“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.”

Iain Banks died last Sunday, just before the publication of his final novel The Quarry. Last month he talked to Stuart Kelly about writing, politics and all the things still left to do . . .
Contraversial hot take: Judge Dredd was not a fascist.
He solved problems caused by two things;
Time travelling dinosaurs etc
And people being the worst.
He followed the rules to the letter and could not accept others not doing so.
He was, in fact, an autist.
Too much of the discourse is "AI is wrong but dont hurt their feelies by calling them names."
Thats how we got this far into this mess in the first place.

Belfast here.
We have not fallen, and we stand against the criminals and terroriats who rioted last night.
They are the minority we will not stand with.

My thing helps no one and is of no relevance, so perhaps Ill not.
This is the iconic icon of this iconic decade of iconography
I hate the word iconic so much.
