Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

So the key question is whether Anthony Williams was known to the mental health system? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...?

This is a comment one could expect from the Albert Speer Professor of Law chair-holder. Not from the halls of Harvard. Alas. Disgraceful.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Advent gets the fancy purple cloths, which I consider superior to the white of actual Christmas (if memory serves).

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Teen Vogue and WIRED are both part of Conde Nast. If they've cut the politics coverage at Teen Vogue... it makes me worried they'll cut Wired as well. I hope not, but...

At this point this only makes Mamdani an even more attractive choice, piss off Elon and all the worst people in the world? Heck yeah!

the damage being done to the standing of law enforcement amongst previously non-radicalised Americans must be huge

The world changes in ways we don't understand, leaving us confused to deal with the consequences. Happens now more than ever. I watched a courier bot the other day and then I did some research on the company. Where did it come from? Who made it? Let's journey into the world of Joel. 🧵1/14

After repeatedly requesting permission and following all the official guidelines, Catholic bishop, priests, sisters and lay people were refused permission to distribute Communion to migrants in ICE detention center, on All Saints Day. A religious freedom issue: www.ncronline.org/news/ice-aga...

Claire Coutinho voted in June to continue to prosecute and imprison women for having abortions.

An excellent antidote to nostalgia here. We are a less violent society than when I was young. Not because there's more surveillance, or police, but partly, as this piece points out, because of feminism. Let's keep working on low level violence, and it will help keep down the rest of it.

Your average Subway 6-inch has an effective range of about 15 feet, making it best for CQC or a sidearm (side-sub?). For increased range and stopping power, you're going to want something baguette-based, like a Croque Monsieur.

President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a "sounding board" into the future. Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success beyond the election on Tuesday. "Your campaign has been impressive to watch," Obama told Mamdani.

on the other hand: was in NJ earlier and voxpopped this Republican woman who - can't fault her comedic timing - said she loved London but can't go there anymore because "even outside Hamley's! On the beautiful Oxford Street! [pause] illegals."

when I spend time (and I do) with family, colleagues and friends aged 30 and under, I am struck by their confidence, emotional intelligence and reasonableness.

this Halloween, I was on a South London train. A group of 5 young men, from accents working class Londoner. Some with drinks. Dressed in a variety of superhero costumes. They approached another man (similar accent) a stranger to them, dressed as Super Mario. Nothing but friendliness. No aggro.+

And - to go back to my point yesterday - the very people who are throwing their hands up in horror at how violent modernity has suddenly become have spent the last 14 years banging on about how fragile the modern youth are and how they needed to toughen the fuck up and come on you can’t do both

“it has bled out of culture, slowly, the violence. Sometimes achingly far too slowly, don’t get me wrong. Some times it jumps, back into full view, bold as brass. It’s still *a* present today. But it’s not an ever-present, it’s not an omnipresent.” @twlldun deals with this very nicely IMO

This from @twlldun.bsky.social is really good on this subject: medium.com/@twlldun/a-b...

“I think oftentimes when people talk about this history, they usually focus on cis gay men . . . But there is a really exciting new, newish field of study, of scholars who are uncovering stories of people who were lesbians, bisexual, transgender and those really untold stories.”

After writing 52 columns, every columnist should have an enforced year-long break from column writing, because there is not one single person who can have 52 legitimate opinions a year for more than one year without sending themselves round the bend

I feel Parliament’s 1987 ban of teachers beating school-children was a watershed. The state withdrew its sanction for corporal punishment as legitimate.

I think it was @twlldun.bsky.social who did a good thread on this a while back - a permeation of violence through society that has largely disappeared.

sure, why not

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles. This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

New awareness campaign

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

Remember: fascists like White *welcome* arguments that their demands are absurd, unworkable. Their aims are to make *cruelty debatable* and therefore *more possible*. The specifics of the racist cruelty are unimportant.

I am not sure that Andrew Windsor's extradition to Battenberg on the Eder will be proceeding

Lucy White advocates deporting 4th generation British citizens to 'ancestral homelands' if guilty of serious crimes "Whether he’s a 2nd gen, 3rd gen or 4th generation migrant, he’s proven that he cannot integrate into a civilised society" White is a GB News contributor + Restore Britain supporter

I mean yes there are very few Muslims in the US. Although most countries have no idea since there is no census. 1% of the population is probably among the lowest in the world though, similar to the Vatican

I almost certainly meet more Muslims on a day at work than live in a mid sized US town

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day. Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

This. So few of them have the foresight, ruthlessness and good luck to survive what may be coming. They certainly don’t have *experience*.

Coalitions based on shared hatreds are by their very nature unstable

'No enemies to the [direction]' remains a cynical, callow, destructive ideological assumption. There are always extremists whose destructive ideas are not worth humoring, in any political direction.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree
