Ill-tempered Auntie haunting Rhode Island. Wrote books and stuff on history of science and medicine. Dual national USA and UK. Here for the jokes and world news. No, that’s The Dutchman’s book cover not mine. I just like the picture.

This seems much less a Labour victory than it does a protest vote against the status quo. Still, we'll take it.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

Dementia vs Old Guy with Jet Lag. No contest for the rational voter if those are the choices. What we really need is people who at least vote their own best interests. Fascists aren’t into reason, tragically. And there’s the problem.

i have largely stopped arguing about this on social media because it isn’t fruitful, but this finding gets to why you should be skeptical of theories that try to sideline or excise race from an explanation of the white rural turn toward reactionary politics news.cornell.edu/stories/2024...

A can of pepper spray might be the answer, especially to protect a small dog (and yourself). I'm sad that municipal indifference means one must be 'a good guy with a gun,' but there it is. One could be 'a good guy with a lawyer' too, if one knows who let their savage monsters run loose.
