Yeah, I think the best way to avoid botched executions is to stop executing people.

A quick reminder, the President of Ethiopia, Ahmed Abiy, won the Nobel prize in 2019 largely on the strength of negotiating peace with Eritrea. Since then he has brought them in as a partner to beat his Tigrayan rebels and now looks like he might be fighting them again.

There’s not going to be a formal Labour-LD pact, but it also doesn’t matter, because there already is one.

One of the reasons people are viscerally mad about AI is that it is constantly publicly being used to violate millennia-old but today-largely-unspoken social taboos.

Today is a great day to remember that 75% of British Jews see Israeli settlement expansion as a "major obstacle to peace" and 68% said they have a "sense of despair" every time further expansion is approved. (2015 survey)

Herzog's argument could be remotely credible in an environment where the Israeli opposition, or indeed even Herzog himself, could be expected to announce a unilateral disengagement from the West Bank if they win the election. As this is impossible, the argument is dumb.

Way too many centre-left people of a policywonkish persuasion simply do not understand the concept of hitting a pressure point. It doesn't matter if what people are saying about datacentres is "wildeyed" or "histrionic." The modern tech industry is bad and should be witchhunted a bit.

British Voter @britishvoter.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I'm a Mixed White and Black African Methodist man from Peckham, aged 48. My top issue is the size of the state. In 2024 I voted Conservative. Today I'd vote Green.
Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Peckham. About them, in their words: I'm a council tenant. This last year I've had to borrow just to get by on the basics. I'm between jobs and looking for work. Before this I had a sales or customer service job in the private sector. I'm working class, I'd say. News habits: I keep up with politics pretty closely. When it comes to papers, I mostly read the Telegraph. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: My favourite leader is Zack Polanski. My least favourite is Nigel Farage. The previous UK government had a big positive impact on the economy. The cuts to public spending have gone way too far. These days, too many people take offence too easily at the words others use. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 0.5 out of 10, further left than the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 7.5 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

I am so fucking tired of establishment liberals giving the GOP a pass with this “everything is a distraction from Epstein” bullshit. Republicans have wanted this for decades. McCain is on video singing a “Bomb Iran” song. This has always been who they are.

Reform’s electoral record at parliamentary by-elections: win by five votes when the previous Labour MP had literally decked one of his constituents. Lose. Lose. Lose. Lose. Lose. Beat a novelty candidate with no ground game while doing worse than the Tories in the same seat in 2019.

Not to beat up on Douthat even more, but I'll just say: it has never, in all of post-war American history, been more crystal clear exactly who your enemy should be. Never. If it's not obvious to you, you are morally & intellectually defective.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
A medic pulls out a gun proclaiming "I'm a healer, but...." This is in reference to one of the weapons being a gun in the new Fire Emblem game, because nothing says medieval fantasy like putting a cap in a fool's ass.

It is really quite something to watch Iran decide it has so little fear of US willingness to exercise power that it can openly humiliate the President without meaningful consequence. And its seems likely theyre right
