When I studied abroad at Oxford during law school, it was a common thing for Americans to argue that the written US constitution was superior to the unwritten UK constitution because it's harder to ignore written rules.
I guess that argument is basically over now.

On BBC News they just spent five minutes talking to a Turning Point UK guy who spoke of Charlie Kirk's kindness and his passion for tackling "difficult subjects" in a way that other people just don't. He, quiveringly, said he'd seen horrible things said about Charlie in the past two days.
I don't like doing this. It feels fucked up to constantly point out the negative dimensions of someone who just died in a horrific, worrying way. But I would like the media to tell basic truths about this person and his impact on public life rather than resorting to euphemism and outright lies!

Generative AI is for people who don’t want to create art, they want to have created art. They want the kudos, the ego, the credit, without doing any of the work. They’re not interesting the art, they’re interested in being seen as an artist. It’s narcissism and ego, and nothing more.

Now the government has been foolish enough to ban expressing support for Palestine Action, it supposes it must follow through with manifestly unjust and pointless arrests. I wonder whether the riots last year radicalised Starmer in ways we haven’t grasped.

Gaza aid workers overwhelmed by ‘mass casualty incidents’ at food distribution sites
Doctors say hundreds have been wounded by Israeli gunfire while trying to reach convoys
Medical officials, humanitarian workers and doctors in Gaza say they have been overwhelmed by almost daily “mass casualty incidents” as they struggle to deal with those wounded by Israeli fire on Palestinians seeking aid.
Doctors said many of the casualties they are treating describe being shot as they try to reach distribution sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a secretive US- and Israel-backed organisation that began handing out food in late May. Continue reading...
