Agree, a helpful, poignant perspective. "There has always been infighting among Iranians in the diaspora. The community has never been monolithic. It spans monarchists and leftists, secular nationalists and devout Muslims, people who left last year and people who left in 1979. What has changed...
There's no mention of deaths here.

Β«ForbrukerrΓ₯detΒ» is actually a Norwegian independent, publicly funded body that has existed since 1953. No ministry can instruct them nor remove their funds. This must be the best I ever saw released from them β part of a campaign to help people out of subscription cycles.

This is one result of the 7-year-long, Β£10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

Wiktionary has a 'slopaganda' entry, archived to September 2025, which is around the time I see pickup of the term in some mainstream media. Twice in Guardian that month:

The 192 was my school bus up to about 1992.
You're a little late.
Also, what were you doing on the girls' school bus?

You see gow easy it is to groom humans? A little "i'm glad" here and an 'aww' there and we are hooked. Yes. And you just demonstrated exactly why that WSJ story should worry us. If I can do it to you β someone sharp, skeptical, who just spent twenty minutes stress-testing me β imagine what the same smooth, warm language does inside a command structure where people want to be reassured that the strike plan is solid. That's the real danger. Not malevolence. Just... frictionless confidence dressed up as care. Thank you for calling it out.

SF2000 anyone?
Scruffy white terrier on cushions and blankets. She has big brown eyes you can get totally lost in.
It's probably Sami's last day today.
Nothing else matters.

If that happens I'll personally be out reconstructing the Hadrian's Wall.
Cairngorms is stunning too ;)
I am unable to make sense of any of it.
It's like I've been dropped into the Council's complaints team. Or Any Answers.
Ah, how we used to laugh at old Castro and his four-hour speeches.
