This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

I love watching fancy food shows where a famous chef will say something like β€œit’s universally acknowledged that chocolate is delicious. And it was my goal to change that. I wanted to challenge you, to make you question if you even wanted chocolate in your mouth”

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

Of course, it is unlawful.

Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.

Of course, it is stupid.

Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.

And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

I think dressing as a lizard and stomping on a scale model of Tokyo would fix me.

A good friend of mine writes these. And if the idea of contemporary, queer and politically sharp Moriarty stories appeals, you should too.

Hospitals, man. That antibacterial smell that’s somehow the grottiest scent on earth.

Everything is functional, sturdy and worn.

I mean, it it took unambiguous, published evidence of crime against the state (as opposed to the mountains of evidence of crimes against children and women) for anything to happen, but it’s nice to see.

I think the UK is not *quite* as polarised as the US. No one is claiming a political attack.

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
