This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media. Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points.

They didn't just stop building public housing, they sold off the existing stock at significant discounts, didn't replace it and used the proceeds to fund other public spending. IIRC, John Bruton was a great advocate of this act of Hibernothatcherite vandalism.

The housing crisis in Ireland dates back to the 1980âs when the Government stopped building public housing, and failed to reform the private rental sector. This was at a time of massive emigration. Blaming recent immigrants for housing problems is as logical as blaming moving statues.

I feel sorry for the Whitehouse staff, trying for the 15th time to explain that Niger and Nigeria are different countries and that the N-Word is not the correct term for either countries citizens.

The âget outâ clause for Israelâs far right government is the bodies of the dead hostages. They know the bodies are buried under tons of rubble caused by Israeli indiscriminate bombing. They will used this in the next couple of weeks to rescind the ceasefire deal and resume the ethnic cleansing.

We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.đ§”

It would not surprise me if the cartridge use in the Charley Kirk shooting was underloaded. That would explain the lack of exit wound, due to the lower bullet velocity. This might have been due to the shooter having the mistaken belief that this would foul up forensic and ballistic analysis.

Before anyone in the UK comments on the Jimmy Kimmel story with âIt wouldn't happen hereâ, 40 times as many people took to the streets in London to protest against Trump, and the BBC gave it a fraction of the coverage of Tommy Two Name's Neo-Nazi march. Same story on Sky News.
