WorldbyStorm - 12:05 Wed Aug 12, 2020 Another day, another crisis. And so the IT sends in its crack team of epidemiological experts to assess the problem. Here’s Eoin Burke Kennedy on the response in New Zealand to four new cases after months of none within the state: If we take New Zealand?s example and meet these mini-outbreaks with the sledgehammer of […]A
WorldbyStorm - 07:39 Wed Aug 12, 2020 As always, following on Dr. X?s suggestion, it?s all yours, ?announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose?, feel free.A
WorldbyStorm - 11:03 Tue Aug 11, 2020 That, surely, is the question at the heart of Alex Kane’s thoughtful piece recently in the IT on the nature of unionism at this point in history.

WorldbyStorm - 10:14 Tue Aug 11, 2020 Always fascinated by the fact that Stewart Copeland’s father, Miles Axe Copeland Jr, was a CIA agent in the late forties and early 1950s in the Middle East. During that period he became very close to Nassar. Nassar was another fascinating character – complex, difficult, in a way visionary. Anyhow, Stewart Copeland has a podcast […]A
WorldbyStorm - 08:07 Tue Aug 11, 2020 Thought this letter in the IT worth consideration. There was an article last week about how research had indicated cholesterol lowering drugs were ineffective. I thought the piece odd because it didn’t bother to name any such drugs. Indeed details were thin on the ground in the report. Then I read the critique, in the […]A
WorldbyStorm - 13:52 Mon Aug 10, 2020 Heard this podcast last year from the Guardian during Black History Month on the 1963 Bristol Bus Boycott and an interview with Marvin Rees, the mayor of Bristol and notably, and arguably shockingly given it is now 2020, the first black mayor of a British city. It’s a story of workers and working class people […]A

WorldbyStorm - 12:14 Sun Aug 09, 2020 This is fascinating, in regard to a report on RTÉ in relation to the 2021 Census (how is it going to be conducted? Perhaps it will be grand): For the first time, the census will also include a new voluntary “time capsule”, a feature that will enable people to write a confidential message of their […]A |
