It's that time of year when I switch off the internet and do analogue stuff instead. Read some books, play some records, do some napping, that sort of thing.
Wishing you all a wonderful festive season.
End of February is the deadline for writing my book so might not be back till then.
Take care x

More of this kind of rich person, please.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The fact of the matter is that even if we removed all dehumanizing immigration restrictions, the vast majority of people would stay where they are because barring overwhelming danger most people don't like uprooting themselves to move to a strange place where they don't know anybody
Despite all the noise about “mass exodus”, 51% of African emigrants move within Africa. Only 3% of the African population lives outside their home country, compared to 8.5% of Europeans living outside theirs.

A great and damning report about egregious behavior by India’s film censor board. The piece focuses on director Honey Trehan, whose new film RAAT AKELI HAI: THE BANSAL MURDERS just released on Netflix today.
"At present, the number of cuts that have been demanded stands at 127."
Honey Trehan’s “Panjab ’95” lays bare a sweeping crackdown on cinema in India, writes Ishita Sengupta for @newlinesmag.bsky.social

Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively.
The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.
