'd scoop that Netanyahu government rage as a badge of honour and hold it next to the Nobel.

Congratulations, Holborn and St Pancras, for making clear to your previous MP that his racist, Islamophobic, pander to Reform stance is not how you roll. Good riddance and what a disappointment he was. Looking forward to never hearing what he has to say again.

Excellent post. One aspect of the "democratic purism" discussed is that it's based on the dangerous misunderstanding that democracy is *entirely* defined by voting and neither requires nor is compatible with any other institutions.

Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.
A photo of my dog photo-bombing Devil's Tower. My dog, a husky/malamute/wolf with black and tan fur is sitting in front of the towering rocky pillar with a large smile and tongue hanging out.
