This is the current state of play on Wikipedia. I think it's time to update the rules on Internet comparison with Fascism. Godwin appears to agree.

Godwin has denied the need to update or amend the rule. In June 2018, he wrote, in an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times: "It still serves us as ...

Trump sparked anger in France on Thursday after making fun of the French president and his wife, imitating a French accent and saying Emmanuel Macron's wife "treats him extremely badly".

I note President Trump is giving an April Fool's Address to the Nation at 9pm EST tonight.

And here is is:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on the war against Iran, delivered Wednesday, April 1, 2026, as transcribed by The Associated Press:

I note President Trump is giving an April Fool's Address to the Nation at 9pm EST tonight.

When Donald Trump launched his dangerous and very illegal war against Iran, he broke with modern presidential tradition. Rather than give a live primetime address, as is customary, he posted a prerecorded ...

The overlay of the eternal spirit manifestation as physical is redundant to the warning. The warning stands perfectly well without the manifestation which can't communicate with its host or anyone else, can't be observed, can't intervene.

I must confess that, at this point, I fear the looming "Vance Administration" much more that whatever the incumbent Administration will come up with.

He's just outed himself as manic fringe. With a potential president so far removed from reality the world can breathe more easily.

What is so pusillanimous, so tentative on Donny's part is his hesitancy to actually stick tariffs to the world. If he hadn't dithered about for a year it might have had a more significant role.

Recent political events tend to confirm rather than alter my position as far as patriotism and electorates are concerned.

It's worth noting that the holographic concept may not be correct, and the third dimension isn't just a holographic illusion. It may exist more tangibly and emerge in some way from a flat microgrid.

It has been said that the "extraction" was "negotiated", and was agreed upon, so wife went also. Has not been verified, but it's a possibility.

That sounds like negotiated within the building at the time, not by email two days in advance. Any notice would have put the city on alert. But I can ...

There will already be casualties, conservatively in the hundreds.

And the oddest thing is the extraction of Maduro's wife, which implies to me at least one of the couple died. I can think of no other reason to have taken her.

You are assuming that he has previous convictions for rage attacks of one form or another. What is certain is that he has had previous episodes, most of which will have gone under the radar - he knew he had anger management problems and in the first instance, it was his responsibility to seek ...

Terrified was merely my speculation. Rage was my statement copied from the report, I'm quite sure he had no intention of becoming raged and then there it was, like a light switch as the article quoted.

I note with interest there are no remaining delivery slots available at Tesco until after Christmas. The earliest was Saturday 27th December, which I booked - that's eleven days away.

My arrangements are still fluid.

I wonder - is there a tradition or even an instance of a mausoleum wherein the public may view the curated remains of the deceased? Mao has one. Lenin has one.

In my opinion, however, Marxism is bankrupt.

Surprisingly, I actually agree with your theses almost in their entirety.

I would, however, add one statement to page one - “There is no God but God”. The God of each of these religions is one and the same. The religions might have different views of observable reality but the underlying reality ...

Don't go in asking them how they are. Lead whatever conversation can be had, don't sit watching.

Marxism was primarily culturally conditioned, its statements have in general not aged well.

Generally, you don't agree with Marxism, do you ?

On the contrary, I suggest Marxism was an excellent analysis of the condition of the 19th century as seen by someone living through it. Marx was an ...

I welcome the continued consideration of this matter.

My reaction, which I hope you might agree has merit, is that your position is intuitive. And I would agree you have thought longer and harder about the issue than I have and that I would trust your intuition more than I would trust my own in ...

And yet it has to be a car with available parts and servicing in Florida.

And to be honest I didn't think the Trax was the sort of car you'd ever have chosen, which is why I picked it because you said it was an odd choice. And it's a lot better than it used to be, so it's said.

It can't be a Trabant. There's no new Trabants. Indeed, if there turns out to be a warehouse crammed to the rafters with long-term stored mint Trabants in packing grease, whoever owns it could make a mint today on the nostalgia market.

I reckon the car we're looking for is a Trax.

That sounds like a Tesla then.

Does Florida feel much different this year than ten years back? It's generated a lot of news, what with Senators and Governors and people standing their ground and such.

Although in my first post I wrote about the Father of cosmoses, it could be that the Father refers to a single cosmos, and each cosmos has its own separate Father.

That sort of behaviour is not what the English team should be about. It's only a game, there are higher priorities.

I don’t think he played the game fairly.’ Really get into him and make him feel guilty about it. Make him feel like, ‘They’re probably right ...
