25 March - My Feedly! - 2 of 2

A Very Public Sociologist

There is a weird discrepancy in the politics literature. Go into a good university library and you will find many more books about the Labour Party than you would the Conservatives. Check out academic specialists in politics, and there are more writing about Labour than the Tories. Go to Amazon and see the number of items available - 4,000 for the Conservatives but 7,000 for Labour, And why is th
A thousand obituaries have been written for Theresa May, and yet she's defied every single one of them. From the moment she bungled the election, the fall out from Grenfell Tower, and the long, calamitous June we've endured for nigh on two years, the premier-ship has weathered all storms. Sure, her first major squall smashed the bridge completely and swept her two most important - and able - lieu
Brexit is deep in logic denying territory. It's almost as if events are actively gaslighting those paying close attention to them, so let us consider the events of the last few days in an effort to keep hold of our collective sanity. Over the weekend, May indicated she planned on dragging her deal back to the Commons for the third time . Again, having learned nothing from the fourth and the all-t
There was a time when a good part of my political work was organised around petitions. For calling attention to an issue and, of course, selling the ubiquitous newspapers, we found them a handy tool. As a form of activism or expression of solidarity, signing a petition is the least time consuming and cost-free type of political participation there is - bar sharing a Facebook post or retweeting so

The Labour Party is not facing an existential crisis. It has significant challenges , but these are the problems of success . Nevertheless, one part of the Labour Party is facing a different kind of crisis. Since the summer of 2015 what was the Labour mainstream - and particularly the Brownite and Blairite rights - have not put a single foot right. Utterly discombobulated by a leftist challenge t

this is heartbreaking. I still remember the first time I went to Seattle not long after we moved to North Idaho 30 years ago.

This post is authored by Shea Cotton The upcoming Trump-Kim summit in Hanoi has revived the prospect of formally ending the Korean War.

One objection to SETI is that it is not falsifiable — there is no point at which a lack of signals can prove that extraterrestrial civilizations do not exist. But there are some aspects of SETI that can be falsifiable. Consider a class of objects near enough for us to investigate not only with listening efforts but with probes, one small enough to be thoroughly covered, and one most people know a
We know by now to expect surprises when we do something for the first time with a spacecraft. The latest case in point is OSIRIS-REx, which has revealed multiple unexpected facets of the asteroid Bennu, near which it has been operating since December. Consider the surface of the asteroid, a key factor in how the mission goes forward since this is a sample return mission, and that involves finding
Biosignature gases are those that can alert us to the possibility of life on a planet around another star. We’re moving into the era of biosignature observation by studying the atmospheres of such planets through instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope, and the effort to catalog the combinations of atmospheric gases that point to life is intense and ongoing. One gas has turned out to be c
Dust rings in the Solar System are of interest because they offer clues about the formation of the planets, as well as allowing us to contrast our own circumstellar dust with what we see around other stars in varying stages of planetary development. Recent work out of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center offers a dust ring with a difference from others we’ve found in our own system. Scientists have
When he was considering white dwarfs and neutron stars in the context of what he called ‘gravitational machines,’ Freeman Dyson became intrigued by the fate of a neutron star binary. He calculated in his paper of the same name (citation below) that gradual loss of energy through gravitational radiation would bring the two neutron stars together, creating a gravitational wave event of the sort tha
The question of whether or not we would recognize extraterrestrial life if we encountered it used to occupy mathematician and historian Jacob Bronowski (1908-1974), who commented on the matter in a memorable episode of his 1973 BBC documentary The Ascent of Man . “Were the chemicals here on Earth at the time when life began unique to us? We used to think so. But the most recent evidence is differ

Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP clearly hopes to make Opposition Leader Jason Kenney’s character the ballot box issue for voters in the April 16 provincial election, but will the United Conservative Party’s scandals have as much traction now that the election writ has been dropped?

Based on what we’ve learned in the past 24 hours, it’s hard to dispute Premier Rachel Notley’s blunt assessment at her nomination meeting in the Edmonton-Strathcona riding yesterday that Opposition Leader Jason Kenney has been coolly lying about the role of his 2017 leadership campaign in the so-called “Kamikaze Mission” to sink his rival to lead the opposition United Conservative Party.

