OwlFancier posted:It's broadly the same issue with representing say, the monarchy, as good, well meaning, sympathetic people. Because the actual monarchy is a massive wealth extracting nonce club, and it's a massive wealth extracting nonce club because it's the monarchy, its structure makes it that thing, the two are inseperable. It can be done though. Song of Ice and Fire has tons of likeable and sympathetic monarchic characters but the theme of 'feudalism is a pain machine that needs to end' still shines through.

FWIW if anyone else is looking for non-cop whodunnits, The Bletchley Circle and its follow up The Bletchley Circle San Francisco are great, and the latter is super gay considering the time period. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is also reasonable.

The nation-state is a doomed project, but for example some postcolonial national governments would face enormous, even existential, criticism if they took all the bits about structural racism out of a report on structural racism during an epidemic. Extremely cool to see that Whitehall is currently at the "In ensuring the social development of both white and non-white society, we have taken the step of [pages 2-9 removed due to State of Emergency] which consultation has shown to be satisfactory to all groups." stage of statecraft.

I'm drowning in bloody mosquitoes. And those midges are swarming (idiot me forgot to shut living room window before sundown). At least they're not in the bedroom this time. Thank goodness for the insect repellent. Where do they think I am, on holiday abroad? (There's a river runs about 20m from my windows).

Last year I nailed some bits of wood together and stapled some netting from boyes across it and it's probably the most productive use of a couple of hours in my life ever. I've had barely any wildlife incursions and have also barely closed my window for the past couple of months. Partly because I have to un-wedge the net frame to get at the handles. If you're more patient and have an actually square window (and if it's your house which I think yours is?) you could probably do a lot better and use a proper mozzie net as mine's a bit wonky.

I am also crap at DIY which is why they're held together with four brackets and about six screws, half the staples wouldn't go all the way in, and the thing won't stay straight, but fortunately the window frame isn't square either so it still wedges in alright. If I could be arsed I'd remake it with proper joints and better wood but even the mess it is is still night and day. God only knows why they aren't more common in the UK.

Are they the big buggers with the weird dangly proboscis? I admit I've never been quite clear how big they are. I always thought mosquitoes were like, midgie sized. I definitely don't remember them past a couple of years ago either. Guess it's the weather. We're wet enough but maybe not hot enough normally.

I never saw a mosquito anywhere I lived in the UK until I think it was 2012! That may just be better car design picking up less of them, but I drove an old boxy pos in the late 00s and there were definitely less insects than in the 80s and 90s. Maybe they're all coming back again because of lockdown. I hope malaria doesn't return to the Fens. The screen doors/windows is another note in my "why the hell did the UK abandon sash windows for hinged ones?" log though, because all the window fly screen designs are for US style sash ones, which are the same as Georgian and Victorian UK house ones.

There are less insects. It's all part of the massive ecosystem collapse that humans are responsible for. One German study found a 75% collapse in 26 years.

I went looking for a picture of Desmond swayne to illustrate why that's awful but not surprising (which I found) just the headline of the article makes it even less surprising, but more awful Tory MP Sir Desmond Swayne admits 'blacking up' at fancy dress party and says he has 'no intention' of apologising and the article is somehow worse still Torygraph posted:ir Desmond Swayne, the Conservative MP, has admitted 'blacking up' as soul singer James Brown for a fancy dress party. reckon the ehrc will be investigating endemic racism in the Tory party any time soon?

I had just finished reading this spectator article about how white, privileged, antifa are taking over the BLM protestors. I was scoffing at it and then immediately stumbled across this video: https://twitter.com/s_Allahverdi/status/1267240521052946432 In which a white person with a hammer is smashing up the pavement to pick up chunks to throw at the police, and the predominantly black protestors then promptly take him ("it's the white people!", "get the white people!") and then hand him over to the police. Which makes me wonder is this actually a thing? Is there some supplanting of the black voices that are in favour of peaceful protest going on in the US, or was it just a massive coincidence that I appeared to randomly land on a confirmatory tweet?
