"There has been a lot of talk in the German press about the need for an appraisal of pandemic policies. This talk has flowed in directly inverse proportion to anybody’s willingness to actually appraise anything."

“Delingpole is an interesting creature. He is all at once cantankerous, sweet, vitriolic, witty, mean, snobbish, naughty, naive, fun, cocky, and petulant. All this contradictory complexity is housed in a puckish, jockeylike frame, topped with a big, toothy smile, and dolorous, equine eyes. We get on very well, when he’s not testing me on my knowledge of Russian literature and classical music like an irascible, pompous school master.
I want to both cuddle him, and punch him repeatedly.”

Meta Instagram users accuse platform of censoring posts supporting Palestine - Kari Paul

"Meta made similar excuses in May 2021, during a separate series of escalations in Palestine during which Facebook and Instagram users posting about Palestine reported a similar reduction in the reach of their posts. Those incidents prompted a letter signed by more than 200 Meta employees demanding the company address such shortcomings. A subsequent independent analysis commissioned by Meta found that the social networks had violated Palestinian human rights by censoring content related to Israel’s attacks on Gaza."

In addition to allegations of shadow banning and outright censorship, Meta was under fire this week after users documented a glitch that translated “Palestinian” followed by the Arabic phrase “Praise be to Allah” to “Palestinian terrorists” in multiple profiles. A former Facebook employee with access to discussions among current Meta employees said the issue “really pushed a lot of people over the edge” – internally and externally.

“You cannot keep blaming it on glitches when it’s spreading misinformation and dehumanizing Palestinians by feeding into the narrative that all Palestinians are terrorists,” said the former employee, who spoke anonymously for fear of retaliation. “It’s very overwhelming for a lot of the employees of the company.”

"Already, even in the late 40s, the women of science fiction were trying to demasculinize sci-fi adventures and try to push their whole “science men with magic screwdrivers” type of beta male they wanted to shape the culture to be. Heinlein was rightly offended... “If she thinks Red Planet is a fairy tale, or a fantasy, but gripping (as she says) to read, let her label it as such and peddle it as such. I don’t give a damn. She should concern herself with whether boys will like it.”

"And that’s where trad pub failed Heinlein and male readers who were the target audience in this book. She started nitpicking “offensive” passages, many having to deal with the use or talk of firearms, in order to dumb down and remove the good action from the book because of her “literary sensibilities”. Eventually, she removed several of those passages from the book. They were never restored to what they were intended to be until Heinlein became a legend in a 1992 Del Rey edition of the book."

The Invasion of Britain

The Conservative Party has completely failed to conserve Great Britain. Net migration could hit 700,000 in new figures this week, the Mail understands, opening a new front for attacks on Rishi Sunak by the Tory Right. Internal Home Office forecasts suggest the official net migration estimate – to be published on Thursday – will rise […]

You're Paying for the Israel War. You'll Also Pay for the Refugees.

"By employing what is essentially the carpet-bombing approach, Tel Aviv has made the choice of adopting a policy that is sure to produce hundreds of thousands of refugees—or perhaps even more than a million. Indeed, many in the Israeli regime are motivated to maximize refugees, and push Gazans out of the country altogether using the Orwellian phrase "voluntary migration." "

Earning His Keep

It’s not hard to figure out why the election of WEF creature Javier Milei was arranged in Argentina: Argentina is not planning to become a member of BRICS on January 1, Diana Mondino, senior economic adviser to the country’s president-elect, Javier Milei, told Sputnik Brazil on Monday. The invitation to join BRICS was approved in […]

"Then we have the Associated Press, which has almost a monopoly of the news-gathering service. The Manager of this agency is said to have remarked recently that he was more powerful than the President of the United States. If his censorship of the news is as autocratic and as drastic as is commonly reported, that remark may well be true. He who can select the news upon which millions of readers are to be fed every day has an enormous, if unseen, influence upon the creation of the popular will... Anyone who knows the newspaper business from the inside knows that most newspapers are very autocratically run. The editors and reporters know what topics must be avoided, what news hushed up, what men and movements must be given no publicity."

"Perhaps whatever is out there doesn't evolve by Darwinian selection: it would be what I call "secular intelligent design" that's a bit like machines designing better machines. And while it may not be broadcasting its existence to us, it could be found throughout the Universe."

Arkhaven Author Jon Del Arroz BANNED on Kickstarter and Indiegogo

Arkhaven writer Jon Del Arroz’s new parody comic has been banned on Kickstarter and (apparently) shadow-banned on Indiegogo. Why you may ask? Well, you may ask all you like but they sure as hell aren’t going to tell you. During the lockdown, Kickstarter was so strapped for cash that it did the unthinkable and parted […]

The Dutch National Museum said that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. Astronauts, is actually a piece of petrified wood.

Rijksmuseum spokeswoman Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation that proved the piece was a fake, said the museum will keep it anyway as a curiosity.

The Museum acquired the rock after the death of former Prime Minister Willem Drees in 1988. Drees received it as a private gift on Oct. 9, 1969, from then-U.S. ambassador J. William Middendorf during a visit by three Apollo 11 Astronauts as part of their "Giant Leap" goodwill tour after the first moon landing.

"It is claimed that Heaviside had finished the manunoscript for volume IV in 1916/1917 and that perhaps a different publisher may have taken on the task of disseminating his work. For whatever reason, this was not to be, and the works intended for volume IV were never published. A reasonable question to ask is, ‘Where is the manunoscript?’, if it was completed and ready for publication. The answer to this question has been sought by many ever since Heaviside's death."
