Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

I'm extremely proud of the fact that the hardcover of Dreyer's English remains in print nearly seven years after it went on sale, and if you'd like signed copies (they make great holiday gifts!) and to support a local bookstore, head to the Signed Copies tab here:

they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism

Happy Thanksgiving.

I've seen many negative comments about the 3p per mile road tax for electric cars UK gov have announced in the budget. I don't know the details yet, I know the complaints will die down but the impact on regular people switching to EVs will definitely take a hefty knock.

devastated to hear my dear sweet friend Linda Pine died in a hit-and-run crash, i love you Linda
Anyone involved with the early days of Comedy Meltdown, this was the delightful Linda Pine who was killed. She was always such a bright light as an actor and a producer.
Hey, if you know ANYTHING about this, please help identify the driver in this hit-and-run. They just killed a very old and dear friend of mine and I am shattered by this news.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

So Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump really just want Mark Kelly to run for POTUS and humiliate JD Vance, right?
Bc that's the only explanation that actually makes sense.
