All the toxic senescence of a Tiberius.

...and Open Access shouldn't deny authors the right to make a living from their work. Academics expected to create content for nothing is a scam.

Following on from my post about my husband rescuing toads from under a grate.

Yes, yes, but how many lines of Charlie can he get through before tea-time?
Perhaps this conflict would be better resolved by a televised Nepo snort-off.

A *reneactment*? That's not going to kill anybody whomsoever 🙄

Green Party of England and Wales members - Support Ukraine at Spring Policy Conference 🙏

Sir Thumbsaloft 👍👍 zimmerframes to the rescue. Welp, I wouldn't begrudge Macca success with this.

The story behind the BBC refusing to air a documentary about Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film. Why?

My critics want silence – but advocating for peace is what democracy demands A week ago, I attended the apolitical Stop The War Coalition protest in Parliament Square alongside hundreds of fellow protesters. Since then,…

Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.

Well, we're going to find out the hard way anyhow.

Iran war: What is happening on day eight of US-Israel attacks? At least 1,332 people have been reported killed in US-Israeli attacks on Iran since launch of war on February 28.

It's not an armchair spectator sport in our household, my partner's American.
It's equally grisly when a contingent of Americans on here salivate at the prospect of the Troubles reigniting so's the IRA can educate Brit population some more with bombs and bullets. - I'll pass.

...but very grim though it was, it was also far more optimistic than present balance of power in US really warrants.

A de facto civil war in the US would ensue, and the MAGA civilians and MAGA-adjacent in military, police forces etc have practically all the guns .

I'm Gen X and neither I nor anyone I know says any of this.
I am of a generation though, many of whom retain the wit, manners and attention span not to make derogatory sweeping generalisations about others.

Logging in to provide further proof, so all the conservative influencers and “journalists” stop downplaying this.

Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald (who showed up to intimidate me) is a SELF-DESCRIBED Nazi.

Alex Vriend, who Western Standard platformed, is a SELF-DESCRIBED white nationalist.

Receipts.

Hannah Spencer won it, with the invaluable party machinery and 1000s of very committed hardworking grassroots activists, the same resource that buoys up Polanski and provides the wave he surfs on top of.

He good, but he's not the Messiah, and I don't subscribe to the Great Man theory of history.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

I don't support this US/Israel adventure at all, but it's interesting to see Iran's supply of Shaheds and their tech to Russia - with which to rain hell on Ukraine - earning its reward.

Way to make enemies, Khameneis. 🇺🇦

War crimes upon war crimes. And now ecocide and genocide, no?

And please call out the BBC for platforming Israeli lobbyists trying to goad us into their horrific war.
