Top 100 Tweeting Politics Commentators 2018
A Very Public Sociologist / 6h
It's the most wonderful time of the year! As the curtains begin drawing on another turbulent 12 months in politics, it's time to pour the mulled wine, help yourself to a crafty mince pie and get down with that other venerable annual tradition: the totting up of who's hot and who's not in the world of political comment.

Malevolence or Ineptitude?
A Very Public Sociologist / 5d
Why do First World War generals carry a reputation for incompetence? Because they would launch offensive after offensive against well-entrenched positions without regard to tactics, uselessly and criminally throwing away the lives of tens of thousands of young men. The stakes aren't as high, but I'm reminded of their example when surveying the strategic geniuses of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

She won her no confidence vote, but 200 votes in favour with 117 against is pretty bad. While Theresa May didn't want the contest, it provided an opportunity for her to crush the demented europhobic wing of her party.

Voyager 2 has now gone interstellar, making it not only NASA’s single longest-running mission but one of only two spacecraft that have crossed over from the heliosphere to true interstellar space, what scientists call the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM).

The British state can maintain its spies’ cover stories for centuries. Look up Eldred Pottinger, who for 180 years appears in scores of British history books – right up to and including William Dalrymple’s Return of the King – as a British officer who chanced to be passing Herat on holiday when it came under siege from a partly Russian-officered Persian army, and helped to organise the defences.

I have only ever been able to discern two underlying motivations in Theresa May’s career; a love of office and a hatred of immigrants.

I do not imagine May’s hatred of immigrants is driven by actual racism, easy thou

Nationalisation Without Compensation

When slavery was abolished in the British Empire, taxpayers paid huge sums in compensation to slave owners for the loss of their “property”. No compensation was ever paid to the slaves for the loss of their freedom. The problem with that approach is, of course, that the state did not take into account that the “property” of which it was relieving the landowners was acquired as part of an inhuman

The last two days I have seen (presumably) boat lights in Fukushima's harbor. One would imagine seeing lights in the harbor would be a routine occurrence, but has been for me an unusual experience. You can see two lights (red and green) in the background of units 1 and 2 in this screenshot from Cam 1: Today the lights are red and green but yesterday they were white: My guess is that some work is

Homo Sacer at the US-Mexico Border

Giorgo Agamben, an Italian political philosopher, warns against the condition of "homo sacer" when human life is denied basic rights afforded citizens. We can see how people are stripped of basic human rights in many social contexts, but the most recent chemical assault against impoverished immigrants seeking refuge at the US-Mexico border is a particularly poignant example. I'm ashamed that Pres

Protecting Children from Radiation
Majia's Blog / 25d
I am guilty of sentimentalizing children. They are literally our future. We must not foresake them. Yet we do, over and over again. And in so many ways. In particular, their environmental health should be our priority and by environmental I mean social, biological, and physical environments. But let's focus here on physical environment. Children are, of course, much more susceptible to injury fro

Donald Trump's buffoonery can leave you in despair. But Michelle Goldberg writes , in The New York Times , that there is reason to hope: The Democratic landslide in the midterms proved that the laws of political gravity haven’t been suspended; Trump’s incompetence, venality and boorishness had electoral consequences. Further, it was a year of justice and accountability for at least some of those
