Big up to science, rationalism and humanism. Duck Brexit and the forces behind it (looking at you farage and your financiers!)

It’s happening, like Canada and albeit slowly, without you realising it. It’s instigated by the consumer, all we need to do is no by coke, ford, Jim beam etc. but we are reliant on medicines and technology (like Ukraine dependence on patriots), so untethering takes time

Public executions were not abolished out of tenderness towards the criminal. They were abolished because of the effect on the people watching, and the dangers of making human death a source of commercial entertainment. Here's Charles Dickens in The Times, after witnessing an execution in 1849.
"I have seen, habitually, some of the worst sources of general contamination and corruption in this country, and I think there are not many phases of London life that could surprise me. I am solemnly convinced that nothing that ingenuity could devise to be done in this city, in the same compass of time, could work such ruin as one public execution, and I stand astounded and appalled by the wickedness it exhibits. I do not believe that any community can prosper where such a scene of horror and demoralization as was enacted this morning outside Horsemonger Lane Gaol is presented at the very doors of good citizens, and is passed by, unknown or forgotten. And when in our prayers and thanksgivings for the season we are humbly expressing before God our desire to remove the moral evils of the land, I would ask your readers to consider whether it is not a time to think of this one, and to root it out.

I am, Sir, your faithful Servant.
Charles Dickens".

Trump's plan to disrupt the election is already underway, with troops standing menacingly at a DC ballot drop box. Under 18 U.S. Code § 592, it is illegal for armed troops to be "at any place where a general or special election is held," yet there they are.

Putin celebrated his 74th birthday with former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. No wonder he wanted Schröder representing the EU in peace talks. The man would sell out Ukraine and the entire EU.

Yes. If Putin is lucky, the plague won't spread any farther and his cover-up will have worked to stop embarrassment. If Putin is not lucky, then neither are Russian since Pneumonic plague is highly contagious and very deadly.

All speculation what is known is that she succumbed, which is a tad worrying considering that the plague is normally easily treated by antibiotics. So the question remains what strain was this, and was it engineered?

You’re probably right however I’m a bit perplexed by the absence of information on what type of lab this was. And also why the first person succumbed questions why didn’t they respond to antibiotics? I’m sure there’s arational reason but we don’t appear to be living in a rational world at present
