The cruelty in all this is unbelievable

The best thing about all this is that neither has any measure of self-control, meaning this will just run and run and run.

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

Trump's press events with world leaders that he doesn't like are quickly becoming the weirdest moments in U.S. history.

Trump loses it at Peter Alexander: "What are you talking about? You oughta get out of here ... you're a terrible reporter. You don't have what it takes to be a reporter. You're not smart enough ... Brian Roberts and the people that run that place they ought to be investigated."

WTF? Trump is at it again ambushing Ramaphosa in the White House. He's doing much better than Zelensky

Several friends have told me in recent years that *insert country* is immune to the far-right, and yet just a few years later they are surging in the polls in each of those places. We still don't talk enough about the supercharged hatreds that algorithms have pumped into our society.

Social media this morning is a zombie apocalypse of dinosaur Tory politicians and right wing hangers-on hankering after the nasty Brexit wars of the last decade. Our country has moved on!

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.

In my new book, we discovered that not just one funding gap kills promising climate tech. It's three distinct chasms. The most treacherous? When startups with successful pilots try to jump to commercial production. Even $100M isn't enough. Full analysis here: green.simpliflying.com/p/how-sustai...

This is excellent - "There is no modern ailment which cannot be lain at their door. They are the perfect foil for right and left: a simple compelling villain whose malevolence explains a complex world."

Gov't criticised from all sides. From the right, "not enough". From all others for its awful rhetoric.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Dumb on so many levels. Demographically: there simply aren't enough Britons to staff the care sector, especially with a growing elderly population. There never will be. Economically: the UK only has ANY kind of GDP growth because of immigration, so ... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

American bro from South Carolina in the hotel bar in Amsterdam, telling the bar staff about Trump, and sounding like Fox News brought to life: "They are only deporting illegal criminals", " Musk found loads of fraud" etc. Seriously, when you come to Europe, don't be like this.

Ten years ago there was a study showing that at most 14% of people are regular news consumers. A great many people have zero clue about any of this, or even know what tariffs are. They are in for a surprise

Trump is going to insist that the only way for any non-American film to escape tariffs is for him to have a cameo.

Despite the widespread and often employer-encouraged adoption of AI tools, a new study finds that artificial intelligence chatbots "have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation."
