Superlative piece by Jonathan Liew. Mass migration driven by climate change is here; population movement will only increase as more of the world becomes uninhabitable. Unless we want genocide in the Mediterranean & the Channel, we need a better response than leaving it to vermin like Musk. et al.

Ceuta was a carnival of anti-migrant content for hateful opportunists on the right – and a lesson for the left | Jonathan Liew

It was framed as a perfect storm because nativists dearly wanted it to be. Looking on, progressives failed to meet the moment too, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Everyone's comparing Nolan's Odyssey to Homer, but I think there's much more richness The ancient Greeks adapted the Odyssey into ART While these images might appear static to us, I want to walk through how an ancient Greek saw art: AS DYNAMIC STORYTELLING like our films 1/13

All kinds of interesting learnings, today. The editor tried to get rid of him for being a nasty piece of work and Rupert Murdoch personally intervened to protect him.

Israeli settlers practice apartheid & genocide & are no better than heirs to Nazism. I'm sure that had he been asked, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich would have confirmed that 1 Aryan life was more important than those of 10million Jews & other "untermenschen" because God made Aryans superior

In a BBC interview, an Israeli settler said, one Israeli life is more important than 10 million Palestinian lives, claiming “God chose them.” (Video courtesy of BBC). Wow, just wow🤬🤬 #FreePalestine #StopTheGenocide #ISRA’HELLTerroristState #StopKillingBabies #ArrestSatanyahoo

Spewing hate makes money. It doesn't make you loved or respected, and nor does it add to the sum of human happiness. But it can make you hard cash and you can pop the kids through private school and drive an expensive car and live in a nice house. And frankly fuck anyone who is so shallow.

This is presented as shocking but “kill and expel our subject population of subhumans” has been the position of Israeli governments and the Israeli public for a very long time, and it is odd the BBC did not notice until the third year of relentleess crimes against humanity.

Farage Lies Now they have all returned to Morocco, at no point posing a threat to the UK. But because he lost big in Manchester. Because he can’t run from his and his party’s corruption questions. He’s just pushing lies.

If someone you know is persuaded by Farage's fearmongering over footage of migrants crossing from Morocco to Ceuta, tell them this: Third-country nationals in Ceuta do not have free movement to mainland Spain or the rest of the Schengen area. Spanish officials say over 25K have already returned.

“The Third World War is already underway, has been for a while, but remains unrecognised because it doesn’t follow the patterns we know.”

Reading Thomas Williams' Lost Realms about "Dark Age" Britain. Sadly, the fascinating chapter on the lost British kingdom of Elmet in West Yorks, which resisted absorption by its much larger Anglo-Saxon neighbours for a while, omits the obvious coda that the area fell to the Goths in the 1980s.😉
