The Crime of Witness | Fintan O’Toole Renée Good and Alex Pretti were murdered for daring to interfere with the Trump administration’s efforts to normalize abductions and state violence.

"If the murder of Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis cannot be called murder, an authoritarian regime has passed one of its crucial tests: it can reverse all meanings, turning the ultimate moral transgression upside down..." www.nybooks.com/online/2026/...

How hard can it be to give these national heroes an actual date for the meeting you promised on BBCBreakfast four months ago?

It’s certainly more fun than the last night of the previous system……and probably 80% of the 5th game nights of it too …….and about 40% of it’s 4th games as well. I know this because I’m no longer offered free tickets at Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs for CL games once qualification was assured.

David Fincher’s ZODIAC (2007) returns to the PCC next Sunday 8th Feb in our big screen at 7:45pm. A meticulous descent into obsession - where a killer taunts the city and slowly consumes those trying to catch him.

Minneapolis ICE killings: A moment MAGA can’t lie its way out of? | The News Agents MAGA claims Alex Pretti was a danger to ICE agents who shot him dead on the street in Minneapolis – but social media footage tells a different story. Is this the moment disinformation from the Trump…

"People have their eyes and ears via so many mobile phones which is making it impossible for the administration to lie in the way that they are used to doing," says Emily Maitlis.

I really like the idea of this. Forgive my non gamer naivety but is it playable on an iPad? The only games I’ve ever played are Football Manager for 25yrs and Mafia for a few months so my knowledge is extremely limited. Be gentle.

Maaaaan I can’t get enough of these classic noir book/film add ons. Is this on kindle?

RIP. One of the greats. Discovered him on the Shelves of the original Murder One on Charing Cross Road, London.

Things are getting so crazy over there and it’s earlyish over here and drink was taken last night and I’m probably misquoting Dylan anyway but “Sometimes it gets so hard to tell”.
