Aspiring author, reluctant world traveller, and very lazy analyst. I support the law. Someone has to. It won't support itself. Don't make me analyse; you will not be able to stop me.

... Okay, so, not great but does anyone else think it's kind of weird they were just getting around to it now?

Okay, but for real, antelope horns are dramatically underutilised for our purposes. I foresee a few minor problems during mating season, but nothing more grant money couldn't solve.

Has the Professor ever before drawn the direct ire of people who are not just more powerful than he is, but are also exceptionally willing to screw him over out of spite? Or would this be a first for him? I mean, I'm sure Bluto and Brutus have punched him before.

There are very few people, blessedly few, in this world who don't just make it worse but deliberately set out to do so—to look at it and say, "I am going to screw this planet up. My plan is to leave it in a worse state than I found it."

Well, Russia welcomes immigrants. Granted, to sent them to Ukraine so they can be shot at or shipped to the EU bordera to cause trouble.
Not sure what immigration to China looks like; the Japanese hate it but are improving.
Anyway, Biden has problems.

Gaelic is fairly simple to pronounce. I'm fairly sure it's just Arm binacht byoltina. I've also heard beannacht as beenach and bannat, and left to myself I'd pronounce Bealltain as Beawtina, which is wrong but is how I hear the Irish LL. Just means 'A Beltane Blessing'.

As arguments her being a racist go, "I hate all immigrants equally regardless of race, religion, colour or sex" is a novel one."

Friends, I love that some of you care about the ocean and want to help conserve it But when experts tell you "please don't say demonstrably factually incorrect things," please don't reply "I am raising awareness!" Saying wrong things is absolutely not raising awareness of anything.

Keep in mind that protests win through being cracked down on more often than they win just by being annoying. Martyrs make great poster boys. Sucks at the blunt end — but these people were peacefully protesting, engaged in protected speech and the riot cops were brought in. Remember this rage.

The Roman Catholic Church, like many religious institutions in the west, is skewing towards its traditional wing as the left drops out in what quickly becomes a vicious cycle.

Protesting changes things! In China! Kind of! No, it's not directly applicable, but still, I did not see this ending well and I'm going to take this win.

So... Twitter is just adding people to my followed list. Verified people, of course. I have never followed Jacob Rees-Mogg. I wish everyone I follow would leave Twitter and I could delete my account there. I haven't posted in three years. I literally just follow some artists and news sites.

It's the greatest threat to British-Irish relations in less than five years. We should put up a sign. 'Years since last quarrel between London and Dublin over London doing something stupid.' We will literally never move the century mark from 0.

I'm going to say, "good," and then, "I hope the ocean swallow your entire caste-based petro-state", and then, "wait, the flood only cost $545 freedom to fix and people abandoned their cars?" Anyway, climate change is real. Even in Dubai, I guess.

The answer is obvious — let's ask the question louder until they either change it or say it out loud. Hamas' crimes are widely publicised – let's have an open conversation about Israel's reaction and its proportionality. Then, let's ride unicorns to a democratic Russia, I guess.

Good fucking question — incel attacks on women are definite acts of terrorism.
Then again, and an argument could be made that so are Nazis marching down a street. ASIO does spend a great deal of time on religious extremism. And Islam especially.
I wonder why.
