Wrote in the TOI about kingly violence, feat. amputated noses, human beings ripped apart, butchered religious leaders, etc. The point being that kingship as an *institution* was linked to violence. Brutality wasn't purely a Mughal monopoly as some believe. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

JUST IN: NL snow crab price is set at $2.20 a pound, price put forward by @ASP_NL A far cry from $7.00+ last year and the lowest since the 1990s. Greg Pretty of @FFAW_Unifor says "bottom of the barrel prices are being selected without absolutely any merit." Will they even fish?
