Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

ATTN: US military brass
The interesting opposite of this is General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. Post-WW1 titan of the German army. Who Hitler DESPERATELY courted.
von Hammerstein is one of only 3 figures believed to have told Hitler to fuck off to his face. He even thwarted Nazi attempts to politicize his own death. /1 🧵

Every time the Americans start back on the 'gifted student' discourse, I count myself lucky that my schooling in Derry exclusively involved teachers who'd have sooner guzzled a yard of their own shite than tell a smartarse they were special.

How Did Republican Fashion Go From Blazers to Belligerence?
Trump and his cronies’ style reflects a platform where grievance is currency and performance is power.

It is very disturbing that many are justifying the EU's trade war surrender to Trump by saying: 'we have to do it otherwise the US won't defend Ukraine'
Will EU citizens accept being US vassals in order to stop Ukraine becoming a Russian vassal?

You may scoff, but before PacMan added AI-ghosts, thousand were employed to control them. My first job in high-school was as a weekend "ghost rider." I fondly remember my 12-hour shifts at the arcade, crammed into the game cabinet. Many older ghost riders never recovered after those 1st AI-layoffs.

For all the focus on personalities and politics, Starmer's real problem is that after a year in office, UK government bonds still trade at a substantial premium to other G7 countries and UK stocks at a huge discount. My latest on what Labour needs to do to win back investor confidence in Britain
Daddy Issues
Thoughts on Labour's unhappy anniversary, Nato's unresolved Daddy issues, can Brussels rescue the global trading system, why Europe's anti-green backlash is bad for business and Britain alone

The Democrats have many faults, but they didn't nominate a corrupt autocrat for the presidency, or sit idly by while he trashed the Constitution & tried to subvert an election.
Conservatives used to believe in responsibility. It's time to stop blaming the left for the moral failings of the right.
