We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

I’m not joking but I’ve lived in Central London since 1979 and the only serious street violence I’ve seen was in Zurich. (A homeless person chasing another and viciously swinging a plank at him. Luckily missing.)
Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr recently went on a propaganda podcast and admitted that he’s not scared of germs because he used snort cocaine off of toilet seats.
We went from actual medical professionals leading US Health to this demented repugnant asshole wanting to kill us all.

Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

I just voted to cancel Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada. This is a major victory for the American people and for Congress reclaiming our constitutional authority over tariffs. And, it's a defeat for Trump and Speaker Johnson, who for months blocked the House from taking this vote.

Most people’s lives are “slightly spoilt” by most things. Most people mostly spend their time moaning to anyone who can be bothered to listen.
Are other parents as revolted by this language in The Times as I am?

The epitome of winter. This is a massive positive for a country currently derided by everyone.
Dig the duffle coats on the US Team. The rope toggles harken back to the original military design when the Allies fought fascists. Manufacturers such as Gloverall switched to leather after the war to make the civilian versions feel more "upscale."

Isn't it time Farage admitted his admiration and support for Trump was misplaced?

A lot of these political editors see Starmer/Trump and Mamdani/Trump as unexpected bromances, rather than what the rest of us see, which is someone trying to gamely manage a lunatic.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

STILL no trans people or drag queens implicated in the Epstein Files.
Plenty of TERFs though.
It’s almost as though every “gender-critical” transphobe is trying to protect cis men who abuse women and girls by helping them distract from the real threat.
