The so called 'Burnham Bounce' isn't going to last very long. On Gaza, on Iran, on Benefits, on cutting funding to fund Warfare, on everything, there is no difference at all to Starmer. If anything he is even more Right Wing.

Gaza will be as infamous as Auschwitz and this Genocide will be remembered with far more shame because the West covered it up and supplied the bombs.

And now for something completely different.. Lars Lerin, Swedish, b. 1954 At Home, 2011 Watercolor on paper 100 × 150 cm

A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared.

One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.

Interesting paper on why people follow rules: Intrinsic respect for rules and social expectations are the most important motives for rule-following ("55–70% of participants conform to an arbitrary costly rule"). Extrinsic incentives and social preferences play only a minor role.

As a thoroughly russified Qazaq kid growing up in the 1980s Almaty, I had deeply internalized the Russo-centric view of Qazaq-speaking Qazaqs as being rural and backwards. Embarrassingly, for many years, I failed to understand what now seems so painfully obvious. 1/10

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Top Dems on House and Senate Intel Committees — Jim Himes and Mark Warner, both members of Gang of Eight — were not briefed before the attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, per sources.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
