3 d. ago My message from prison: Just Stop Oil may be ending civil disruption, but the struggle must go on | Indigo Rumbelow

We forced the government to take some action, but still it closes it eyes to the impending climate collapse. A new method of confrontation is neededIndigo Rumbelow is co-founder of Just Stop Oil. She is currently on remand in HMP StyalAfter three years, Just Stop Oil is ending its campaign of non-violent civil disruption: we are hanging up the high-vis. But this does not mean the resistance is over. Sitting here in a prison cell in HMP Styal, I am still demanding an end to oil and gas. Every prison key that rattles, every door that is bolted shut, every letter that is read by the prison staff – it all reminds me that 15 Just Stop Oil supporters are currently locked up for refusing to obey governments whose climate inaction is frankly murderous.There has been some progress.

9 d. ago I’ve got the message: security leaks are no laughing matter | Stewart Lee

Is it worth me writing jokes about Trump’s US? It looks like they are targeting even their mildest visa-carrying criticsDuring the Brexit era, it became obvious many comments under these columns were being placed by Russian trolls, with slightly strange grasps of idiomatic English, cut-and-pasting blocks of approved pro-Putin and anti-EU texts to change the direction of the discourse. Their posts read like the computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but trained on 90s MTV Europe presenters’ accents and Russia Today op-eds.I began to bait the bots by inserting deliberately incomprehensible, but also somehow provocative, sentences into my pieces, culminating in the following paragraph, from the summer of 2016, after which point the Russian provocateurs left me alone: Continue reading...
