him: “Is the dog ok?”

Lies in politics are bad. That doesn’t make Wales’ new plan to criminalize them a good idea.
The power to define truth, falsity, and even “misleading” statements — and issue criminal sanctions in the process — is one far too dangerous to give to authorities.

Culture of fear at the Guardian.

"Exclusive: Jewish Guardian staff ‘gaslit’ over ‘progressive antisemitism’ in Gail’s column" "Journalists claimed that internal dissent ‘fell on deaf ears’ and that there is a ‘culture of fear’ about raising objections to the paper’s reporting" thejc.com/news/uk/jewish…

Everyone thinks this is because of active discrimination right?

Harvard used to have a cap on Jews. It appears the university has fewer Jewish students now than it did then.

Surprising exactly no one who's been watching Tucker Carlson in recent years
Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV)@TheMilkBarTV
🚨 Tucker Carlson disgustingly defends 1930s British fascist Oswald Mosley - who was so aligned with the Nazis that he married at Joseph Goebbels’ house in Berlin, with Adolf Hitler as a guest - even calling him “patriotic.” Carlson claimed Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Churchill, and that this is why he was arrested during World War II. To be clear: Mosley was a full-blown fascist. He received financial support from Mussolini, maintained close ties to Nazi Germany, and led the British Union of Fascists’ Blackshirts - a paramilitary-style group inspired by Mussolini’s movement, known for violence and for targeting Jewish communities. Mosley had previously served as a Member of Parliament from 1918 to 1931, initially as a Conservative and later as a Labour MP. However, after founding the British Union of Fascists in 1932 and embracing fascism, he was never again electorally viable or close to holding office. He was detained in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18B because the British government considered him a security risk with sympathies toward enemy powers - not because he was a credible political opponent. For Carlson to portray Mosley - an outspoken, Hitler-admiring fascist - as a war hero (which Tucker exaggerates), and to claim he was persecuted purely for political reasons, is deeply disturbing. The question has to be asked: does Tucker Carlson despise Churchill so much that he’s willing to defend a Nazi-aligned fascist like Mosley - or does he genuinely believe a Nazi-aligned fascist like Mosley was a patriot?

Danish quote: "We have not been in such a situation since April 1940" - referring to the Nazi invasion of World War 2.

If you wonder why Europeans flinch from helping US in Gulf - in January, NATO allies were seriously preparing for a US sneak attack on Greenland, planning to blow up runways to prevent a Trump re-enactment of Putin's failed strike on Kyiv.

Is it an image of Vitamin C, taken with polarised light?
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize
Can you guess what this picture is? It's an image of Vitamin C, taken with polarised light. Vitamin C led to both the 1937 medicine and chemistry prizes: to Albert von Szent-Györgyi, who first isolated it, and Norman Haworth for determining its molecular structure.

When I was working on Sideways (which was adapted from a book), I asked the director, Alexander if the book were any good. "No it sucks. You don't adapt great books. You adapt shitty books that have an interesting premise, or a kernel of something that you can exploit and improve. Good books don't make good movies. You have to build a screenplay from the ground up. And nobody is gonna be mad at me for changing the details of a Rex Pickett novel. But God help you if you try to change 2 words in the Lord of the Rings."
Brilliant dude.

Stories like these are why, for all my criticism of #MeToo overreach, I think there's a core that is worth supporting. It IS true that high-status/admired/influential sexual abusers were routinely protected by a wall of silence, & it's good that we're dismantling those walls.

Such a great show. Even if it completely knocked off the whole Breaking Bad dynamic of the investigator being close friends with the villain he’s chasing.

@karl_fh Hundreds of investment companies invest in Israeli tech, pharmaceutical, education, AI and robotics, and yes military firms (which keep Britain safe). But none of you boycott them, just Gail’s because it’s associated in your mind with Jewish owners (which isn’t true). Idiots!
