This from Bernard Williams, cited by @artsofdenial.bsky.social (books.google.fr/books?id=NW6...) doesn't reflect very well on Habermas (that is, the urge to put people in boxes).

From Frederick Douglass’s Narrative. It’s full of passages like this. I’m thinking increasingly about the joy in which some take in inflicting pain and misery on others as a sense of domination. And I fear it explains so much.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Congratulations!

One paradox of our fragmented politics is that Labour going directly after Reform may make defeat to Reform more likely, if such a strategy alienates progressives who have exit options but doesn’t win any reform voters, who will generally prefer OG Farage to a half-hearted tribute act

If you voted for him, you've done this.

"would"

"shows"

They've lost the 9yos

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone

A poorly thought out, vindictive and completely unworkable policy by Reform UK fell apart the moment it brushed up against reality?

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

It’s almost as though they have, yet again, proven they are not in any way or form a serious party.

For the umpteenth time, this bears absolutely no relationship to law enforcement or border control. This is brownshirt thuggery.

Hi All, Just released my latest free weekend update. The big story of the last month was not the original Russian infiltration near Pokrovsk--but the speed and effectiveness with which Ukraine reacted to it. The Russian military could not do what the Ukrainians did. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

Sorry!

Great article, though!

Excellent article about the incoming civil rights nightmare facilitated by the UK’s Online “Safety” Act. US fascists are already trying to use it against free speech.

(Annoyingly, the article lacks spaces on either side of dashes, which are thus almost indistinguishable from hyphens.)

One of my least Blueskyist opinions is that there should be more conservatives in academia, as well as the Arts.

There should be more liberals and socialists in the military and police, as well as more trans columnists.

Intellectual diversity is good in itself, not only for representation reasons

And Portugal announces they are buying French jets rather than F-35s. Great idea to send Vance and Don Jr on a scouting mission as a precursor to a Greenland takeover.

This is wonderful.
