my opinion is that when the other lot have spent years not only going low but relentlessly finding new and exciting ways in which to go lower, then maybe you too can go low just this one time to prevent a man who's had a complicated life from being used as a torture puppet for four years

- Too old to be bullied & intimidated.
- Too young to be patronised & ignored.
Terrifying to men of a certain type.

My latest Guardian piece.
Until I moved to Wales, I never knew how badly it was treated.
Working at a journo it became clear that not only is Wales treated like less of a country than Scotland, but that it has come to just accept this poor treatment.

The most infuriating thing isn’t that Wales is treated as a non-country – it’s that we accept it | Will Hayward
From the the Barnett formula to the humiliation of having an English ‘Prince of Wales’, you’d never catch Scotland allowing this treatment, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

A jewel-coloured Roman glass cup for a bright start to the week!
Made of ‘ribbon’ mosaic glass, this lovely vessel is a wonderful example of the creativity and skill of ancient glassmakers some 2,000 years ago.

I Can't Believe It's Not Brexit! ✨
Why are MAGA people still so angry at everyone online? They won. They’re getting the President they want back. The wokes have been defeated. Why are they still out there screaming at strangers to debate them? It’s gotta be tiring to be completely incapable of ever feeling good.

In 1942, at the height of the Second World War, Alfred Eisenstaedt photographed sweethearts bidding each other farewell before the men depart for war, not knowing if they'd ever return. These candid shots give us a glimpse of what average Americans wore.
Let's look at the details. 🧵

I want to quote pretty much every sentence of this, but honestly it’s just so great in its entirety. Please just read it all. @davidjroth.bsky.social is one of the most astute analysts of this political moment, and one of the most searing prose stylists, too.
