I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?
On holiday, I notice that there are wind turbines on the shore of Lake Garda, which very much makes me think that residents with a view of some incredibly mid Cotswold or other can put a sock in it.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe.

If you had a 15 year old who said this to you and seemed to believe it, you’d be up all night panicking about what it’s going to cost you in tutors to get them into the 2nd-to-last ranked public university in your state.

Big blue states with big cities have been consistent “givers” to the US Treasury while Alabama is a longtime “taker” of funds, speaking of living off the American taxpayer. @sentuberville.bsky.social is the resource sucking ghoul, not big blue cities. You’re welcome, Tommy.
This from Tommy Tuberville may be the most racist things a U.S. senator has said in my lifetime. And the bar is high.

Bombing a sovereignty country in violation of international law is indeed an act of war, not a form of peace.

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."
Peroration from Robert Jenrick’s speech at the Roger Scruton conference today:
“In the words of George Orwell, ‘nothing ever stands still. We must add to our heritage, or lose it. We must grow greater or grow less. We must go forward or backward.’ I say, let’s go forward.”

In case any Republican had any doubts or qualifications on whether the US is fighting a war against Iran, Trump is clearing that up for you today. And he just got done bombing Yemen for a month. And for 3 years they called us warmongers for supporting Ukraine.
