We seriously need to tackle this as if it's a war. We need a mobilization on that scale. And the best thing about it would be that it's a war we win not through death and destruction, but by just . . . becoming a better society, better human beings.

Trump’s EPA wants to lift a ban on asbestos. Asbestos is banned in over 50 countries due to comprehensive research showing that it causes cancer. This is another policy move that will make America sicker.

A lot of liberal haters who know nothing about space travel are mocking the SpaceX launch pad explosion but actually it's all science. For instance we learned from this that it's bad for the rocket to blow up before we even do anything to it.

Apparantly countries like Ireland and Spain don't have a say in whether or not the EU backs the murder of countless Iranian families to make itself feel better about backing the murder of countless Palestinian families. For what it's worth (nothing) the attacks on Iran are illegal.

Visiting the battlefield of Waterloo makes you really think about the fight there differently. For a start, it never gets mentioned how they apparently had to fight the whole thing round a giant conical hill with a giant Lion statue on top. Makes you think.

When Joseph Lister began advocating germ theory in the 19th century, his critics ridiculed him. One man would walk into the operating theatre, slam the door, and say: "There, Mr. Lister's germs can't get in!" Never thought when I was writing THE BUTCHERING ART that we'd be backsliding into the past.

I am so sick of seeing people respond to anti-war posts with "so you want Iran to have nuclear weapons?" Believe it or not, there are lots of ways to prevent nuclear proliferation that don't include starting wars. The choices are not limited to "bomb residential buildings" or "nuclear armageddon."

Landlords will soon be allowed to hike rents to so-called "market rates" between tenancies, risking massive rent increases. In the worst housing crisis this state has ever seen, the government is lifting rent controls—paving the way for even more profits for landlords & developers. #SpéirGhorm
