Really, how can you write this (it’s the NYT) and not then delete the first four words.
‘Like other recent presidents, Mr. Trump has pushed too far in pursuit of an ideological agenda.’

So sad to hear Rachel Cooke has died. A writer of depth and range who, like all the best, appreciated editors and subs. Excellent tribute here from @timadamswrites.bsky.social

‘In 204 years, the Grauniad has published only 15 zero-star reviews…’
That’s Sky Sports Prem league rewriting of history there. Maybe 22 years didn’t sound as good.
Obs critcs were very against star ratings, and I think Philip French resisted them till he retired. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Seems to be a lot of buzz today about the 50th anniversary of the recording of one of the great 70s songs at Rockfield Studios. Odd because they’re a couple of years late to the party.

This is a quite brilliant piece by Jonathan Liew, and clearly explains why the government and all politicians from the centre and right are so on the wrong side of the argument.
I really think this should be a resignation matter for Lisa Nandy, encouraging actual fascism to go to Birmingham.

Can’t understand why you’re all so down on search and AI. Google gave me 2 choices for a December flight from Bristol - Madeira
1. Bris-Madeira non-stop
2. Bris-Aberdeen. Overnight stop:
Abdn-Heathrow 5.55 am:
Transfer to Gatwick:
GTW-Madeira
Anyway, just checking the transfer times now

Today I’ve been reading @dorianlynskey.bsky.social on Greenwich Village Dylan in the new Mojo under the watchful eye of the cat making the most of the September sun. Great research and quotes, thoroughly good read. Best buy the mag.
