I stand in the shallows and shout at people. I may step on you, but would regret it, as I always pay for the funerals. The logo here is a concept for fan merch for a British Coastal Station, hand painted (freehand!) on a T shirt by my kid.

We’re Finally Seeing the “Evidence” Against the Migrants Deported by Trump. It’s Unbelievable. flip.it/w9I3VK Folks with ANY tattoo were lawlessly deported & imprisoned in El Salvador—under “color of law”. This DOJ won’t obvi prosecute these 18 USC 242 crimes…but states could (for state crimes)!

Performative cruelty: It achieves nothing. Except the approval of a bunch of people the government is supposed to protect you from.

As I wake to the 81st day of the Fall of the American Empire, the question I contemplate: Which version of "Hurt" is more appropriate as a soundtrack to the decline? The Johnny Cash cover, or the Nine Inch Nails original? 🤔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHC...

Didn't he write a guide to upholstery masturbation under the title Hillbilly Elegy (Is this him? I don't really follow high culture)? Such a person using the term peasant to describe others is a bit whacked.

Keir Starmer said yesterday: “Labour is the party of work. We shouldn’t shrug our shoulders as millions are unable to work.” Stop creating a false binary. Clinician here: cutting £5–6k from disabled people isn’t help—it’s wilful abandonment and many will die. #WelfareNotWorkfare

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

In defending Rishi Sunak's non-disclosure of his financial interests, in appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner in name only, and in arguing against the public interest in transparency, the Cabinet Office is a leopard which hasn't changed its spots. And you really ought to ask, 'why?'
