Crony capitalism writ large. Putin had the Trump administration sussed out from the start. Great reporting by the WSJ.

Thanks Thomas! I don’t think it will be broadcast. Might be recorded. There are a few of my lectures on YouTube. This one has the highest production values!

I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

As I said at the time this was the landmine in the immigration white paper. It will cost unis much more than they're getting from inflationary rises in domestic fees.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.

Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

This excuse would be pretty grim even if Labour were now very popular thanks to their flag-saluting foreigner crackdowns, which they really are not.

Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

In the towns near Ukraine's frontline, Russian FPV drones hunt civilians, a new tactic called a "human safari".

Yana, who lives in Kherson, regularly sees these drones and the damage they cause.
Russia’s disturbing human ‘safaris’
Violating the laws of war, Russians have created a sick game of hunting civilians with FPV drones near the frontline. We take you behind the scenes, to the people most affected.

If people read mark urban substack it makes semse to me why he left but this lad its all about woke and other stuff. Delusion
😂😂😂😂
The fact the BBC Director General, who is a former conservative candidate, is resigning for being "too woke" over some cooked up Trumpist nonsense is quite a stark reminder of the drivers behind the current media environment.
