The Trump administration may claim Title 42 aims to stop the spread of tuberculosis. But it’s truly a ploy to stop asylum-seekers.

From Microsoft and Google to Oracle and OpenAI, American companies are fueling the rise of autonomous warfare—technology that’s already being tested on Palestinians and could soon be turned against Americans.

Today, racism remains a poisonous force in America. Fascism and authoritarianism are on the rise and President Donald Trump is giving voice to such hate, making it state policy and central to his presidential agenda. Recently, he tried to ban birthright citizenship by executive order to limit the number of babies of color born in the United States, though such an act is clearly unconstitutional. Currently, at least two federal judges have blocked Trump’s executive orders to redefine birthright citizenship. He has also issued executive orders seeking to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion. He clearly does not want Black, Brown, and Asian people to be on an equal footing with Whites. All his most recent efforts are consistent with... Read more

David Tennant may have left Doctor Who (for now), but he's keeping himself grounded in sci-fi, playing an AI in the Audible audio drama Him.
“Message received” MSNBC’s new network president, Rebecca Kutler, saluted He Who Would Be King last week and said, “Yes, Sir! How low?” Kutler offered in sacrifice a half-dozen of its anchors (and their production teams). The network plans to relocate some to new ensemble-format shows. Former Obama administration official, Brandon Friedman, posted an image of ousted anchors (above) and remarked, “Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.” Timothy Snyder warned us. And warned us again. And again. “Do Not Obey in Advance.” Democracy Now! spoke with Snyder back in December on how corporate America was “bending” to Donald Trump “following ABC News’s decision to settle a Trump defamation case by donating $15 million to his future presidential library.” “There is a problem when the people who have the most money set the example of yielding to power first,” Snyder said. “It’s textbook anticipatory obedience.” Lester Holt is exiting his slot as anchor and managing editor of “NBC Nightly News” after a decade.
. Confirms — again — what we already knew: Trump is a reckless, untruthful, outrageous, incompetent and undignified buffoon!
We often write that we are saddened to hear of the death of someone, though hearing the news of the death of Brendan ‘Bik’ McFarlane, who passed away on Friday 21 February after a short illness, felt like a gut punch. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way: as I write […]
Initiative backed by Baroness Warsi and Nusrat Ghani MP aims to bring Muslim perspectives to issues beyond just extremism and security
Now that we’ve elected a president who promises to make America great again, it’s time to bring back our traditional American values, including:
1st of January 2025 Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election of November 2024 has shredded the liberal script about the Ukraine war. That script was to offer unconditional moral and material support for a Ukrainian victory, defined minimally as recovery of the invaded territories of Crimea and Donbass. In Britain, it was considered … Continue reading The American Conservative – Why Is the UK So Invested in the Russia–Ukraine War?
15th of February 2025 Europe is coming to grips with new global realities. James Carden of The American Conservative and David Speedie of the Carnegie Council’s Global Engagement Program sat down with Baron Robert Sidelsky to discuss his newfound optimism regarding a settlement between Russia and Ukraine and Europe’s continued dependence on American security guarantees. … Continue reading The American Conservative: Skidelsky on Russia, Ukraine and the Future of European Security
The administration has withdrawn carbon dioxide pipeline regulations inspired by a horrific gas leak, and a former industry lobbyist is now overseeing such matters.
First, Knight and Keynes derive from their different philosophical worldviews distinct definitions of uncertainty. Keynes’s is a wholly epistemic uncertainty concept (see Packard and Clark, 2020), the ignorance of an actor regarding the objective and knowable (a priori) probabilities of future outcomes. Such probabilities are discoverable by learning the underlying ‘probability-relations’ between causes and effects. […]
The Guardian – 25th of February 2025 “By refusing to back negotiations for the past three years, the UK has become irrelevant to the search for peace – we must change course” On the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, British policy towards the war is in a mess. The continuing official British position, echoed … Continue reading Britain’s insistence on total Ukrainian victory was misguided – it’s time for a realistic compromise

Ο Τραμπ αναμένει πως ο κόσμος θα διχαστεί: Μια ομάδα υποτακτικών χωρών (π.χ. της Ευρώπης και η Ιαπωνία) θα βοηθά στη μείωση του εμπορικού ελλείμματος των ΗΠΑ κρατώντας το δολάριο χαμηλά και αγοράζοντας περισσότερα αμερικανικά αγαθά, ενέργεια και όπλα ● Και μια δεύτερη ομάδα (π.χ. Κίνα και Ρωσία) θα παραμένει εκτός της στρατιωτικής ομπρέλας των […]

Britain will never truly change for the better as long as Britain's deeply unfair voting system remains in place, argues Neal Lawson
Trump’s return isn’t just chaos, it’s a calculated strategy. While liberals dismiss him, Trump understands raw economic power in a way centrists fail to grasp. What is his master plan, and how could it backfire? Meanwhile, Musk & other billionaires are the new ruling class. As capitalism dies, we enter technofeudalism, where corporate overlords control […]

The spread of war in Europe is now a greater possibility than it has been since the height of the Cold War, writes AC Grayling
As I type this, Trump is threatening tariffs on anyone who challenges the interests of America’s technology oligarchs, all of whom are now paying obeisance at this court. Technology is the US biggest weapon against the free world of which it was formerly part, and the right place to fight back. But what can be done? I’ll […]
40 years ago today the Daily Mail carried a front page picture of police officers carrying me away from a Miners Strike rally in Whitehall.

To all Starfleet personnel,
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce Starfleet’s commitment to moving beyond so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and embracing a post-bias future where everything is fine and no one needs to think too hard about it.
For too long, our DEI programs have distracted us from our true mission: boldly going where no one has gone before, while ensuring the same five conventionally attractive humans get the best bridge assignments.
Effective immediately, the following programs will be discontinued:
