Claude making a scientific discovery
Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

From Arie M. Dubnov’s book on Isaiah Berlin (2012). I had forgotten that quote from Churchill. He doesn’t mince words on the Stern Gang after they killed his friend Lord Moyne. Worth going back to this book if you are interested in Zionism and Anti-Zionism.

Alberta’s democratic experiment
Albertans will head to the polls this autumn to vote on whether to hold a referendum on seceding from Canada. Leah Trueblood explains how this ‘vote about a vote’ came about, why the ‘two vote’ structure is different from that put forward by the Independent Commission on Referendums, and suggests that the approach of the Government of Alberta is actually opposed to both the spirit and substance of the Commission’s recommendations.
