I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

Isherwood’s clear & simple writing — describing the 1930s unfold — is superb. And, as @davidallengreen.bsky.social points out, the parallels for us today are real.

Imo “Nigel Farage doesn’t believe in Covid vaccines” would tank his polling if more people knew about it (though you could say that for a number of his policies)
Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

Fifty million Brits had a Covid vaccine.
The speed at which they were developed is one of the success stories of the last 25 years.
Farage took to the airwaves today to say they were not real vaccines.
This might be a popular view in the MAGA movement, but it's not where the British public is.
