I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.

Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

For Jacobin, I reviewed Ridley Scott's Napoleon — a film breathtakingly conservative in politics that simultaneously channels the barren liberalism of the Cold War and the conservative tradition embodied by Edmund Burke and Thomas Carlyle.

BREAKING: Norway’s United Federation of Trade Unions says it will start blocking Teslas bound for Sweden unless Musk signs a collective agreement with the Swedish Industrial Workers’ Union.

They will join workers in Denmark who have taken Sweden's Tesla strike international.

This is what happens when a government turns off the spending taps on social security and public services.

More of the same will produce the same disastrous results.

For last Thursday's edition of the Toronto Star, I wrote a longform piece on Werner Herzog's art, the place of transcendence in his films, and his remarkable new memoir Every Man For Himself and God Against All:

Enjoyed this Jacobin piece by Luke Savage. He's right that defending liberalism needs to be a lot more than just expressing a wariness of any non-centrist political movements.

Our new report, 'Unprecedented and Worsening: Ontario’s Local Hospital Closures 2023', paints a stark picture of a health care system that has tipped into collapse while Doug Ford's policy choices actively undermine staffing.

Really enjoyed this discussion, and feel like the section on Trump's relationship to the UFC really illuminated something about his weird brand of populism for me

Great to see Luke Savage back in the Toronto Star.

'Werner Herzog is ultimately a wanderer above the fog, and his rapturous truth comes from some place far beyond the clouds.'

.Luke Savage: 'Throughout, Scott seems at once deeply uninterested in the details of history and driven by a slightly geekish impulse to structure his film around various well-known incidents, even if they serve no higher narrative purpose.' jacobin.com/2023/12/ridley…

Starmerism in a nutshell: we won't tax people any more because they have to take sandwiches to the pub. But we won't pay them any more so they can afford not to take sandwiches to the pub.
