The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Just started on this little number, it’s about the CIA’s plan to smuggle banned books behind the iron curtain during the Cold War.
I was struck by the irony of America now banning books in schools. Perhaps the Russians could now smuggle books into America?
Thumb added to pic for scale.

bumblebees are inspirational creatures. Everyone who sees them thinks they have no business flying, science agrees they have no business flying, and they fly everywhere anyway because they want to fly and don't give a damn what you think.

Be a bumblebee

Today is the 60th anniversary of the death of Margaret Dumont, a seasoned actress who endured every affront the Marx Brothers hurled at her as their foil. Dumont died knowing she'd be falsely accused of not getting the jokes:
"That was the job, you dumb assholes," she rasped at the end. "Christ."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

If you don’t have a library card go get one. Even if you don’t plan on using it right away, go get one. Keep our libraries alive.

One of the coolest things about publishing a book in Norway is that the gov will automatically buy 1k copies, 1.5K if its a children's book, these will then be distributed to all the libraries.

Great piece - Paddy Smyth in the @IrishTimes - Russia is blatantly interfering in European elections, mostly without much response, with many other forms of attack employed too.

Russia has been at war with the EU for a decade. It’s time to stop the denialism +confront the enemy.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

The great thing about reading, in addition to all its other virtues, is that once the little tykes are able to do it on their own, it's an easy and inexpensive form of childcare.
