pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

I’m quietly proud of the way that Irish presidents since Mary Robinson have evolved an honorary role into one where, precisely because they have no direct political power, into one of national conscience and ethical expression. Easy to say when I’ve been gone a long time but we see it from abroad.

Derek Guy’s sartorial torpedoes never miss.
Jeff Bezos appears to be wearing the wrong waistcoat for his wedding. This is a dinner suit (aka a tuxedo) and thus requires a dress waistcoat, which is cut lower on the body. He's wearing a business vest, which is designed for business suits. Needs a formal waistcoat like the one on the right.

Funny. Never heard this song before but it made me think of the Austin Powers soundtrack. Checked it out and lo and behold: Broadcast have a song on it. I can only assume I’m some kind of musical genius.
Hey party people! What's your favourite PARTY TRACK? I don't give an oscillating fuck, obviously. My favourite PARTY TRACK is Come On, Let's Go by Broadcast.

Malgré le rapport accablant présenté, jeudi, par la cheffe de la diplomatie européenne, Kaja Kallas, sur les infractions au droit international commis par le gouvernement de Benyamin Nétanyahou, les Vingt-Sept ne s’accordent pas sur une éventuelle suspension de l’accord d’association avec l’Etat hébreu. La décision est repoussée à la mi-juillet.

Agreed! I didn’t know I wanted this til I read Tom’s post.
What I want is a TV documentary channel entirely devoted to documentaries with no quick-cut montages of everything about to happen, which don't give a fuck about keeping my attention, presented by extremely knowledgeable people in a terrible mood who have no interest in trying to make me like them.
