Sterling work from the presenter on Sky News just now, asking Paul, a local expert, on what the Vice President of Venezuela is like, and whether he’s a loyalist to Maduro or is likely to support regime change in the country.

Why on earth would Trump's action make China and Russia 'think twice'? Twice about what?

There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

Nigel Farage says allegations he said "Hitler was right" while a pupil at Dulwich College and "gas 'em all" to Jewish schoolmates are "maybe solidifying our core support".

Which is quite a revealing comment.

Again these people aren't patriots.

They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too.

Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Shenmue was mentioned at the #GameAwards by the Muppets of all people! They are true creatures of taste and know a thing or two about quality games!

This week has been one intense thrill ride of emotions and expectations for Shenmue fans and the community at large!

"To hold in my hand a device that holds such storage. To know that owning a Haircut 100 back catalogue on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to move the click wheel, would change the song. Yes! I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods!"

I had already come to the conclusion that I didn’t feel able to visit the US anymore, and if this happens I presumably wouldn’t be able to even if I wanted to.

I find this as sad as I do bizarre. I would never have imagined I could ever feel the way I do now about the United States of America.

I really cannot stand Corbyn, for so so many reasons, but this is a fair argument, and one which can be expanded to "if so and so had done this", just look at the meltdown Obama wearing a tan suit caused the American right.
Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists
The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.
