'“No pasarán!” ... this cry united tens of thousands of East Enders, who stood tall against Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts at the battle of Cable Street... Jewish residents, Irish dockers, Somali seamen, trade unionists, independent socialists and communists alike.' Only one cure for fascism.

When looking at our low levels of aid to Ukraine, it shows not only a lack of morals, also a lack of basic survival instinct as Europeans. Let’s finally transfer Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine

Even if western Christianity were *not* the most murderous, blood-drenched abomination in human history, when it insists that it, and not we, dictate what happens to our bodies, it needs to be told firmly and unmistakably to fuck off -- and made powerless forever. Écrasez l'infame.

Brilliant stuff. Ruch's conclusion: People voted Nazi in 1930 not from economic anxiety or national pride or desire for a strongman leader. They voted Nazi for the same reason people vote AfD (or Republican) today: because they are vile human rubbish who long to see the people they hate murdered.

Sounds great.
According to experts I interviewed, the internet is about to get more frustrating. These agents may cause a cascading chain of problems that shake the foundations of digital infrastructure. Chances are good that you're about to live through an era of online chaos. 
The internet was built for humans with limited time and patience. AIs don't have those restraints. You'll probably have to fight with robots over concert tickets and booking appointments. Small businesses could drown in machine-made pestering. AIs don't look at ads, and websites that rely on them are already crumbling. You'll be buried in endless loops of proving you're human. And if you use these AI tools, some may betray you.

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

It's amazing to see the media try and frame the anger at Ed Sheeran as because he was silent, when in fact it's because he sacked someone for speaking out. I guarantee they would be angry at him too, if he sacked someone for saying "stop the boats" instead of "free Palestine"

Tiger Soga Shôhaku 18th century, Japan MEDIUM/TECHNIQUEHanging scroll; ink on paper DIMENSIONSImage: 119.1 x 28.6 cm (46 7/8 x 11 ¼ in.) CREDIT LINEWilliam Sturgis Bigelow Collection
Coiled within the narrow vertical confines of a hanging scroll (kakejiku), a wildly expressive tiger (tora) surges forward with theatrical intensity. The composition is boldly cropped: at the top, a striped, bushy tail curves into the frame from above, while below, the beast's head and massive, clawed paw press dramatically against the right margin. Shōhaku renders the creature with bulging, saucer-like eyes, flared whiskers, and an almost comical grinning jaw, using dense, jet-black ink strokes contrasted against soft grey washes. Through a masterly combination of wet ink shading and dry-brush technique (kashitsu), the artist captures both the tactile softness of fur and the uncanny, pulsating vitality of a mythical predator.
Painted in the 18th century by Soga Shōhaku (1730–1781), this ink painting (suibokuga) exemplifies the radical spirit of one of Edo-period Japan's celebrated "eccentric" painters (ki-jin). Rejecting the polished, orthodox styles of the state-sanctioned Kanō and Tosa academies, Shōhaku sought inspiration in the uninhibited, expressive brushwork of medieval Muromachi-period masters. Because tigers were not native to Japan, Edo artists had no opportunity to observe them live, relying instead on imported pelts, domestic cats, and traditional Chinese or Korean paintings. Shōhaku transformed this lack of direct observation into a triumph of imaginative monozukuri (artisanal mastery), channeling classical dragon-and-tiger motifs into a fiercely idiosyncratic, humorously exaggerated portrait that challenged the artistic norms of his day.
