Unlike in the PA Elbit case, this jury was told why the activists targeted the factory: "the jury was also shown a social media post demonstrating that the activists’ goal was to disrupt the supply of UK-made fighter jet components to Israel." This is why Labour wants to end trial by jury.

I ran my modified call of cthulhu adaptation of Gallifrey: Square One for my ttrpg group and now at least one person is listening to Gallifrey lmao mission accomplished Side note: improv Narvin voice is hard

if the worst case is now 2.8 that translates to 2 is possible. what I don't see a lot also in climate talk is drawdown. we could become not only carbon neutral but actually carbon negative and reverse warming. emissions are already dropping due to high solar adoption. things look good.

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

I’ve started playing Pathologic 1 and literally have a obsidian document open tracking what all the characters say about everyone else because after dozens of hours in Pathologic 2 and 3 there’s still like 60% that’s impenetrable

Babylon 5 is so fuckin good. the way they're taking this guy who was shitty and gross at the beginning and making him into the only one who's trying to stop the extremely bad stuff that's going on and taking this goofy pompous dude and making him a villain... JMS the GOAT

"Israel’s greatest victory to date may be the reality distortion that it’s managed to create around its war on Lebanon, even as it’s killed 1,500 people and laid claim to its land." And buying Israel's propaganda, while learning nothing from the #GazaGenocide, may be the west's greatest failure.

I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening now is an invasion. This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention. @CaroleCadwalladr for the Nerve Link 🔽

I had a nightmare last night about my house starting to burn from an electrical fire, frantically shutting off circuit breakers as flames started erupting from behind light switch covers and outlets in the middle of the night. Means nothing I’m sure 👍

It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.

Wisconsin liberals have just won another state Supreme Court election, in what is shaping up to be a blowout. Importantly: Liberals are now sure to hold a majority on this court during the 2028 cycle and through at least 2030. New in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

Dr Who - the time travel show that can deliver new episodes, from 61 years ago. Camfield directing a Nation script. Nick Courtney. Hartnell looking right at us and saying 'Daleks!'. Other fans get easter eggs, we get resurrections.

Great article. I particularly liked(?) this part, about the way manosphere talking points were used to justify the shooting of Renée Good at the very highest levels of the US gov. Reactions that say "duh, the right was always misogynist!" while not untrue, miss the point. This is escalating

To explain Good's death to enlist the MAGA faithful in justifying or even relishing it - the New Right, including the White House and its propagandists, treated her as a synecdoche for everything they believe to be wrong with modern women: that they are dismissive of male authority, liberal and smug, delinquent as mothers, and, as a corollary, mentally unstable.

The message, Anna says, was this: "She deserved it. She deserved it. She deserved it."

For the movement, says Kaschuta, Good's transgression was her failure to know her place. From their perspective, she says, "she was foolishly trying to embody masculinity" by engaging in politics, being assertive.

Pedro Gonzalez, another recent apostate from the New Right, who in 2021 received the prestigious Lincoln Fellowship from the Claremont Institute in the same class as Charlie Kirk, agrees with Anna and Kaschuta that, as he puts it, "misogyny is baked into the movement itself." He went on: "They've adopted a caricature of traditional values where, if women don't stay at home, if women don't stay out of politics, well, they might get shot."

Female defectors say the MAGA movement has dropped the pretense of protecting women and now demands submission while ‘advertising it will be cruel and fickle.’
