This thing where everybody knows that @thenyt.bsky.social has an editorial line that it advocates for and adheres to, and also everybody pretends to get really offended if you point that out, is getting really tedious.

~15% of people who die in front of you can be brought back to life if high-quality CPR is started immediately. It’s a skill that you definitely want to have.

Have written up some of my thoughts about the increasingly sinister use of 'non-UK born' and 'white British' in the British press. The obsession with 'white British' citizens over other British citizens harms all of us and needs to be called out. benansell.substack.com/p/who-counts

Congrats to Kallas for making what I am certain will turn out to be the single largest rhetorical contribution to the cause of Irish neutrality in at least a decade. They'll be talking about this one for years

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

Ah yes, if there's one thing about humanitarian law and the laws of war, it's that they are not at all universal and don't apply when you're fighting "bad guys"

“In the US, diplomatic agreements are scrutinized. The weaknesses that inevitably result from compromise are highlighted, debated and assessed — and rightly so. But as its decisions to go to war in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq attest, military options are routinely held to a much lower standard.”

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Merz's 'dirty work' remark is appalling (as is the apparent quiet approval by other Europeans). It's like people openly admit that this whole 'rules-based thing' is just a pretense.
