Roger Waters’ UN Speech, Like Meddle, Best Experienced on Acid
“I’d like to be home with my monkey and my dog,” a woman, following a cacophony of voices commenting on fish, repeats immediately prior to the standout track on Roger Waters’s 1987 album Radio K.A.O.S.
“I don’t care,” disc jockey Alan Ladd interrupts. “Shut up! Play the record.”
When he finally does, a glorious sound silences all the bizarre nonsense talk. “Home,” the best number of Waters’s post–Pink Floyd career, combines dated, very-’80s period instrumentation, the great Clare Torry of “Great Gig in the Sky” fame providing a Floyd feel, and the lyricist’s characteristic way of lulling listeners with hypnotic verbal and sonic patterns before snapping everyone out of it with a jarring “When the cowboys and Arabs draw down at noon in the cool dusty air of the city boardroom” climax.

Turkey earthquake: Why did so many buildings collapse?
The sight of newly constructed apartments collapsing in the earthquakes that hit Turkey has sparked anger. The BBC examined three new buildings, turned to rubble, to find out what they reveal about building safety.
Two major earthquakes – measuring 7.8 and 7.5 on the magnitude scale – flattened buildings of all kinds and killed thousands of people across southern Turkey and northern Syria.
But the fact that even some of the newest apartment blocks crumbled to dust has led to urgent questions about building safety standards.
Terry Glavin: Deference to Beijing a hallmark of the Trudeau Liberals
It was a peculiar exchange that betrayed quite a bit about the Trudeau government’s entanglements with Beijing’s various friends and interlocutors in Canada, and it was doubly awkward, coming at a time when the Liberal government is trying to give the appearance of acting on what it claims to stand for in the matter of refugees, the global traffic in slave goods, and Xi Jinping’s sadistic throttling of democratic life in Hong Kong.

Nets Ignore Hearing on Twitter’s Hunter Biden Laptop Story Censorship
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee grilled former Twitter executives over their censorship and suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, with two of the executives even admitting it was a mistake to have suppressed the story and suspended the New York Post for publishing and posting it on their platform. Predictably the three broadcast networks ignored the story.

Fury in Ukraine as Elon Musk’s SpaceX limits Starlink use for drones
A senior Ukrainian presidential aide has reacted with anger after Elon Musk’s SpaceX said it had taken steps to prevent its Starlink satellite communications service from controlling drones, which are critical to Kyiv’s forces in fighting off the Russian invasion.
Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s chief operating officer, said at a conference in the US that the surprise decision had been taken because it had never been the company’s intention to allow Starlink to be used “for offensive purposes”.

Pierre Poilievre hits back at CBC head’s ‘partisan attack’
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has accused CBC president Catherine Tait of launching a partisan attack on him, saying she is “not even pretending to be unbiased” based on her remarks in a Globe and Mail interview this week.
Ms. Tait also came under fire from CBC viewers and supporters on Wednesday over her disclosure in that same interview that the CBC is preparing to end traditional TV and radio broadcasts and go completely digital, as audiences shift to streaming.
Halyna Hutchins’ family files new lawsuit against Alec Baldwin over fatal ‘Rust’ shooting
The family of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot dead by Alec Baldwin in a 2021 on-set accident, is set to file a new lawsuit against the disgraced actor.
Famed lawyer Gloria Allred will be representing the Hutchins family, she announced in a press release.

Islamic Justice Prevails: Stripped Naked and Paraded in Egypt, Christian Grandmother Is Now the Guilty One
Islamic “justice” — which usually finds Muslims in the right, and non-Muslims in the wrong — or rather, tribal justice, has, once again, prevailed in Egypt.
Not only have the Muslim men who stripped naked and publicly abused an elderly Christian grandmother been acquitted in a court of law; now she is the one facing serious legal charges to compensate her tormentors.
As the nearly seven-year-old case of Soad Thabet, now 76, comes to its disgraceful close, it is important to recall the facts.
