The London thug department arrested a homeless man for refusing to
leave the tent where he was living. Then, viciously, the thugs stole
and destroyed his tent and his other belongings.
The department has apologized and agreed to pay damages. That’s
better treatment than is normal for thugs. But even when they arrest
someone for a valid reason, that does not excuse confiscating or
destroying poor people’s property when preserving it was possible.
If misogynistic porn isn’t bad enough, propaganda against masturbation
goes one harmful step further.
I have a hunch that “masturbation abstinence” advice comes from the same
people that campaign to prohibit abortion and birth control.
A UK court has ruled people cannot be fired for being anti-Zionist.
That policy is just: whether to be Zionist or anti-Zionist is a matter
of political views, and people should not be fired for disagreeing
about those.
Being antisemitic is a different matter: that is a form of bigotry,
like antimuslimism or antiarabism. We must be careful to distinguish
clearly between antisemitism and criticism of Israel or its actions.
Pakistan’s government has democratic forms but the substance is military rule.
I have no way of knowing whether Imran Khan is guilty of those
corruption charges. (I don’t know the details of them.) I also don’t
know whether this is an instance of selective prosecution over
something all politicians do. But the “un-Islamic marriage” charges
clearly demonstrate that the Pakistani state is repressive and unjust.
That has, however, been true for a long time, because Pakistan sentences
people to death for “blasphemy”.
I urge everyone to stat away from Pakistan.

The X-87 was a red shambles. It roared the starways, a renegade Venusian at the controls, a swaggering Martian plotting the space-course. And in an alumite cage, deep below-decks, lay Penelle, crack Shadow Squadman—holding the fate of three worlds in his manacled hands. – Summary by Original Gutenberg text
Snoop Dogg and Master P accuse the supermarket of trying to “choke” their cereal brand out of the market.
An English peer is found stabbed in his room with more than a hint of the supernatural playing a hand. This is only reinforced by the curse of the Reckaviles and the sinister members of the lineage. Scotland yard man sent to look into this is baffled and clueless to the extent that he was about to believe the ghost theory more than ever. Meanwhile, there is love blossoming even in this gloomy surrounding, but will it hold? – Summary by Yoganandh T
