In Whigs and Hunters, Marxist historian E. P. Thompson explained how law, though shaped by class power, could also enable resistance, because governing through legal forms bound the state to limits it could not fully control. Those limits sustained a long tradition in which ordinary people could contest abuses of authority from within the law […]
This food timeline started as a way to explore the revolution in Australian food that has occurred during the baby-boomers’ lifetime, but has since expanded to include more about the previous decades (and century) as well. Also included are overseas events and trends that had an impact here. The entries are brief, but there are lots of links if you want more information.

Our 22nd most-read article of 2025.
Originally published June 3, 2025.
“The president remained steadfast in his novel interpretation of constitutional law.”
“Faced with the choice between clinging to the letter of the law and marching to the beat of his own legal drum, the president chose the latter.”
“The president’s solutions-focused approach to legal roadblocks necessitated thinking outside the constitutional box.”
“Perhaps unaware that he had sailed beyond the Constitution’s horizons, the president found himself drifting further and further from legal terra firma.”

It’s that magical time of year again. Candles and poinsettias decorate every surface, small children are dressed as sheep, angels are telling people to “Fear not.” So, really, with Christmas just hours away, what do any of us have to fear?
Me, bitch.
I’m the high A flat at the end of “O Holy Night,” and I’m not optional. I’m printed right there in the second ending after the coda, soaring above the treble clef line. I will be sung.
Were you thinking about presents? The ham defrosting at home? The birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the most humble and abject of circumstances? Not anymore!

You’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting for me, because you’ve heard way too many singers screech and waver and get me all wrong. What catastrophe awaits this time?
And just like that, I’ve hijacked the whole service.
First, let’s get one thing clear, Santa: I ain’t a scab. The collective bargaining agreement clearly mandates the sleigh be led by a union-approved eight-reindeer team. Your little “won’t you guide my sleigh tonight” routine is a bald attempt to dilute the team’s negotiating power.
No matter how hurtful their teasing about my shiny red nose, I continue to stand in solidarity with my fellow reindeer.
It’s an open secret among the elves that you’re guilty of gross negligence regarding reindeer safety.

Instead of headlights, all they get is gaslight: your snide remarks about antler length, your expectation that we should be satisfied with carrots and melted snow-water while you hoard the supply of cookies and milk, your use of mistletoe to sanction sexual misconduct.
