Why so many Americans love their guns? BBC News
Booker prize winner Margaret Atwood describes herself as an “observer,” but in her many novels she has often offered us a portal to understanding, be it about totalitarianism, or the idea of other forms of life, future and past.
In her latest book, Old Babes in the Woods, she navigates death and the loss of loved ones, in short stories which are both acerbic and hilarious, as well as adding to her fantastical oeuvre, such as an octopus-like creature narrating its own interpretation of a folk tale.
Seven of the stories feature the characters Tig and Nell, a thinly-veiled portrayal of Atwood and her long-life partner Graeme Gibson who died four years ago. Margaret Atwood began her interview with Kirsty Wark with a reading from the darkly funny story, Widows.

In Paris, protesters are clashing with riot police – you can watch live above.
A tourism office has been set on fire in Lyon, while protesters have broken into and damaged town hall buildings in Lille and Marseille – the interior ministry condemns what it calls “targeted acts of violence”.

The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Jeffrey Donaldson, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of child sex offences, including rape.
Donaldson was convicted in June of 18 offences, which he committed against two women when they were children, between 1985 and 2008.
Reading victim statements, the sentencing judge said one woman grew up feeling ashamed, while the other said: “every day I pray God will let me die”.

President Zelensky admitted he felt ‘betrayed’ by Trump in an interview with Piers Morgan. Where does that leave the US-Ukraine relationship?
Adam is joined by Sarah Smith, Americast host, and Shashank Joshi, Washington bureau chief at The Economist, to discuss what we’ve learned from Zelensky’s interview. Plus, what is going on with intelligence sharing between the US and Ukraine? And why is Starlink so important to the Ukrainian battlefield?
And, Keith Brown, Depute Leader of the SNP, is in Aberdeen to discuss the party conference and the SNP’s focus on securing another independence referendum, plus whether Andy Burnham travelling to Scotland during conference is a distraction.

From shadowboxing Parisians to chihuahuas fronting rap videos, the acceleration in generative AI capability is now impossible to miss on our feeds.
This week, Matt and Marianna explain how new software allows users to ‘reskin’ video content to make anyone say or do literally anything they like.
They discuss the resulting shift from realism to absurdism online, the existential threat to any type of IP ownership, and why independent creators inevitably suffer the most.

A gun is like a condom. It's better to have one and not need it, than to need one and not have one.

I'm Canadian. I have my PAL and RPAL licences. I believe Canadians SHOULD have the legal Right to Prepared Self Defense in their home. This is a Natural Right, and any law of man which infringes on this Natural Right is immoral.

To each is own. Some countries women have are forced to cover their faces. And before someone says…"but the burkas dont get people killed". Well what happens if those women start removing their cover? What if they want to stop practicing that culture. So they government comes with guns forcing them. Whos going to stop them and with what ?
Or if a country gets invaded like Ukraine is now? US citizens going to line up waiting to get handed a firearm like the citizens in Ukraine were doing? You have to take the bad with the good in everything. Wanna hangout at the beach? Risk of skin cancer, jellyfish bites etc. Want fastfood or fancy restaurant? Food poisoning bc someone didn't cook it right. List goes on. Lol eave the US and their guns alone. There was a reason they gave us the 2nd amendment. And wasn't to hunt. If you didn't hunt you didn't eat. Guns dont kill people. People kill people. Its all the poison in foods, skies, products we use. Medicine. Many times the medicine side effects are worse than the disease. Its the non teaching of respect for the firearm and bad up bringing and false flags of those people that want to control the people with an iron fist.
