Owning the libs. Renting to own the libs. The installment plan... for the libs. Falling behind on your payments for the libs. and now your water might get shut off.

The golden age of journalism, when there were four or five national papers doing elite global reporting, with robust research and editorial staffs, is gone and is not coming back, ever. I don't miss much about the past, and wouldn't go back if I could. But I miss professional news.

The Israel & Russia issue is not complicated. You either oppose atrocities regardless of who commits them, or you don’t. Everything else is noise. We don’t need protestors, zealots, influencers, celebs, or anyone to tell us what international law says or what is right and wrong.

It's getting so obvious when my colleagues paste in LLM-generated text. So many plans and docs have this formula of: * The problem is real * The division is clean * The signal is clear It's so tedious.

This, my friends, is one of your legislators. We didn't elect him, but he sits in the House of Lords as a reward for bringing us Brexit, injecting his bigotry, perversity and ignorance into our lives. Daniel Hannan in the Daily Mail today, once again grossly misrepresenting history.
Meanwhile, Caribbean countries are demanding ‘reparations’, not from the African states that enslaved their ancestors, but from the nation that poured its blood and treasure into a relentless campaign for abolition.

Incredibly, African countries – which became British colonies, in no small measure, because we were trying to extirpate slavery – also straight-facedly demand compensation.

Elon Musk, in 2025, tells the pro-Russia, Nazi linked AfD: "I think there is too much focus on past guilt (in Germany), and we need to move beyond that. Children should not feel guilty for the sins of their parents, their great grandparents even." Translation: "don't feel guilt for Nazi Germany"

Kudos to the Guardian for this description
Who’s leading them?
Its leader is Daniel Thomas, better known as Danny Tommo, the right-hand-man of the far-right extremist, fraudster and violent criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – who wants people to call him Tommy Robinson.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
