And this... But I like what Viz Cartoonist Davey Jones did with it:

Spotted on Twitter: “Incredible to think that Sting once had sex for longer than Liz Truss was prime minister.”

Perhaps the most important thing is that she tried her best, had fun, and made some friends along the way.

It’s surely a sign of the endive days.

Been trying to think of examples of punk or post-punk bands doing covers of prog songs. The Fall certainly did two: ‘Strangetown’ by The Groundhogs and ‘War’ by Henry Cow.

Hawkwind were good. But maybe they don’t deserve to be categorised as prog.

What is interesting about Braverman is that the Triratna community with which she is affiliated emphasise a meditative practice called metta-bhavana, which basically consists of radiating loving-kindness to all sentient beings.* Additionally, a fundamental ethical precept that they are meant to...

That’s what I heard too. She was deliberately fast-tracked.

That’s a scary thought but I think you are right. We probably haven’t heard the last of her.

Have been wondering if she might have sent that email on purpose to give her a reason to resign so she could distance herself from Truss in the hope of getting a job from whoever's next.

Was about to post a link to that. It is extraordinary, like a mini Adam Curtis documentary, one that deserves to be watched in full.

This is why it might be seen as an example of CBT style catastrophising. It is still likely that the ruptures to life as we know it will be profound, eventually. Nevertheless, I disagree profoundly with the style of protest. An example of a much better way of going about things is the...

This is an interesting claim but it is not self-evidently true. And so (bearing in mind that I have no sympathy with this style of protest) it is worth looking at in a bit more depth. Morgan Trowland, of the protestors at Dartford Bridge has been quite explicit about his motivations: 'Your...

For the last four years of my career I had to teach Environmental Ethics. This was not an area of ethics that used to inspire me. But I always do a lot of additional reading for any topic, as stumbling across an additional idea or perspective that is not in any of the A level textbooks can...

This is a very interesting article that may help to answer the questions that you have posed. https://snyder.substack.com/p/how-does-the-russo-ukrainian-war?r=f9j4c&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Snyder is a Yale historian and familiar with Eastern Europe and its history. Without...

That's very interesting (really like Jon Ronson but didn't know about the podcast). The impression that I formed was based on reading Carol Sanger's book About Abortion that looks at the history of the abortion debate and specific cases post-Roe v Wade, and also an older book by Malise Ruthven...
