Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people.
You could call it wink murder.

Across the entire planet, from Ireland to Costa Rica, livestock farming has been an utter catastrophe for forests and other natural habitats, replacing unimaginably species-rich ecosystems with sterile cattle or sheep pastures.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth.
Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like.
People underestimate the Pacific.

Recently, I released a universal visualizer and analyzer for JavaScript and CSS called `sonda`.
It works with @vite.dev, Rollup, esbuild, webpack, and @rspack.bsky.social and is more accurate than some existing tools.
