Willingness to fight and to absorb damage is the most important thing. The Yemenis lost leaders, civilians and port facilities. They just kept going until the US withdrew. Everyone except the Chinese walks careful around the US because they know it can do a lot of damage to them: more than they can do to […]
The US Department of Justice indictment of Venezuela’s kidnapped leader, Nicolas Maduro, is a political rant that relies heavily on coerced testimony from an unreliable witness. Despite DOJ edits, it could expose more Americans to the CIA’s own history of drug trafficking. The January 3 US military raid on Venezuela to kidnap President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores was followed by the Department of Justice’s release of its superseding indictment of the two abductees as well as their […]

The kidnapping of Maduro is fascinating and it’s interesting to speculate whether it was inside job. Some sources have claimed it, we’ll know by the actions the new leadership takes. If they let the oil majors and American “advisors” in, then the allegations are probably true. Other sources are saying that Acting President Delcy and […]

By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 27th December 2025 Looking back on this crazy year, one event, right at the start, seems to me to encapsulate the whole.

On Wednesday, the […]
Trump’s removal of President Nicolás Maduro could tilt international court proceedings and provide a windfall to corporate plaintiffs.
Didn’t expect this. Guess enough of the military wasn’t loyal or competent. Won’t work out well for the US in the longer run, but here we go again. Hell of a precedent to set. If I were Mexico’s President I’d be very worried. Hope she can trust enough of her military. A lot will depend […]

Zohran Mamdani, the 112th mayor of New York City, concluded his inauguration speech with a call to arms. After reassuring the crowd that he was ‘elected as a democratic socialist and will govern as a democratic socialist,’ he went on to say: ‘Before I end, I want to ask all of you, if you are […] Note: I have not published blog posts about my academic papers over the past few years.

Die Ideen der Aufklärung sind trotz der zahlreichen Kritiken, die gegen sie erhoben wurden, immer noch relevant. Die Aufklärung war gekennzeichnet von einem Geist der Erkundung, der zu neuen Entdeckungen sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch […]
Over the past few days I’ve found myself mulling the question of whether AI will destroy art and literature. Initially, I found myself comforted by a thought, articulated by Carrie Jenkins on bluesky, that since the value of art lies not simply in the product but in the process of its creation, art will survive […]
I remember an 11am episode of Jeremy Kyle some years ago, on a hangover so bleak I was holding my mug of tea the way Jack clung onto the door that Rose lay on. A bedraggled man was being accused of stealing a tenner from his girlfriend’s sister’s dog, or something with the same tragic […] Most abstainers continue to drink less after the month is up The post Dry January: What Happens to Your Body When You Skip Alcohol for a Month appeared first on Nautilus. To all of you – a healthy, flourishing, and meaningful 2026! To the world – I am less sure where to begin, since 2025 was, politically and morally speaking, one of the worst years since long. Let’s hope for peace, definitely. Responsible leaders with sound morals. Positive tipping points in climate action. A decline of […]
There’s a lot of confusion about the end of the American empire, and the fall of neoliberalism. Many people think the US will just be in “second place” and it’ll be OK.