Well, I figure I would cover some news from my own formerly free nation called 'Canada'.... And surprisingly but there has been very little reporting coming out of the Jew spew media up here in this Jew controlled nation over these last few days about the continuing SNC Lavalin scandal.... In fact much of the "news" coming over the Talmudvision here in central Canada has instead focused in on the
In this guest post, Richard Ebeling asks why we would want the motivation for New Zealand's worst mass murder to disappear down a memory hole policed by an inexpert minor bureaucrat. I magine that in 1946 the general-secretary of the United Nations had submitted a resolution to the General Assembly stating that Nazi crimes were so horrendous and despicable that the countries of the world needed t
"You never compromise with violence. You never compromise with intimidation. You never compromise with those who want to use it to extinguish freedom and democracy, because if you do then the very things for which you stand are extinguished." ~ Margaret Thatcher, from a 1985 TV interview .

After the Christchurch atrocity, and the political reaction to it, crime researcher Dr. John Lott asks the obvious question : "Police are extremely important in stopping crime, but the police can’t be there all the time. The police themselves understand that they virtually always arrive on the crime scene after the crime has occurred. And that raises a real question, what should people do when th

"If the west resorts to tribalism to defend civilisation, then civilisation is already irredeemably lost." ~ Yaron Brook It takes some time to decompress after an atrocity like Christchurch. Too easy to talk too soon instead of to mourn, to reflect, to maybe try to draw a few lessons that might help you process what happened, and maybe even to make some things better. After Christchurch, after ni
"Of all the 'anti-concepts ' populating our cultural atmosphere, 'extremism' is the most ambitious in scale and implications; it goes much beyond politics... "To begin with, 'extremism' is a term which, standing by itself, has no meaning. The concept of 'extreme' denotes a relation, a measurement, a degree. The dictionary gives the following definition: 'Extreme, adj. -- of a character or kind fa
For years PFYT's has explained, clearly and concisely, how it was that ISIS & PKK/YPG came into Syria through Iraq- Discussing various routes etc., While claims to the otherwise were made the facts always spoke for themselves Here's yet another passage in use since 2013: A border crossing linking Syria's Kurdish-administered areas to Iraq's northern Kurdish region has been flooded due to heavy ra

Hoping to have a week end long break from the blog.

Observations--- the media, main stream and the so called "alternative" media is portraying Erdogan talking about the Christchurch incident to the citizens of Turkey as something irrational. As if it's being discussed for no particular reason at all. But that's not really the case . Of course, it's easy enough to manipulate the masses when you leave out entirely why the Turks are discussing this s
Setting the necessary precedent? I'd say so. You can say ‘well it was only a tweet’. But, it was a significant tweet to be sure. Netanyahu grabbed onto it immediately Reuters U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday it was time to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights that Israel seized from Syria in 1967, marking a dramatic shift in U.S. policy and giving a boost to Israeli Pr

Pesticide Action Network

Here in the U.S., PAN’s work often focuses on mobilizing action around specific pesticides to strengthen regulations, win phaseouts, and spur investment in safer alternatives. Recent examples include our work on chlorpyrifos, which is harmful to the health of children and farmworkers; dicamba, which is wreaking havoc on the crops and livelihoods of farmers across the country; and glyphosate, a pr
Farmers across Iowa are bracing for another year of intense drift, thanks to an increase in use of the herbicide dicamba and other volatile chemicals across the state. For many Iowa farmers — especially vegetable, non-GMO, and organic producers — a single incident of pesticides drifting onto their farm can result in the loss of income for an entire year. But there are a few common-sense steps the
This post is part of an ongoing project by PAN Farmer Justice Fellows who are working to uplift the many different voices of farmers in California. The mission of this work is to broaden the narrative of what it means to be a farmer participating in the state's agricultural system by sharing the wide spectrum of relationships that growers have with land. Feral Heart Farm is a diverse 3.2 acre far
Once again, this Administration is proving they value pesticide industry profits more than children’s health. This is not heated rhetoric, it’s a clear-eyed observation. Earlier this month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appealed a court decision ordering them to protect children and farmworkers from the brain-harming pesticide chlorpyrifos. They argue that the science is “unsettled,”
