Why is centrism failing so badly? Because at its heart is a mistaken idea of how politics works. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 20th May 2026 The biggest Brexit donor was the stockbroker Peter Hargreaves. He gave £3.2m to the leave campaign. He justified his enthusiasm as follows: “We will get out there […]

In its defeat at an international tribunal, the OPCW has acknowledged that it shunned an inspector who challenged the Douma chemical cover-up. OPCW whistleblower Dr. Brendan Whelan details the closing chapter of his bid for justice. The wheels of justice turn slowly but grind exceedingly fine, they say.

The latest Oct. 7 rape hoax propaganda piece from The Daily insists that the only reason a woman at the Nova music festival wasn’t raped by Hamas members is that she had a scar – and falsely claims that “scars have a spiritual significance in the eyes of the terrorists.” In one of its most brazen disinformation efforts in years, the British tabloid The Daily Mail has published a fake news story claiming that an Israeli woman who was permitted […]

Like many others, I left the United States because I wanted to get away from Trumpʼs America. But now that my only entertainment opportunities involve two men riding neon glow-in-the-dark motorcycles inside an enormous orb, I must ask myself if I made the right decision. It wasn’t easy to move. But I consider myself an open person and felt compelled to leave a place that was becoming increasingly intolerant and closed off. Little did I know that this openness would bring me to this regional theater, with this man, whose thighs are covered with henna tattoos, and who’s rocking a loincloth that’s not really a diaper but also not quite a thong. My friends back home say that they’re jealous of me. I understand why—they’re still there, which means they see terrible news every day. But it also means they’re not seeing this woman in a gold bikini pick up bamboo sticks with her toes and construct a tower for the peacocks. The Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi has accused the global investment fund Apollo of downplaying its ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
We are proud to share that the Drupal Association has been awarded a grant from the Alpha-Omega Project, a project of The Linux Foundation, which seeks to help open source projects identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities. As AI-generated commits and AI-driven security threats become the norm, open-source ecosystems must evolve rapidly. This funding directly strengthens the already mature Drupal Security Team, ensuring our core ecosystem is hardened against the modern, AI-age vulnerabilities.
It is widely believed (by me, just now) that William Shakespeare revised his plays constantly, fueled by ambition, self-doubt, and whatever they drank instead of coffee back then. Based on that and vibes alone, here is what he probably thought each time he tweaked the same scene again. 1. Ah! A fresh draft. This one shall be perfect and require no further changes. 2. What if the line were slightly sadder? 3. What if it were also a little funny? 4. Can something be tragic and funny? I shall invent this. 5. “To be, or not to be”—hmm. Feels wordy. Perhaps just “To be”? 6. No, no, no. Put the rest back. It was good. It was fine. 7. Actually, what if he says it while holding a skull? 8. Where would he get the skull? 9. I will simply give him one. The audience will not question it. 10. I am a genius. 11. Wait. What if the skull has a name? 12. Everyone loves it when objects have names. 13. Yorick. Yes. That feels right. 14. I should write that down. 15. I did not write that down. 16. Back to the top. “To be, or not to be”—still excellent. - - - McSweeney’s and Broadway Video present the official over-six-hundred-page comprehensive companion book to IFC’s Documentary Now!, made with the assistance of series directors Rhys Thomas and Alex Buono and including new writing by Seth Meyers, a foreword by Pulitzer Prize–finalist Matt Zoller Seitz, the complete sheet music for John Mulaney and Eli Bolin’s Co-op: The Musical, and much more.

"The phrase ‘tax the rich’ can be ‘just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs,’ according to the New York City billionaire Steve Roth, who said that the top 1 percent should be ‘praised and thanked.’” — The Guardian - - - First they came for the pieds-à-terre, which they said were driving up the cost of housing. And I did not speak out. Because my pied-à-terre was in Greenwich, Connecticut, not Greenwich Village. Then they came for the capital gains, which they said should be taxed as income. And I did not speak out. Because I had all of my company stock in a tax-sheltered backdoor Roth. Then they came for the bad landlords, who they said were ripping off tenants. And I did not speak out. Because I was so wealthy I didn’t even bother renting out any of my investment properties. Then they came for the 1031 exchanges, which they said were an unfair tax loophole the wealthy use to buy fancier vacation homes. Why are rightwingers being given a free pass on antisemitism? By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 14th May 2026 The media’s message appears to have cut through. At the crucial rally against antisemitism in London on Sunday, Zack Polanski, the Jewish leader of the Green party of England and Wales, was not invited to […]
