Saturday, December 31, 2005. Guardian editor replies to Obsolete's disappointment at no coverage of Murray in the paper. Alan Rusbridger is currently on holiday, but has said that it should have been covered in response to an email from Obsolete. Excuses apart, it's good to see that some editors will engage with us commoners. Links to this post. Abolish the honours system.

Open threads at the Open Thread tab every Sunday and Wednesday. Links 8/15: A Link In The Armor. August 7, 2015. Today, we are cancelling the beepocalypse! As per Washington Post, although colony collapse disorder remains a problem, it is not an existential threat because beekeepers are now able to breed new colonies faster than old ones are being damaged. Number of available bee colonies is actually higher than it was when the disease started. And which denounced immigration. The model of racial “...
