  4. CW: Biography of Gordon Brown, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland

    A new biography of Gordon Brown, by James Macintyre, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland.

    I always had a lot of sympathy for Gordon Brown. His politics was far from perfect and the New Labour project started trends that did not end well. But, hell, what Labour did in government after 1997 was an incredible achievement, and Brown as Chancellor made it happen. The man also has personal integtity. On all of these fronts, the current Labour crop fail abysmally.

    A sympatheric review of a sympathetic biography. I probably won't buy the book, but I recommend reading the review.

    And I raise my virtual class to a politician of integrity and stature.

  5. In Memory Of Chris Boucher
    Doctor Who The Face Of Evil

    DOCTOR: Hello. Hello, did I startle you? Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.
    LEELA: The Evil One.
    DOCTOR: Well, nobody's perfect, but that's overstating it a little. I'm the Doctor. What's your name?
    LEELA: Leela.
    DOCTOR: Leela. A nice name, Leela. I never met anyone called Leela. Would you like a jelly baby?
    LEELA: It's true, then. They say the Evil One eats babies.

  7. #ADL chief compares student protesters to Islamist terrorists

    #JonathanGreenblatt also said protests against #Israel were driven by ‘same kind of nihilists’ who participated in Black Lives Matter

    from #TheForward
    [#Jewish publication from #USA]

    By Arno Rosenfeld and Jacob Kornbluh June 6, 2025

    [contains links to audio of his speech]

    "“We are an apolitical, non-partisan organization, but you have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what’s happening on the left,” #Greenblatt said Friday, according to audio from the event obtained by the #Forward.

    “There is a throughline from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” he added, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement launched a decade ago to protest police violence. “They are the same people, these are the same kind of nihilists.”"

  8. The Man Who Sued Everyone (Including Guinness): Inside Jonathan Lee Riches’ Legal Chaos

    Illustration of courtroom chaos inspired by high-volume legal filings (image credit: conceptual/AI-generated style)

    Dear Cherubs, Jonathan Lee Riches is what happens when a filing fee meets unlimited imagination and absolutely no intention of subtlety. Over the years, he became infamous for launching thousands of lawsuits from prison, targeting everyone from presidents to pop stars—and yes, even institutions like Guinness World Records.

    THE MAN WHO SUED EVERYONE, INCLUDING REALITY
    Riches’ reputation comes from an almost surreal volume of legal filings submitted while he was incarcerated in the United States. According to publicly documented court records and summaries, he filed thousands of civil complaints, many of which read less like legal arguments and more like chaotic crossovers between celebrity gossip and alternate history fan fiction.

    Among his more widely reported targets were George W. Bush, Britney Spears, Michael Vick, Steve Jobs, and even abstract entities like the Eiffel Tower. At one point, he even attempted legal action involving Guinness World Records, reportedly in response to disputes around “most litigious person” style labels. Spoiler: the courts were not entertained.

    As noted in reporting compiled by sources like Wikipedia and federal court summaries, these cases were consistently dismissed as frivolous, legally insufficient, or failing basic procedural requirements. Judges did not so much “consider” his claims as they did swiftly send them into judicial oblivion.

    Low-key, the legal system treated his filings like someone spamming the “submit” button on reality itself.

    WHEN COURTS STOPPED PLAYING ALONG
    Eventually, the pattern became impossible to ignore. Courts across multiple jurisdictions began dismissing his cases en masse, often citing the Prison Litigation Reform Act rules designed to prevent abusive or repetitive filings. In simpler terms: the system basically said, “we are not doing this with you anymore.”

    In some instances, courts reportedly imposed restrictions on his ability to file new lawsuits without permission. That’s the legal equivalent of being put on “internet probation,” but for courtrooms.

    What makes Riches so widely discussed isn’t that he ever won landmark cases—he didn’t—but rather the sheer scale and creativity of his filings. It’s giving legal chaos energy with zero filters and maximum persistence.

    According to commentary on thisclaimer.com, cases like his highlight how open court systems can be both powerful and vulnerable: they allow access to justice, but also occasionally become stages for absurdity when abused. It’s a reminder that procedure matters just as much as imagination.

    Today, Riches remains a reference point in legal discussions about vexatious litigants—people who file so many baseless suits that courts must step in to protect the system itself. In internet terms, he basically achieved “ban speedrun any%,” but through federal court orders.

    So while Guinness World Records may not be adding a “most chaotic litigant” category anytime soon, Jonathan Lee Riches already occupies a permanent niche in legal folklore: the man who sued basically everything except, ironically, common sense.
