Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

So a couple of questions:

How strong are the "oh brother where art thou" vibes, do I need to push them harder?

How many hours do you think a group will get out of playing the adventure?

Tonight's Dolmenwood sees a story of two or three true loves and fish. Will there be blood in the water?

It is very concerning, to say the least. The step up in the severity in harassment is non-trivial.

Labour's copying of Reform policy doesn't pull voters away from reform, it legitimise them.

Over on the book of faces I literally just saw that happen in real time!

Looked like a majority left audience to me. Not the first time either. Ask away by all means yet if Reform are that bad why are other parties stealing thier ideas etc. Vote for other parties other than Reform. That is the tactic isn't it. Less votes to them so Labour can sneak past.

Tomorrow night, we head to the Dolmenwood once more. Will the brave adventurers keep up the fishing or are more serious exploits afoot after the source of a mysterious ailment has been guessed at, after a midnight stakeout. Stakeout being a plump friar in bed.

Woodcut showing a fisherman harvesting a catch of pike. The birds in the upper right of the picture are probably sea birds, indicating that fishing took place in late spring and early summer. The buildings in the upper part of the picture are possibly depictions of huts and storage buildings at a fishing camp (from Magnus [1555] 1982, 947).

Says CSIS, "the sudden decline in right-wing terrorism is both more striking and harder to explain" but actually it's not; right-wing kidnappings and attacks on civilian transports have increased dramatically but aren't categorized as "terrorism" because they now occur under the aegis of the state.

Public financial reactions to a failure in corporate moral choices generally aren’t reversible.

Sorry, Disney.

It’s not enough to reverse your fucking idiotic decision, you must fight the regime that demanded it. And you must do it publicly.

If not; enjoy irrelevancy.
