What the fuck has happened to this country? Fucking Heseltine is being a better anti-fascist then the Labour prime minister. I regret that I've lived long enough to see this, it's despairing.

Famous Last Words: Dr Jane Goddall was extremely moving. We must continue the fight against fascism and climate destruction in her absence.

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it namesโ€ฆ her.

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel A review of seven yearsโ€™ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

Cancelling Game Pass was a no-brainer for me. Just as easy as it was to cancel Disney Plus.

Everybody has enormous backlogs already. Who needs it?

Ohioโ€™s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

when I worked in an independent bookstore, the owner told me the most stolen book was one about getting your first period and if I saw anyone walking out with it, I should just let them go.

I'm avoiding all reviews for GHOST OF YOTEI but the screenshots I'm seeing -- good lord. It looks gorgeous. Look at this (from Barry O'Rourke's Twitter account)?!

โ€œFascismโ€ isnโ€™t a slur for politics we donโ€™t like. Itโ€™s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of whatโ€™s happening right now in America, itโ€™s the most honest one we have.

Iโ€™ll lay it out as plainly as I can. ๐Ÿงต

One of the constant strands in the history of the university, dating back to its medieval origins, is the attempt of authorities - especially religious authorities but not exclusively - to control what can and cannot be taught.
