Professor Adrian Blau

This from Bernard Williams, cited by @artsofdenial.bsky.social (books.google.fr/books?id=NW6...) doesn't reflect very well on Habermas (that is, the urge to put people in boxes).

From Frederick Douglass’s Narrative. It’s full of passages like this. I’m thinking increasingly about the joy in which some take in inflicting pain and misery on others as a sense of domination. And I fear it explains so much.

Pope Leo XIV Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal Austin I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Congratulations!

Kuten kuuluukin.

One paradox of our fragmented politics is that Labour going directly after Reform may make defeat to Reform more likely, if such a strategy alienates progressives who have exit options but doesn’t win any reform voters, who will generally prefer OG Farage to a half-hearted tribute act

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone

Farage plan to save £234bn from migrant benefit cuts 'falling apart' True size of savings under Reform's immigration policy in doubt as it emerges 4.2m EU nationals would be exempt from

A poorly thought out, vindictive and completely unworkable policy by Reform UK fell apart the moment it brushed up against reality?

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

It’s almost as though they have, yet again, proven they are not in any way or form a serious party.

For the umpteenth time, this bears absolutely no relationship to law enforcement or border control. This is brownshirt thuggery.

Weekend Update #151: The Most Revealing Military Development Of The Last Month The Ukrainian Attacks On Refineries Continue: Is US Intelligence Changing Its Tune?

Hi All, Just released my latest free weekend update. The big story of the last month was not the original Russian infiltration near Pokrovsk--but the speed and effectiveness with which Ukraine reacted to it. The Russian military could not do what the Ukrainians did. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

Sorry!

Great article, though!

Excellent article about the incoming civil rights nightmare facilitated by the UK’s Online “Safety” Act. US fascists are already trying to use it against free speech.

(Annoyingly, the article lacks spaces on either side of dashes, which are thus almost indistinguishable from hyphens.)

One of my least Blueskyist opinions is that there should be more conservatives in academia, as well as the Arts.

There should be more liberals and socialists in the military and police, as well as more trans columnists.

Intellectual diversity is good in itself, not only for representation reasons

And Portugal announces they are buying French jets rather than F-35s. Great idea to send Vance and Don Jr on a scouting mission as a precursor to a Greenland takeover.

This is wonderful.

The finest visual demonstration of Brexit that you will ever see.

This is 100% going to be used to put ICE agents outside polling stations in areas where they want to suppress the vote.
