“Sweden’s political parties have launched coalition negotiations as the Social Democrats leader, Magdalena Andersson, started the long and difficult process of trying to form a new government. Full results from Sunday’s election are not expected until after overseas votes are counted on Wednesday, but with 95% of the votes counted, the Social Democrats and the centre-left bloc had a narrow but growing lead of 176 seats to the right-leaning parties’ 173. After losing support for the first time since they were founded, the far-right Sweden Democrats, who were hoping to enter government for the first time, appear to be out of the picture. But many of its policy ideas – on immigration laws, integration and crime – have become mainstream, including in the centre-left.” (09/14/26)

“Macklemore has been kicked off the rest of Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour after several venues said they would refuse to let the rapper perform after his anti-Israel rants on stage. ‘We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans,’ Messina Touring Group, which is promoting the US leg of Sheeran’s Loop Tour, told Rolling Stone magazine. ‘After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,’ the company added. The lefty rapper was scheduled to play at eight of the 10 remaining shows, scheduled to resume on Saturday.” (09/14/26)

“Lawyers dealing with bitemark evidence were often in a no-win position in the 1990s. This was the heyday of forensic odontology. Defense attorneys generally chose one of two options: they could either attack the field broadly as unscientific and illegitimate, or they could bring in their own bitemark analyst to counter the state’s witness. In an ideal world, defense attorneys would have attacked the field — because it isn’t legitimate. There is no scientific foundation for the idea that bite marks on human skin can be matched to one person to the exclusion of everyone else. … Once courts started accepting bitemark evidence as legitimate, most defense attorneys decided that it was a waste of time and resources to challenge the field as a whole. So they went for option two: calling their own bitemark analysts to counter state experts.” (09/14/26)

“Democrats in Washington have committed the party’s newest unforgivable offense: representing the American people. Democratic Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington broke with their party Sept. 1 to advance a procedural rule allowing the House to consider Golden’s Northeast Lobsterman Protection Act and a resolution condemning socialism. The rule passed 210–208, with five Republicans opposed, making their votes decisive. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic leaders accused them of blindsiding the caucus, called their decision ‘a significant breach of trust’ requiring ‘a serious response’ and asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to review the matter. Think about the political message Democrats sent: Helping Maine lobstermen fight burdensome regulations and allowing Congress to vote on a resolution condemning socialism are now acts of political blasphemy inside the Democratic Party. Democrats will insist their outrage is about House procedure and not lobstermen.” (09/14/26)

“Officials at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts have warned that the institution is nearing bankruptcy and could be forced to close as early as Tuesday, Sept. 15, according to multiple reports. In documents obtained by The Washington Post and The New York Times, the Kennedy Center’s current leadership — which was installed by President Donald Trump — argued that the institution faces ‘certain fiscal collapse’ unless the president’s name is added back to its facade. … The draft resolution claims that within a few weeks the institution will not be able to pay employees or meet maintenance costs, according to the Post. … ‘The board understands that without such appropriate recognition it is unlikely that President Trump will provide the fundamental oversight of the renovation of the main building and lead the fiscal rescue of the center,’ the draft resolution states, the Times reported.” (09/14/26)

“A mosaic is made of broken things. So is a civilization worth rebuilding. Recently, I found an out-of-print book by an author who is clearly a torchbearer. It struck me that his three spheres illuminated something fundamental. His name was Spencer Heath, and in 1957 he published Citadel, Market and Altar. Heath’s civilization comprises three primary spheres. 1. Citadel is the sphere of protection, where what is vital is secured and defended. 2. Market is a sphere of cooperation where we serve each other in reciprocity and mutual benefit. 3. Altar is the sphere of consecration, where art, philosophy, and divinity express our higher-order aspirations. From a sufficient altitude, we can view underthrow through these spheres.” (09/14/26)

“The other day I saw another great example of the way people in capitalist societies tend to reframe their dumb luck as the result of their own hard work and resourcefulness. At the end of the last season of the surivalist competition Alone Australia, the winner Trent Felton was asked if he felt he’d just gotten lucky catching dozens of fish while all the other contestants starved, and he insisted that his success was actually due to the fact that he had made the wise decision to work hard obtaining food. ‘My strategy when I went out there was food,’ said Felton. ‘I’ve been a big fan of the show for a long time, and I’ve never really seen anyone leave ‘cause their shelter’s not quite up to scratch or anything like that, so from day one priority for me was food.'” (09/12/26)
