The reported saga of Natalie Harp and her security clearance raises a more basic question, what happens when personal loyalty becomes more important than institutional discipline? … More The clearance test by John Kato ## [The politics of a public killing by Jemma Norman](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/23/the-politics-of-a-public-killing-by-jemma-norman/) _2026-08-23 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ Jason Arday’s death should force Britain to confront an uncomfortable question, when did journalism stop covering a culture war and start feeding it? Arday, the youngest Black professor appointed at Cambridge, became a symbol long before he became a target. His extraordinary rise embodied the promise of a more open British academy. Then came allegations … More The politics of a public killing by… ## [The architecture of calm by Polly Hobbs](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/23/the-architecture-of-calm-by-polly-hobbs/) _2026-08-23 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ We have spent decades designing crisis spaces as if panic were a feature rather than a problem. Police precincts, emergency rooms and homeless shelters often resemble the physical expression of an anxious bureaucrat: fluorescent lights, hard surfaces, exposed machinery, plastic chairs, echoing corridors and signs that seem written for people who already know where they … More The architecture of… ## [Ephemera #159 #Cartoon by Thanos Kalamidas](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/23/ephemera-159-cartoon-by-thanos-kalamidas/) _2026-08-23 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ Ephemera: a word with ancient Greek roots meaning:‘something that is produced or created thatis never meant to last or be remembered’.

It dies in smaller rooms, beneath fluorescent lights, when a grant disappears, a laboratory closes, a young researcher decides to leave, or an inconvenient question becomes too politically expensive to ask. That is what makes the Trump administration’s assault on American science so unsettling. It is not merely … More The war on knowing by Marja Heikkinen ## [Zombies #Poem #Painting by Nikos Laios](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/22/zombies-poem-painting-by-nikos-laios/) _2026-08-22 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ The zombies swayed,They sucked on blood,They sucked on hatredThey sucked on misogyny,They sucked on patriarchy,They recited texts andThe zombies swayedLeft and rightSucking on theDelusion of religion,Texts that preachedDeath and hatred,Submission and theDeath of freedom,The zombies swayedCrying out ‘brains’,They fed on brains;They were the livingDead and only theConsumption andDeath of theHuman… ## [The $40 trillion bet by Zakir Hall](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/22/the-40-trillion-bet-by-zakir-hall/) _2026-08-22 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ United States has finally reached the number that once belonged to science fiction, $40 trillion in gross national debt. The milestone arrived with remarkably little drama. There were no sirens, no shutters coming down on Wall Street, no solemn procession from the Treasury. Just another enormous number appearing on a government balance sheet while politicians … More The $40 trillion bet by Zakir… ## [Worming #135 #cartoon by Thanos Kalamidas](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/22/worming-135-cartoon-by-thanos-kalamidas/) _2026-08-22 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ A family of worms and all their worm friends worming in new adventures.

Donald Trump governs foreign policy like a man entering a casino through the kitchen door. The announcement comes first, the plan later, and the explanation is usually delivered in capital letters. J.D. Vance … More The quiet Rubio doctrine by John Reid ## [Home Internet From Space (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/4v6skK9WFuDr) _2026-08-21 · **Sponsored**_ Residential satellite internet that brings connectivity to homes beyond conventional networks ## [Remember the victims, not the scene by Maddalena Conti](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/21/remember-the-victims-not-the-scene-by-maddalena-conti/) _2026-08-21 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ There is something deeply uncomfortable about commemorating the victims of terrorism. The ceremonies are solemn, the speeches are carefully written, the candles are lit, the flags lowered and then, almost inevitably, the world moves on. The International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, observed on 21 August, is supposed to interrupt … More Remember the victims, not the… ## [The country the world forgot by Avani Devi](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/21/the-country-the-world-forgot-by-avani-devi/) _2026-08-21 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ Afghanistan has acquired the terrible quality of a place that can disappear from international attention without actually disappearing from suffering. Five years after the Taliban marched back into Kabul, the country is poorer, more repressive and now increasingly entangled in a dangerous confrontation with Pakistan. There is no shortage of catastrophe. What is missing is … More The country the… ## [Ghostin’ #134 #Cartoon by Thanos Kalamidas](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/21/ghostin-134-cartoon-by-thanos-kalamidas/) _2026-08-21 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ They are like neighbours we are aware of,except we are NOT aware of andthey have absolutely nothing to do with Halloween.

First comes shock. Then condolences and then invariably the sentence, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.” Thailand has apparently decided to experiment with another sentence: “Let’s change the law.” After a 14-year-old boy killed his grandparents before going to school and shooting … More The politics of “thoughts… ## [The politics of the dry tap by Solomon Mensah](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/20/the-politics-of-the-dry-tap-by-solomon-mensah/) _2026-08-20 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ Johannesburg has discovered an unusually effective way of turning water into a political weapon, stop delivering it. For a city accustomed to the grand language of African urban ambition, the indignity is almost comically basic. The skyscrapers remain. The shopping centres glitter. The highways crawl with expensive cars. Yet behind the gates and apartment doors, … More The politics of the dry tap… ## [The Muslim NATO question by Mira Radulova](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/20/the-muslim-nato-question-by-mira-radulova/) _2026-08-20 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ Three countries have signed what may eventually prove to be more consequential than the diplomatic language surrounding it suggests. Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have agreed that an armed attack on one of them will be regarded as an attack on all three, a formula deliberately reminiscent of NATO’s Article 5. The Mecca Joint Defence … More The Muslim NATO question by Mira Radulova ## [Screws & Chips #131 #Cartoon by Thanos Kalamidas](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/20/screws-chips-131-cartoon-by-thanos-kalamidas/) _2026-08-20 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ In a galaxy far, far away, intelligence demonstrated by screws and chips, boldly gone where no robot has gone before!

Photos, emails, bank records, films, medical files and the accumulated debris of modern life are said to be “in the cloud”. The phrase is wonderfully convenient and almost completely misleading. There is no cloud. … More The cloud has a floor by Jiro Lambert ## [Humanitarianism in the age of the billionaire by Shanna Shepard](https://realovi.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/humanitarianism-in-the-age-of-the-billionaire-by-shanna-shepard/) _2026-08-19 · ovithanos · The Ovi_ World Humanitarian Day arrives each year with the uncomfortable timing of an alarm clock nobody wants to hear. On 19 August, the world pauses to honour those who carry food into war zones, rescue children from rubble, treat the wounded and remain beside communities after the television cameras have moved on. It is a noble … More Humanitarianism in the age of the billionaire by Shanna Shepard ## [#eBook Dissociative identity disorder by Julia A.
