In the mid-80s, the UK was witnessing a surge in anti-apartheid sentiment. The cultural boycott had broad support from The Rolling Stones to Dusty Springfield, and the Specials’ 1983 anthem ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ was a rallying cry from UK marches to South African townships. Simultaneous political shifts were taking place within British councils, as several […]
War, what is it good for? Well, the media for starters. Shortly after the Biden administration responded to the killing of three American soldiers in a drone attack on a base in Jordan by bombing 85 Iran-connected targets in Iraq and Syria, the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) asked in a headline: “Is the press dragging America to war again?” Again? I thought. Shouldn’t that be “still”? That headline was on a recent Media Today newsletter by Jon Allsop who regularly covers what could be considered the favorite topic of journalists: themselves. He was mulling over media criticism of how the government had (or hadn’t) disclosed information about that just-launched bombing campaign, as well as its goals, while considering the accusation that...

The daily news regularly features commentary about the outrageous and growing income inequality in the USA. The data support the outrage:

Do as thou will, so long as your activities increase biodiversity and biomass, reduce pollution and heat, and replace any resources used.
Want to live in the howling wilderness? OK. But only if you can increase the number and amount of lifeforms, and reduce pollution by being there. If you can’t do all three, you don’t get to live in the wilderness.
Freedom today is based on money. If you have enough money, you can do what you want, if you obey the law. The more money you have, the fewer laws apply to you: either they are laws which if violated are punished with fines, which you don’t care about, or they are laws which are effectively not enforced against the rich.
The New Green Age, instead of having a zero tolerance policy for minor infractions, will have no tolerance for people who damage the ecosphere or the climate.
Defne Sheridan is a producer. She lives in New York and Los Angeles.
No, you read her bio correctly. It goes like this: Defne Sheridan is a producer. She lives in New York and Los Angeles. You might be wondering how that works logistically. But if you have to ask how someone can live in both New York and Los Angeles, then you are not ready to live in New York and Los Angeles. Shhh.
Again: Defne Sheridan is a producer. She lives in New York and Los Angeles. Sometimes Defne says she lives in Los Angeles and New York to switch things up. No matter which order the cities are in, Defne and her long-tailed chinchilla inhabit both in an equally spiritual way.
Defne transcends time and space and has a presence in New York and Los Angeles. Sometimes her art needs sun, so she goes to LA. Sometimes her art needs rain, so she goes to New York. Sun and rain, rain and sun, back and forth, for meaning-making.

It was the Summer of 1983 and the Featherstone Rovers loose-forward Keith Bell was preparing for his testimonial season. Back then, rugby league was a part-time game, and a ten-year celebration was the ultimate accolade for loyalty and commitment to the hardest of sports. In an age where players worked around shifts and received £50 […]
Western media promoted a UN report as proof Hamas sexually assaulted Israelis. Yet the report’s authors admitted they couldn’t locate a single victim, suggested Israeli officials staged a rape scene, and denounced “inaccurate forensic interpretations.” On March 4, the United Nations released a report into sexual violence which has supposedly taken place amid the Israeli war on Gaza. The report was immediately celebrated in mainstream media outlets as proof of what scores of Israel lobbyists and journalists under their sway […]
