Shocking interview w/ DUP’s Carla Lockhart on BBC Radio 4 rnow Refuses to describe the violence in Belfast as thuggery, then attacks media for being asked about why she was standing next to masked loyalists the other day. Ends by whipping everything up some more No wonder we’re in such a mess

This sort of prejudice against Irish is exhausting from The Economist. It's not the first time. The Irish language is no more or less "unfathomable" than French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese etc. All languages are "fathomable" when you take the effort to learn them. Cc @shashj.bsky.social

"Regime troops have begun a military occupation of Los Angeles, the principal city of the opposition held province of California. Suppressing ethnic minorities has long been a goal of ruling Republicans, who represent America's dominant 'White' tribal group."

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Where is post-Brexit Britain? New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. Recent Brexit news looks like a ragbag, but that shapelessness is significant, as it reflects drift and ambiguity in the government's policy and strategy for post-Brexit Britain: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/wher...

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago. They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.
Two scribes depicted in an ancient Assyrian low relief, using styluses to write on clay tablets.A cuneiform tablet with writing on it.
