Started something with Discworld I have never done before.

I am planning on running them all on Audible.

In publication order, from Colour of Magic to Shepherd's Crown.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Historians on my phone. Can you think of an example in the past where leaving troops unpaid worked out?

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week
House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period. Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

A US friend checks in with me to see if W Europeans will need explanations on who or what specific US terms are when he writes. Yesterday he asked me how crazy ‘Europeans*’ think the US is. This was in relation to the UN designated genocide in Gaza.

I had to explain I had bad news for him. [1]

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

Scottish Blend for me. I take some from time to time to my mum it works better with the water in Devon than most of the teas at Tesco.

Last night, Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf were called fascists on prime-time BBC. Call me sentimental, but I think the UK is a slightly better place today.

The Overton window shifted in our favour for once.

"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History"

Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

Durov forgot to mention Russia and the UAE (both of which he is a citizen of), as well as many major countries, including China and India.

Why does he keep attacking the West and only the West?

They were actively recruiting Hungarians working in Brussels since donkeys years, I'm glad y'all caught up with the past fifteen-twenty years

Bombshell investigation shows that Hungary's Russia-alligned Orban regime has been running an espionage network in Brussels, recruiting and infiltrating among the highest levels of foreign governments.
