There is no “high command” of the global drug economy that can order growers, traffickers, money launderers, dealers, and users to lay down their arms in an organized surrender. We have been applying a war paradigm against an enemy who is literally incapable of surrender. It’s a forever war.

The “war on drugs” began as a metaphor, but the “war” part quickly became all too literal.

The recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize will be announced by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday October 10. US president Donald Trump has repeatedly touted his suitability to become a Nobel laureate, including claiming that he has “stopped seven wars.”

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

There should be a word for a huge but pointless event, such as a leader making announcements in a conference speech that will never be implemented and which not even the faithful will pay any attention to because the leader will be gone in a matter of months.

Gonna be amazing at next year's Tory conference when they just describe 2025 as "the gas leak conference".

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.
