The Russian billionaires are entirely self-made. Their parents didn't have a billion roubles down the back of the sofa in 1990! They got it from privatization & organized crime & exploitation & cosying up to a reactionary state—that's what the phrase "self-made billionaire" means

Practical sortitionist demands: 1. Defend juries The right to trial by jury, & jurors' right to acquit based on conscience, are vital defences against authoritarianism. Resist any attempt to erode them

The Chinese say that if you haven't memorized large chunks of texts, then you simply don't have enough "ink in your stomach," which means you can't write - you don't know enough to use allusions, to play with intertextuality, to be in dialogue w existing lit.

This is right. I've been a bit surprised how many people are insisting it was a deliberate We're With Enoch, when the alternative explanation—that Sir Keir wasn't consciously quoting Powell, he just agrees with him—seems more likely & also more damning

#OTD 1944 The world premiere of the Powell / Pressburger film 'A Canterbury Tale' was shown at The Friars Cinema, #Canterbury. Starring Sheila Sim and Eric Portman, the film included many local personalities. Proceeds went towards education facilities to worthy local children.

- China lost 15 to 20 million people fighting Japan. - Japan occupied Vietnam (then French Indochina), and between 1 and 2 million died from famine. - Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union, and lost 10% of its population. What the hell is this?
