I have no confidence in Boris Johnson as prime minister or as an MP.

RT, then Copy and paste.

You’d be forgiven for thinking this is some crackpot fascist dictator bringing in yet more draconian powers and yet, this is the Home Secretary of the United Kingdom. It’s a fucking travesty.

After shooting Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh dead, Israeli snipers continued to fire on other journalists and people trying to rescue her from the scene. Barbarism on a level that one would only expect from the Israeli military.

Worse than coal
Utter madness EU/UK is deforesting Southern USA of its forests and calling it Green, fueling even more #climate change and warming
Today, biomass energy provides nearly 60% of the EU’s renewable power generation capacity

10/ The jury convicted Amy Denny and Rose Cullender, after which Hale sentenced both women to hang.

Thirty years later, Hale’s handling of this trial, preserved in written record, served as model in Salem, Massachusetts, in the infamous witch trials of 1692.

9/ But that wasn’t Hale’s only legacy.

In 1662, at Bury St. Edmunds, Hale presided at the trial of two women accused of witchcraft. Hale instructed the jury that witches were real, saying Scripture affirmed as much.

[Ken Armstrong @bykenarmstrong]

In Justice Alito’s draft opinion reversing Roe, he writes about “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment,” up until Roe in 1973.

He cites, as historical authority, Sir Matthew Hale.

Let me tell you about Hale & his views toward women.

SciFi Saturday! Until I get bored of it I'm going to do a twitter thread every Saturday about a science fiction novel or series that resonated with and influenced me.

Week 1 is the Uplift cycle by David Brin.
