Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

I once tweeted that Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish had ‘the best head of hair at boardroom level in the Premier League’ and he followed me on there within 5 minutes.

In September 1971, when the new Pope was 19 and at college in his home town of Chicago, Led Zeppelin played the Chicago Amphitheatre.
Don't tell me he didn't go to that gig.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin".
