Swimming the Author
England tested witches with water. The suspect was bound, right thumb to left toe, looped to a rope, and lowered into the village pond. Pure water was believed to refuse the devil's servant, so a body that floated was guilty and a body that sank was innocent, and the innocent were hauled up half-drowned to receive the town's apology. The procedure was called swimming a witch, and its genius was architectural: it could only convict. Whatever the water did, the crowd on the bank went home with the verdict it had carried down to the shore. Four centuries on, the pond fits in a browser tab. Paste the chapter. Click the button. Let the water decide. […] -

Ah, nothing like a modern-day witch hunt, complete with a digital pitchfork 🤖🔪. A whopping 1,600 brave souls demand that Meta stop collecting their oh-so-precious keystrokes—because heaven forbid they train AI models with the riveting data of cat memes and endless Slack complaints 🐱💻. Who knew that Big Brother was actually just a really bored intern? 📈🙌

I'm not saying he's an angel, but wow. If only social media, the government and the press went after far worse killers, rapists, tax avoiders and embezzlers.

Watched "In the Lost Lands" recently. In a post-apocalyptic world (think #MadMax) there's a #witch who fulfills wishes to those who come to her and pay a price.
The "church" is trying to hunt her down while she is trying to fulfill two contradicting wishes: The queen has asked her (the witch) to grant her (the queen) the power of a shapeshifting, while the chief of the "king's" guard has asked the witch to fail the queen in her wish.
Overall, I'd say the movie is great for the dark atmosphere and the brutal, mercyless world it's set in, if you don't care for a sensible story.
7.5/10
In the credits it said the movie is based on a story by #GeorgeRRMartin.

I'm not an expert on the #Epstein files.
However, it does seem ridiculous to me that any person mentioned in the #EpsteinFiles or having had contact with Epstein is now considered a bad person. 🤷
To me, it would require a certain context or deeper involvement in those #abuse parties in order to blame someone having had contact with that asshole.

I highly recommend watching this #PressConference from #Minnesota yesterday. It's powerful & informative. The passionate speeches & #CallsToAction #solidarity were inspiring ❤️🔥❤️
In Minnesota, two well-known #CivilRights activists Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen, as well as activist William Kelly were taken into federal custody on Thursday. Federal officials are calling the disruption, which injured no one, a “coordinated attack” and also "anti-Christian" — despite Armstrong being a Christian preacher herself who argues that ICE's activities violate the teachings of the gospel.
Local ICE Director David Easterwood is the pastor of Cities Church in St. Paul. Charging papers were not immediately available.

Trump has no idea what words mean or the context of them, he calls out the Dems for hoax or being in the Trump/Epstein files without any proof, this is what Witch hunt really means, he says the Radical Left is after him but I would say that's the whole left and some of the right that is after him,

US bans ex-EU commissioner, others over social media rules – DW – 12/24/2025
https://www.dw.com/en/us-bans-ex-eu-commissioner-others-over-social-media-rules/a-75291190
With this awkward and rogue US Administration, we are in the grip of a new McCarthy era...
Given the project 2025 information already available and denied by Trump before his very narrow election, it has been clear where this is going. Nothing good will come from this.

Only one more day left to score 40% off books from Penn State University Press (ends December 19).
One of their strengths is in the #history of #witchcraft, including translated primary sources and this wonderful book on the #WitchHunt in the #Basque region of Spain. Yes, you should expect the #SpanishInquisition, but also skepticism (from the Spanish Inquisition), the rare phenomenon of child #witches, and how local beliefs and connections shaped the experiences of the villagers in the middle of the storm. Based on fresh readings of the trial records and new archival material - yes, #historians are still making new discoveries!

And she signed off on this ...
Does anyone remember and then they came for me and there was no left? #witchhunt

the witch hunt was historically a “war against women” launched to destroy those who resisted the enclosure of common lands and the imposition of tyranny. Albanese is the modern target of this war because she resists the enclosure of #Palestine and the tyranny of impunity.

A quotation from Henry Commager
What happens when a state tries to purge its state universities or a community tries to purge its public schools of alleged subversives? […] What happens is the demoralization and eventual corruption of the school system.
This is not a momentary or even temporary affair; it is something the consequences of which may be felt for years. The search for subversives results in the intimidation of the independent, the original, the imaginative, and the experimental-minded. It discourages independence of thought in teachers and students alike. It discourages the reading of books that may excite the suspicion of some investigator or some Legionnaire. It discourages the discussion of controversial matters in the classroom, for such discussion may be reported, or misreported, and cause trouble. It creates a situation where first-rate minds will not go into teaching or into administration and where students therefore get poor teaching.
In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience. In the long run it will create a generation not only deprived of liberty but incapable of enjoying liberty.Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

BREAKING: Federal judge dismissed criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
In unrelated news, hopefully they both sue Trump, Halligan and the DOJ for damages and legal fees.

@kelvin0mql
Lord Kelvin, if you find - in the popular imagination - such deviations from reality to be distracting, I fear you shall become so devoted to trying to explain to people that they are living in Plato's cave, that by the end of your life you shall have good units of measure that well represent reality named after you.Heuristic shortcuts are EVERYWHERE. Most heartbreaking (to me) is when someone is imprisoned or excommunicated or killed because they used reality (or its closest proxy) as their benchmark, and their judges (&/or police) did not. An almost-literal witch-hunt.
