I'm somewhat surprised at the muted reaction, given that even russian papers themselves are now confirming that the military has been given "carte blanche for the destruction of Ukraine" which are openly genocidal orders (not that the campaign was not such from the beginning in practice).

it's not an original point but it will never stop being funny to me whenever right wingers criticise religious figures for "virtue signalling". like... yes? that's kind of the point of their role?

A friend always argues the weirdest thing about modern society to two thousand years ago might actually be seeing the Mediterranean as the dividing line rather than the epicentre of civilisation

I was annoyed in 2015 when someone took the already-annoying neologism "Grexit" (re GR-Euro-crisis) and backformed it into the even worse "Brexit". "Breturn" is still worse than that so I expect it's going to become the name that everyone decides to use, because that's what seems to happen.

Not a novel observation by any means but the irony here, of course, is that it is precisely the UK’s successful approach to multiculturalism that has allowed us to generate a brown white nationalist.

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

You can tell exactly when Poland became a major power in European politics, because EU institutions very suddenly started calling history's most famous female physicist by a double-barrelled name

We rightly give Home Office ministers a hard time here for many things, but in their defence, not one of them has ever ordered the Identity & Passport Service to mail out passports in envelopes that might as well be printed with the words ‘Important identity document enclosed: please steal’.
