A wee nod to the Bard, on what would have been his 267th birthday.
Burns Howff was a rock and blues music venue in Glasgow. It was located at 56 West Regent St in the city centre and established a reputation as the launch pad for many Scottish musicians.

Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian family in Birzeit in the occupied West Bank, injuring four Palestinians.
After the attack, the army arrested Palestinians, not the settlers. (1/3)

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The real problem is not that we are losing this battle, it is that we already lost it. With racist and fascist adjacent men in the very highest and most powerful offices in the world, they distribute the lies of fake science by these cosplayers with abandon, because it fits their ideologies.

Western countries are hitting refugees twice: they are making it harder to claim asylum *and* they are cutting aid to troubled regions.

The average winter temperature inside a British house in the early 1970s was 12C. And probably considerably colder 50, 100 or 150 years before then when more people relied on hearths. I usually find it implausible in historical movies set in eg a medieval castle if actors strip off for a sex scene 🥶
Was intrigued, rereading the wonderful The Ghost of Thomas Kempe, to find somebody’s house having central heating being noted as remarkable. In 1973!
And indeed, only about 30 percent of UK homes would have had central heating when the book was published.

Three errors here. First, in confusing some kind of SEND classification (20%) with EHCPs (5.5%).
Secondly in assuming it gives automatic right to DLA. Though there is a strong ECHP/DLA overlap.
Third in assuming that those moving to DLA to PIP never work (it's not an out of work benefit).

"1 in 5 pupils are getting a SEND diagnosis..the vast majority then trip into the benefit system because they get child disability allowance allowance.'
This is completely false from Milburn. He's supposed to be reviewing this issue and he's just making things up. Inexcusable.

If all this is really about bolstering Greenland's capabilities, as Graham is claiming, why is the White House so angry about other NATO states bolstering Greenland's capabilities? And why couldn't the US have done it within existing frameworks that allow for a US military presence?

Not the most important thing but it's vexing that Zizek's crappy mistranslation of Gramsci has become a zombie quote.
Gramsci said "in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear" not "you live in a time of monsters".
