Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire.
He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

So, 2025 is the year that I get to introduce/inflict my new pseudonymous pen name - S.J. Fleet.
And send this little critter out into the world.
August 2025 will be the debut of The Cut Throat Trial (although you can pre-order now).
And good Lord I’m terrified.

Haaland is all about the numbers. Here are some interesting ones. In the five previous seasons without him City scored more goals than they have in two and half seasons with him. With Haaland they average 2.3 goals per game. Without him that was up at 2.6.?

"But what struck through to me was the confusion caused by people getting information from social media. Partly this is because we barely have any good local newspapers anymore. In the past, if you disagreed on policy, there was a shared idea of what the basic facts were. That doesn’t exist now.”

FWIW, I think that it may well be exposure to other views which has increased polarisation. In the olden days, a Guardian reader wouldn't have had a clue what was in the Mail. And vice versa. Social media has increased exposure to different views. And very often, people react in outrage to them.
