in which Dunt outs himself as a zio-apologist. So much coded and inflammatory language in the quoted part of the Politico article (which wasn't provided by Dunt). Dunt: "I find myself getting quite frustrated with this 'well it's a contested definition'. It's only contested if you think the views of ignorant people are as valid as those who know what they're talking about."

"She’d even met a nice Christian man and after a few months of dating had gotten married, hosting a “spiritual ceremony,” as she called it, in a small chapel on the Las Vegas Strip. Within a few weeks, at age 30, she’d gotten pregnant, believing she could grow both a baby and a lifestyle brand simultaneously, two beautiful creations intertwined." The article is chock full of other hilarities. Cheered me up no end. Sort of. https://unwall.app/www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/0...

"Snufkin was sitting before his tent, painting a cork fishing float. Moomintroll looked at him, and straight away he felt happy over his dragon again. 'Whew,' he said. 'Families are a nuisance sometimes.' Snufkin grunted in agreement without taking his pipe from his mouth. They sat silent for a while, in male and friendly solidarity. 'By the way,' Moomintroll suddenly said. 'Have you ever come across a dragon on your wanderings?'" #MoominMonday #...

"With the myth of the State out of the way, the real mutuality and reciprocity of society and the individual became clear. Sacrifice might be demanded of the individual, but never compromise: for though only the society could give security and stability, only the individual, the person, had the power of moral choice - the power of change, the essential function of life."

"In a debate where the fears of white women are used to whip up hatred of minority men, it’s vital that women who refuse that framing of our experiences can be heard."

"The technology in these glasses could be a force for good." Lib Dem MP for Cheltenham Max Wilkinson on stage at their conference, speaking about Meta's perv glasses.

"You’ll doubtless have noted the increasingly Orwellian terminology applied to parties such as the AfD, Reform and the like. It started with “far” right, then moved to “hard” right, then “radical” right. Soon they will be labelled the “rabid right” by politicians who sit like blancmanges as tens of thousands more young men stream into Europe ...

“The last government … gleefully laid the groundwork to enable Reform’s plans, playing into their migrant-demonising rhetoric, attacking fundamental rights such as access to jury trials, and rolling out greater surveillance of our citizens. All of these contributed to a situation where an authoritarian, anti-migrant state agency could be allowed to run riot over our civil liberties.” https://www.thenerve.news/p/ice-tech-contractors-uk-british-state-contracts-nigel-farage-reform-andy-burnham #U...

"But for now, it’s just so much safer to look away, to keep one’s head down, periodically checking on the balance of polite society to see if it is not too troublesome yet to state what to the conscience was never unclear.” A worthwhile review of a spectacular book, which I can't recommend highly enough. https://observer.co.uk/culture/books/article/omar-el-akkad-lays-bare-the-wests-betrayal-of-gaza 1/ #Bookstodon #FreePalestine #StopTheGenocide

The last message of Anas Al-Sharif, who was assassinated by Zionists on 10th August 2025. Obviously it contains distressing details about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and of the genocide. ✊ ❤️ 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine #IsraelIsATerrorState

"The well rising without sound, the spring on a hillside, the plowshare brimming through deep ground everywhere in the field - The sharp swallows in their swerve flaring and hesitating hunting for the final curve coming closer and closer - The swallow heart from wingbeat to wingbeat counselling decision, decision: thunderous examples. I place my feet with care in such a world." 'The Well Rising', by William E Stafford #Poetry #Bookstodon #Nature

What's that? The BBC covering up war crimes, you say?

"Out came Snufkin and the grasshopper, playing with all their might. A huge barrel of palm-wine was rolled out, and everyone got a little birch-bark mug to drink from. The glow-worms rolled themselves into a ball in the middle of the glade, and everybody sat around drinking wine and eating sandwiches. 'Now we should tell a story,' said Sniff. And nobody gave a thought to the comet that was rushing towards them, lighting up the night with its fierce glow." #MoominMonday #Bo...

"Once upon a time, rather long ago, it so happened that Moominpappa went away from home without the least explanation and without even himself understanding why he had to go. Moominmamma said afterwards that he had seemed odd for quite a time, but probably he hadn't been odder than usual. 'He'll be back in due time,' she said. 'That's what he used to tell me from the beginning, so I suppose he'll return this time too.' No one felt worried, and that was a...

"you may see nothing here only an empty room, but in these timber baseboards, I see a forest bewitched, an impossible forest that cannot exist, so we could never sit up late plotting our crossing through it - and yet, on a branch within, an owl is peering up, his curved beak hushed, cursed his shrill eyes disguised now by twin brown knots in the wood, in the woods, and that gaze of his how he seems to say I see through you I do, I see through you." #Poetry #Booksto...
