Alternative title in Germany: “Guardian doxes antifa activist”
If he does end up in The Hague, the IDF raid to free him will turn out to have been conducted with extensive UK assistance.
If they don’t say definitively that they’re not, then they’ve at least left the option open to do so when the profit motive demands it.
Wonder if they spiked after the recent debate as well

The frightening realisation to take away is that most people don’t have a visceral horror of fascism in the way that progressives on Mastodon do. Which makes sense: if fascism was regarded with widespread revulsion, the Trumps and Orbans and Netanyahus of this world would be as successful as someone running a dogshit sandwich stall at the local market.
From what I understand, it’s slow because along much of the route it uses legacy rights of way with level crossings. Brightline West will have all new grade-separated right of way, which will allow higher speeds.
Is it the case that the US fundamentally can’t do what, say, Spain and South Korea and Algeria have been able to, and that they have been able to do with, say, NASA, the military and numerous private corporate logistics systems, or just that they haven’t done it yet?
Once the US has one working world-class HSR line (probably Brightline West, or possibly CAHSR), the appetite for more lines will increase. HSR will have become something that is common for Americans to ride when not on holiday to Japan or Italian hilltop towns, and reflexively dismissing it as “it wouldn’t work here because we have too much (space/liberty/big cars)” won’t work anymore. New plans will be proposed (a midwest network connecting Chicago to Cleveland and St. Louis?) and old ones (such as the Texas one) dusted off. And the Canadians will notice and jump on the bandwagon (given that a big chunk of their population would be reached by a line from Detroit/Windsor to Quebec City makes it a no-brainer).
Living by the old Australian credo, “she’ll be right, mate”
Either he is the great English Everyman and the UK’s population backs Russia, or he isn’t, and hard Brexit is not the Will Of The People. Though given both major parties ruling out any softening, and the BBC platforming him enthusiastically whilst having a ban on coverage of, say, the Green Party who actually have MPs, the powers that be are leaning hard on the former. Something will have to give.

They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently
One person’s psychosis is another person’s ghosts of dead aliens blown up with H-bombs in volcanoes and then forced to watch bad movies for eternity.

And if an app like Signal bypasses blocks, having it installed could become a crime.
John Gruber (yes, the Apple loyalist) pointed out that the Japanese law specifically exempts game consoles, and suggested the US retaliating by passing a law requiring third-party app stores on the PlayStation and Switch. Which probably won’t happen, but would be entertaining if it did.
