The first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn’t on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor. It was the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when white supremacists flew a dozen planes to drop turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs on Black Americans.

There is a lot of wiggle room here. In both directions.
Interesting this is the guidance US troops have to go on for deciding on legality of orders.
“the Court Martial Manual defines it as an order which any ordinary person would know in their gut were wrong or were a violation of international or domestic law.”

I highly recommend Novara Media Live podcasts - covering stuff that mainstream media often barely mentions. @novaramedia The 20th Nov one has good stats on how climate protestors are being targeted, & fascinating interview with woman prosecuted after interaction with her MP.

We must support (Judeo-) Christianity and/or Israel because they are Western Civilisation's bulwark against the evil Muslim hordes, apparently. You find this idea cropping up in all sorts of places now, from Richard Dawkins to Benjamin Netanyahu.

It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

So many well-educated people I know are unaware of this about chiropractors and I’m always too embarrassed / polite / English to mention it. Like when I bite my tongue when people talk about “alternative” medicine for serious, terminal illness
AARRGH. CHIROPRACTIC IS NOT MEDICINE, IT’S DANGEROUS BULLSHIT CREATED BY A FUCKING GROCER WHO THOUGHT HE COULD HEAL WITH MAGNETS. WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA
Oh good, they left Chiropractors as professionals but not Nurses, NPs, PA’s or physical therapists
That’s infuriating

In order to book driving test in the UK, you need to be up 6am Monday with multiple devices & log on to website. Just like buying Glastonbury tickets, there is then a slim chance you will be successful. Or you can pay a tout (my friend can get a test by paying £450).
