When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

🚨 Last night JK Rowling attacked The National as an "anti-woman newspaper". I think that is absolutely ridiculous chat.

Just finished Ghost of Tsushima. What a fantastic game! I have so many thoughts on it but quickly.
So beautiful. A great balance of war and peace. Terrific combat. Really engaging. Can't believe I took so long to come to it. Highly recommend.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.
