This series of articles in the Guardian on the Free Birth influencers makes terrifying reading. So many dead babies.
If you’re planning (or going through) a pregnancy and you want to maximise the chance of a surviving, healthy baby, don’t mess with these people.

Tom Stoppard was for me, to British (and personal) theatre what Bowie was to British music - that level - RIP

I lived at 34th and Broadway for a number of years and hosted guests for the Macy’s #Parade. I traveled for #Thanksgiving this year and am very sad that I missed the balloons.

BREAKING: A federal judge has thrown out the criminal indictment of James Comey, ruling that Trump-installed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and had no lawful authority to bring the case. The court found her actions violated federal law and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.

You may have heard @mrjamesob.bsky.social recommending an article on his show yesterday.
"Who Goes Nazi?" by renowned American journalist Dorothy Thompson, is a wonderful piece of writing. ⬇️

I second this. Welcome to the club - our two cities are the future
What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.
My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

The Supreme Court just heard oral arguments in the challenge to Trump’s worldwide tariffs. No matter how the Court rules (and I’ll do just a tiny bit of tea leaf-reading here), its decision will have enormous implications for the scope of presidential power. 1/25

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
