And yet…

Every time I've tried to remind Mr Farage's supporters of the broken promises of Brexit— on a beach in Brighton, on a train in Essex, in a pub in Bromley, where Reform won its first London council seat—I'm met with a shrug and told that things will be different under a Reform government. Yesterday's disappointment seems forgotten (or blamed on others). It's today's indignation that moves hearts and votes.

A James Watson obituary so good that even Larry Summers is burned on the side.

www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/j...
"I really don't know what happened to Jim," said biologist Nancy Hopkins of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who in the 1990s led the campaign to get MIT to recognize its discrimination against women faculty. "At a time when almost no men supported women, he insisted I get a Ph.D. and made it possible for me to do so," she told STAT in 2018. But after 40 years of friendship, Watson turned on her after she blasted the claim by then-Harvard University president Lawrence Summers in 2005 that innate, biological factors kept women from reaching the pinnacle of science.

One of the campiest sequences in movie history is not celebrated hard enough (and probably Cronenberg’s inspiration for his Map to the Stars). “C’mon, Oscar. Let you and me get drunk!”: Bette Davis in Stuart Heisler’s The Star (1952).

People rush to help a guest who collapsed during a press conference on weight-loss drugs at the White House. (The man was apparently on a weight-loss drug.) Meanwhile, Donald stands up and stares stump-shouldered into the ether.
