It's important to note, every time it comes up, that a Two State solution is a segregated solution, apartheid.

In addition it legitimises both the nationalist supremacism and the land theft. That's not a good signal to send in the 21C.

The 2SS is not a just solution nor is it a wise solution.

Define Jewish State The phrase is even more complicated than it appears.

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2.

A few warnings:
Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is.
Absolutely /do not/ lick it.
Keep far away from any Supermen.
If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts.

Let's talk about the science here.

"if and when global publics no longer view it principally as a victim of foreign aggression"

Global publics might have cottoned on to the fact that Iran has been a victim of global aggression since the 1950s, of course.

Or just one of the wider initial circles of the same spiral? If the growth in the number of potential applicants is higher than the growth in the number of vacancies then it's like r>g, something like this is the only possible end point of the system

The problem when I graduated was that there were 200 modern British history PhDs putting in applications for every job, you had to apply for like 50 jobs to get one, and a fair few people left academia before they did. That was unpleasant in its own way, but it wasn’t a death spiral like it is now.

Eduardo Porter is Still Wrong About UBI and AI: A Response to The Guardian Universal Basic Income Isn’t a Job Replacement Plan—It’s an AI Dividend and Stable Income Floor That Protects Work, Wages, and Democracy Eduardo Porter’s new Guardian piece is built around a fam...

I wrote this to help people understand that universal basic income is not meant to permanently replace all jobs. It's meant to be a floor below which no one can fall, and a dividend that universally distributes a share of our economy. It's meant to provide the power to say no and freedom to choose.

This is just horrific. The gender critical movement along with the British press bullied her out of her job at the NHS and now they doxed her after she fled the country and are continuing the harassment and defamation. These people are absolute monsters.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

A horrible read
It’s way past the time the IDF & illegal settlers, armed by the Israeli government, are designated internationally as terrorists
Instead our absurd UK government brands activists causing criminal damage to an Israeli-owned arms manufacturer terrorists
