  9. "The #CommunitySecurityTrust (#CST), an organisation that provides security support to the #Jewish community, recorded 1,926 incidents of anti-Jewish hate across the #UK in the first six months of 2026.

    It represents a 21% increase on the number of similar incidents reported in the first half of last year.

    It also marks the second highest total of #antisemitic hate incidents ever recorded by CST in the first half of any year since the organisation began collecting data in 1984.

    Policing Minister Sarah Jones said the numbers were "appalling" and showed people "living in fear just for being who they are".

    The incidents logged in the first few months of 2026 include a series of #arson attacks against Jewish organisations and #synagogues in #London.

    Four volunteer ambulances were set alight in #GoldersGreen in March. The following month two visibly Jewish men were #stabbed nearby, in an attack which was treated as an act of #terrorism."

  17. From the Gift of Fire to Global Arson

    "When Prometheus, according to the myth, brought fire to earth, another crucial input was added. Fire has been used to cook food and harden tools for hundreds of thousands of years. In this sense, it can be said that all history implies the history of the uses of fire."

    "But where trees could only be burnt once, the weights of the factors labour and fire shifted with the discovery of underground deposits of coal and oil. Modern humanity, according to Peter Sloterdijk, can be considered a collective of arsonists who set fires to the underground forests and moors. If Prometheus were to return to Earth today, he might regret his gift; after all, what looms is nothing less than Ekpyrosis, the demise of the world in fire. And only a new, energetic pacifism can prevent this catastrophe." >>

  22. #Wildfire season is #Disinformation season! 🔥💬

    I debunked very common but misleading arguments designed to deny any impact of #ClimateChange. Every year they keep coming back - with catastrophic fires near #Bordeaux and #Madrid, this year is no different.

    Find here the original blog post for
    @Volksverpetzer (in German, if interested simply use a website translator):
    volksverpetzer.de/analyse/wald

    Here are the main points summarized in English:

    1. Of course air #temperature has an impact on wildfires. Yes, hot days will not result in "spontaneous self-ignition" of a forest, but that was never the point. Bringing that up is a classic straw-man fallacy, and using it against climate change impacts is a logical mistake.

    2. #Arson is not an argument against the impact of climate change. Global warming impacts both natural and human-caused ignitions and makes resulting fires more difficult to control.

    3. Many regions across the globe are experiencing a #trend towards increased wildfire activity. However, those who refer to the decline in globally summed up burned area over the last 20 years to say otherwise ignore important context and draw an invalid conclusion from the data.

    As I predicted in 2023 - It needs to be stressed that institutions commonly linked to systematic #disinformation about climate change are starting to include wildfire in their repertoire and misleading arguments will likely continue to spread and evolve. It is good to check before sharing!

  23. The bit that you skip #207: Drive-By Truckers – The Great Car Dealer War

    Back in the day, blogs were great places to find new bands and the odd free MP3 was a keen way to get you into liking a new band. Blogspot in particular was great for finding out of print albums and rarities that were either overpriced or simply no longer available.

    MP3 blogs were also great for discovering bands that had a long career and you just had to listen to. Such was the case for me with Drive-By Truckers, whom just like R.E.M., are Athens, Georgia natives. Dunno what’s in the drinking water there, but we’ve got several bands hailing from the town.

    The Great Car Dealer War was the song I heard by Drive-By Truckers. I know songs like to tell stories, and some succeed more often than not. The chiaroscuro landscape Drive-By Truckers paint is grimy suburban decay. A series of arson attacks leading to murder, fueled by greed and several competing car dealer giants in an unspecified southern town.

    Our protagonist, half-confessing, half-bragging, ready with a can of petrol and a book of matches. He justifies himself, having just “some fun”, and once the war is done, having fulfilled tour of duty, he walk along, with only his conscience overwhelmed by guilt. He’ll never have another drink without growing eyes on his back. He’ll never walk into a room without thinking it might be his last day out of prison (or worse).

    The Great Car Dealer War was first included in the odds and sods collection The Fine Print (a collection of oddities and rarities). It’s a strange place to start with Drive-By Truckers, but it’s the place I started at!

    Back in the 90s, there was a string of arson attacks directed to bathroom tile and toilet shops. Over a series of continuous Fridays, you could listen to fire trucks and car cops running up and down the vicinity. Not much coverage on the newspapers, and they just suddenly stopped. Never knew what was all that about, but wrote a short story about it ages ago. Hope you like.

  25. Sapphire Beach housing

    "Flames swept through Coffs Harbour's most expensive house on Tuesday night, just weeks after the vacant headland home was approved for demolition...Under approved plans, the sprawling 15-bedroom, 15-bathroom home with a 7-car garage would be replaced by a contemporary home of the same floor space."

    "The luxury beachfront property (had) fallen into disrepair and the station officer on scene spoke to the police officer, who said it's known for vandalism and sort of progressed down to arson." >>
