I don't regard antisemitism as a unique or fundamental bigotry, anymore than I think that TERFism or Islamophobia is. But like TERFism, Islamophobia and other bigotries, it is a habit of thought that makes people increasingly conspiratorial, nervy and aggressive. There's no bottom to be had

Il y a en Pologne et plus largement en Europe centrale une tradition, relevée par l'historienne de l'art Magdalena Łanuszka, de chaire baroques en forme de baleine dans certaines églises. C'est assez incroyable. Exemple dans l'église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul de Duszniki-Zdrój en Basse-Silésie (1/n)
Un immense monstre marin jaillit du mur, couvert d’écailles, doté de grandes nageoires et d’une queue noueuse, la gueule grande ouverte, parsemée de molaires carrées et de canines acérées comme celles d’un hippopotame. Ses yeux écarquillés fixent le ciel et son palais rouge est visible dans la cavité de sa mâchoire ouverte.
Autour de sa bouche sont assis, miraculeusement suspendus dans les airs, les quatre évangélistes vêtus de robes d’or.
Des crânes humains gisent sur son museau, à côté d’une figure extraordinaire, squelette d’un côté et chair de l’autre, s’élevant vers le haut. Des figures et des nuages tourbillonnent plus haut vers un soleil au sommet où le Christ ressuscité se tient triomphant.

I've been dismayed at how many local charity shops are closing, (particularly in Headington which used to have LOADS). This is a good analysis of one of the problems they're facing: onenightstanzas.substack.com/p/vinted-isn...

It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

The NEET rate basically hasn't changed for the whole of this century (except post-GFC and post Covid). It's been the same with tougher welfare sanctions and weaker. More apprenticeships and fewer. Higher employer national insurance and lower. I draw two conclusions from this....

I don't remember a version of the Ship of Theseus where each plank gets replaced with a screaming demon, and when the whole thing is nothing but demons bolted together screaming for your soul, you realise that whether this can still be called a ship isn't actually the most pressing question.

Given the partisan nature of British press, I feel you should always include their world view when speaking of them, eg. "The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires," "The Guardian. a jounal that imitates solidarity until it clashes with the requirements of the state" etc

there literally is no system that is abuse proof, so at a certain point you’re just against the abstract concept of authority or power in general. I think about this when it comes to ALPRs for traffic enforcement. Like if you want to have laws at all, you have to give someone power.
