- “A costume which critics said was antisemitic”? What do YOU say, Zoe Williams? 20th September 2026“Dear Ed Sheeran, fence-sitting is so last century: musicians can no longer opt out of politics”, writes Zoe Williams in the Guardian. Macklemore, both onstage and in his own statement, has rebuffed the argument that voicing support for Palestinians and criticising Israel and its actions in Gaza and the West Bank is antisemitic. (In 2014, […]Natalie Solent (Essex)
- Samizdata quote of the day – Don’t succumb to the great AI panic 19th September 2026Yet when it comes to AI, I have found the evolution of this carefully staged exercise in scaremongering different in some respects. For a start, this is clearly a top-down campaign, orchestrated by industry insiders. Indeed, as far back as 12 years ago, those in the know began to raise the alarm about AI. In […]Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)
- Piddington parts? 18th September 2026The other day the people of the small Oxfordshire village of Piddington voted to leave Great Britain. Of course, they have no intention of doing any such thing: this was an attempt to demonstrate locals’ anger at the proposal to house over a thousand illegal immigrants at a nearby disused military base. But what if […]Patrick Crozier (Twickenham)

So-called educational systems teach young students what to believe, how to behave, and perhaps skills deemed necessary—not to question.

- Review: Lawrence in Arabia 10th June 2021Scott Anderson’s Lawrence in Arabia is, quite obviously, about the famous T. E. Lawrence “of” Arabia. The book ranges significantly wider than Lawrence’s personal account, however, shifting between the perspectives of Ottoman officials, German spies, American spies, Zionist spies, and of course British spies. I read this book concurrently with The Berlin-Baghdad Express, so my […]evolutiontheorist
