The new Borders Bill hits the next stage in Parliament this week. It's a set of new laws that repeat the same mistakes we've seen time and time again. If you want laws that protect, not punish, people seeking safety, join our fight for asylum rights at: fighttheantirefugeelaws.org/new-borders-...

Today's forgotten computer: The Hyperion. Launched the same year as the Compaq portable, but couldn't match it in IBM compatibility (both on software and disk drives). So ultimately failed. A bit of a "what if" moment. If it had won that battle, Canada would have been the home to IBM's main rival.

Great piece of insightful, detailed reporting here by @johnhyde.bsky.social on the state of just one court building. A lot of what he says here can be said of many courts. A micro story making a macro point. Our local court system is in a state of collapse. www.lawgazette.co.uk/news-focus/i...

Nazi salutes are having a moment. Our critic weighs in. Steve Bannon’s offered precise form worthy of 1930s Germany, but Elon Musk’s honored the drug-fueled mania of the original Nazis.

Much garbling of constitutional history in this piece. Ireland was not administered by the Home Office in the C19, it was pretty famously still run by the Viceroy and Chief Secretary. After partition, NI was initially under the Colonial Office (cue Unionist ire): www.irishnews.com/opinion/bria...
