I may post about beer, food, football, politics and scepticism. Unsavioury and Against all Gods equally. Not a real Notts fan, according to Dougie.

In November 2013 a Ukrainian protest comprising thousands of college students became a Euromaidan of millions.

Normal men and women without strong political views faced down paramilitary thugs in the freezing cold.

Asked why, they said the same thing he does.

"They're beating our children."

Yup.

Prediction markets are interesting only to the extent that they are increasingly:

a) Reported on in the same breath as actual news coverage which shapes public perception;

b) Creating perverse incentives for insiders and decision makers;

c) Gamifying really serious/sensitive issues.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

They say "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys." But can it be true? It sounds amazing. I love monkeys. And I'm pretty sure I can get access to plenty of peanuts. I'm definitely going to look into this.

London’s Ramadan Lights are shining once again in the West End. A beautiful celebration of the holy month and a reminder that our city is a beacon of hope, unity, and inclusivity.

A city where diversity is a strength, and where everyone is loved and wanted βœ¨πŸ’›

Nick Fuentes: β€œThe number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

And just like that, Gilead was no longer dystopian fiction.

β€œJust like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.”

Also, why β€˜psychodrama’ is just a 21st Century synonym for a classic establishment-engineered scandal: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
