Watching American liberals talk about antifascism is...depressing...

They misunderstand the topic almost as badly as MAGA!

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

My first thought was โ€œwow I hope this guy didnโ€™t give out his name because he could absolutely be chargedโ€ and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This manโ€™s account is shocking. His neighborsโ€™ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

So a couple of questions:

How strong are the "oh brother where art thou" vibes, do I need to push them harder?

How many hours do you think a group will get out of playing the adventure?

Tonight's Dolmenwood sees a story of two or three true loves and fish. Will there be blood in the water?

It is very concerning, to say the least. The step up in the severity in harassment is non-trivial.

Looked like a majority left audience to me. Not the first time either. Ask away by all means yet if Reform are that bad why are other parties stealing thier ideas etc. Vote for other parties other than Reform. That is the tactic isn't it. Less votes to them so Labour can sneak past.

Labour's copying of Reform policy doesn't pull voters away from reform, it legitimise them.

Over on the book of faces I literally just saw that happen in real time!

Woodcut showing a fisherman harvesting a catch of pike. The birds in the upper right of the picture are probably sea birds, indicating that fishing took place in late spring and early summer. The buildings in the upper part of the picture are possibly depictions of huts and storage buildings at a fishing camp (from Magnus [1555] 1982, 947).

Tomorrow night, we head to the Dolmenwood once more. Will the brave adventurers keep up the fishing or are more serious exploits afoot after the source of a mysterious ailment has been guessed at, after a midnight stakeout. Stakeout being a plump friar in bed.

Says CSIS, "the sudden decline in right-wing terrorism is both more striking and harder to explain" but actually it's not; right-wing kidnappings and attacks on civilian transports have increased dramatically but aren't categorized as "terrorism" because they now occur under the aegis of the state.

www.csis.org/analysis/lef... This report is framed irresponsibly and distorts the reality of extremist violence. The header is that left-wing terror is on the rise, and of course that will be the bite-sized takeaway. (1)

Public financial reactions to a failure in corporate moral choices generally arenโ€™t reversible.

Sorry, Disney.

Itโ€™s not enough to reverse your fucking idiotic decision, you must fight the regime that demanded it. And you must do it publicly.

If not; enjoy irrelevancy.

...I am not normally someone who points people at fiction to understand a real world problem, but the case against univeral ID requirements in a digital world are made so clearly, and so viscerally, in Moxyland by Lauren Beukes that I feel I would be remiss if I didn't urge you all to read it.
