Why can’t hackers do something useful and relatable? Don’t be fucking around with freezers. Hack into Mastercard and wipe out all evidence of spending. Lower the prices at petrol pumps. Shut down Microsoft Teams, or takedown Outlook for 72 hours. Win hearts and minds!

People don't seem to understand that if police didn't act, we'd have 4,000 of these terrorist grannies out there, not hurting anyone at all. It doesn't bear thinking about.

It's not Qaddafi. It's not al Assad. It's not Maduro. It's not Xi or Putin. It's British police announcing that anyone even attending a protest will be arrested.
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation.
Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

Russia, China and other countries routinely labeled “authoritarian” know that footage of police manhandling and dragging 80-year-old women away for peacefully protesting would be broadcast around the world as evidence of their repressive political systems.

A woman wrote an AI-generated note in a gift book for a child, and now people are yelling at a different woman who wrote a poem begging her to use her own brain. Four years ago you were perfectly capable of doing things yourselves. The speed at which we’ve given up is shocking.

The evangelical relationship to Jesus is purely individual and chiefly concerned with using him for self actualization. They reduce him down to prayer therapist no wonder they can’t understand art that places him in catastrophe.

Catholicism has always embraced the corporeal, including in sickness, death, and decay, as a manifestation of the divine. We keep the beauty and physicality of death ever in our presence, in the form of memento mori, relics, the crucifix. Protestantism fears corporeality.
