Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

I realise there is already a queue to buy a drink for the long-suffering local government official who wrote this. Please consider me part of that queue.

(The weight of the sigh on "We do not apply admiralty law" alone could tear a hole in the fabric of the universe.)

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.

How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.

To ensure graduates contribute effectively to the economy, the maximum post-study stay will be reduced to 18 months from the current 2 years for most from 1 January 2027. It comes after data clearly showed that many holders had not transitioned into graduate-level employment as intended.
Finance requirements for student visas will also be increased for the 2025 to 2026 academic year, meaning foreign students will have to demonstrate they have sufficient funds to support themselves.

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

I think the key to understanding Britain is that JK Rowling’s oddball fantasy about an elite class of special people - far apart from the scum mass of regular humans - being trained by mad, cruel bastards to be weird, unpleasant, superior judgy wankers, is more or less accurate.

I’m getting a sense here that of course the lads want to crack down on the avalanche of racism in our university hate factories, but maybe not if it involves arresting students who go to Oxford, because they are real people who actually matter.

I was pretty sure I wouldn't be done with my Halloween fic by the end of October before surgery, and now I'm certain it's going to be super delayed. But here is some amazing art I commissioned from @mossgroves.bsky.social of GB as the parents in Hocus Pocus!

Ed lost a bet, so Stede got to pick their costumes. Here they are at the Spanish Jackiez Karaoke Halloween Party dressed as thr parents in Hocus Pocus.

Right, so apparently there's also *Dracula* Unbound, where the same protagonist fights vampires and has a time machine in a train which sounds miles more fun but I also have no idea how he would get out of the events at the end of this story? I'm going to read it aren't I. 🤦🏼
