How the Trump administration's "shock and awe" approach has resulted in its litigation being shockingly awful

The US government is on the back-foot in its own courts because it is not thinking strategically

Your attention please people 🥵 This is the highest weekly average of CO2 in the atmosphere in millions of years. Humanity just broke all the CO2 records. 430.3 Read it and weep. And please please retweet. Trump's sucked up so much debate oxygen. Climate change is a massive, accelerating disaster.

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

Dear Byron,
Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the
first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above).
I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible.
One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again
whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the
States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the
way it is!
There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense.
Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every
single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that
Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with

are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So
why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And
'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that
Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel
disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that
people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You
wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'.
There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a
generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to
"Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they
haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks
Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text
of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the
continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't
heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most
people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of
just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and
see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people
are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get
through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.

I think liberals in the West need to understand that they have not stumbled across any kind of contradiction or hypocrisy in the Global far right. When they said “people have a right to free speech” they simply never saw racialised people as people to begin with 🧵
