A lot of current political/economic commentary does not recognise how exceptional the sustained decline in living standards has been. This is not a traditional ‘political business cycle’.

This is a horrific image of thousands of Palestinians waiting in line for food around ruins after the government destroyed their homes, killed thousands, and cut them off from all resources.

You might not recognize it because it’s from Syria in 2014 so no marches.

Call me naive, but until today I didn't realise that Agents and Casting Agents use spotlight for free and only actors pay for it.

This f**king industry, man!

Once an empire declines it slowly becomes impossible to imagine it ever existed at all. For example the idea of small cadres of hyper-competent British men dispersing all over the planet to govern and control events in their favor sounds like a science fiction absurdity today.

Really thrilled that all the people who were SO concerned about J.K. Rowling’s goblins are now calling for the elimination of the Jewish state.
It truly shows their commitment to anti-racism, equality and quite extraordinary levels of stupidity.

I could acknowledge that hanging posters of missing people thousands of miles from where they’re missing is somewhat complicated.

Ripping them down isn’t. Anyone who gets to a position where they think that’s right has got badly lost. It’s a vile act.

This is an incredibly empathetic and moving letter. It’s the best on all of this I’ve read. I hope it gets widely read, and widely considered in the right quarters. Dismally, I feel there’s vanishingly little chance of that.

After 9/11 a theory spread through the conspiracy community which claimed Jews were ordered to stay home from the twin towers as Israel was involved in what they considered an 'inside job'.

It is still readily believed all over the world today.

So begins it's new incaranation.

One difficult thing about Is/Pal discourse right now is that you never quite know where people are coming from. Takes from those who genuinely hope for peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians rub shoulders with those from people on both sides who absolutely do not.

This must be driven significantly by technology. We used to walk around with cash and, for a decade or so, valuable phones that could be easily re-used/re-sold. Now we can turn our debit cards and phones into useless lumps of plastic and metal minutes after a theft.

This was one of the photos that cane out before all the posts from cranks about how excited they were. They knew while they celebrated

We have never seen a more graphic example of the double standards applied to Israel than the wave of condemnation that erupted when people thought the IDF were responsible for the hospital attack, followed by the silence accompanying the realisation it was Hamas or their proxies.
