New post just out:

"Never again?"

On how the radical right are trying to change our collective memory about World War Two as part of their assault on the postwar order.

And why that memory remains a critical defence against nationalism.

Ah, ok, thanks. The same nonsense as the "Stop the War" crowd

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

Financial Times headline says “critics accuse” Trump of extrajudicial killings

The role of President in Ireland is largely ceremonial, with no real political power

So when the owners of vast corporations talk about people living in space, what they're talking about is people living in space *who are utterly dependent on their vast corporation for every single thing*

"fascist supporting" and "far-left"??

From: goss.ie/news/everyth...

"Known for her principled and progressive approach to politics, she has long been an advocate for social justice, climate action, housing rights, and political accountability"

I'm not that up on Irish politics, what am I missing?

And another thing...

I think the Scandies, with their hygge, etc, disprove your assertion that because the Brits essentially live inside, we're less oriented towards community and extended family

In US and UK, long drawn-out judicial processes that often turn on painstaking examinations of evidence and elaborate rules of procedure are often called…

…’witch-hunts’.

Which really were the opposite, if you think about it.

Someone designed this.

Then someone approved it for production.

Then someone printed it.

Then someone bought it and attached it to their car.

Decal on the back of a van or truck window that shows a heart and a bone with words that read, "I my dog".

Does the owner love the dog or does the owner bone the dog?

Elon Musk Discovers What Hierarchy Actually Means

Elon Musk is having a very bad week. The man who bought Twitter for $44 billion to secure unaccountable power over public discourse is discovering what unaccountable power actually looks like when wielded by someone who understands dominance better than he does. Trump just stripped SpaceX of a government contract and handed it to Jeff Bezos. Musk’s response? Rage-tweeting at Trump officials, including the immortal question “why are you gay”—the rhetorical sophistication we’ve come to expect from the richest man-child on the planet having a public meltdown because Daddy won’t give him what he wants.
