There's a special breed of Small Town Wanker that pop into London twice a year then whine about it for 363 days. They inevitably visit a tourist trap on a hot Saturday and, from that, believe they are now experts in the lived experience of 12 million people. Matt Goodwin is their patron saint.

This is precisely what happened. The same effort, over and over again, with Democrats and Republicans. But America was finally weak enough to simply ignore and its president idiotic enough to go along with it.

Delighted to be in Bucharest signing copies of my book, Children of the Night (Copiii Noptii), at one of the most beautiful bookshops in Europe. There’s never been a more important time to understand Romania’s epic and complicated history. Also, there’s a good chapter on Dracula! 🧛‍♂️🇷🇴🇬🇧

The denialist response to AI really no longer matters. Everyone worth engaging has moved on, and is now figuring out how to use it, regulate it, or respond to it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/m...

For the avoidance of doubt, he's talking about the summer footy friendlies whose only useful function is giving people who don't like cricket something to read on the back pages while they wait for the real season to start. Americans 🤦‍♂️.

#OTD 16 June 1890. Birth of Nae Ionescu, the charismatic guru of Romania's fascist generation. Fascist theorist, radical antisemite, plagiarist. This thread is not about Ionescu but about Ionescu's memory in the Romanian diaspora during the Cold War. What you see here⬇️... 1/

Bluesky is absolutely unmatched for people who seem to agree with you but do it in such a bizarrely aggressive way you've gotta block anyway

The wildest (and tremendously BlueSky) thing about this post is all the well-akshually "if you include outside their home, and unelected officials, in fact we kill them all the time." What's your point exactly? That assassination is as yankee as apple pie, and so nobody should be outraged?

Dunno man, I'm pretty sure that when the Tea Party managed to gather like 500 people outside a Chuck E. Cheese or whatever, the media interviewed every single person there fifteen times, declared it an unstoppable popular tsunami, and amplified its every inane grievance as purest Vox Dei.

The thing that gnaws at me is if you could go back to Election Day and tell voters everything that would happen in the next 6 months, I’m still pretty sure he wins.

I once sold Alvin Stardust a camera, when I was a kid working in Dixons. He seemed very nice.

It is literally going to take smoke rising from the stacks of giant ovens in concentration camps for some people to realize things have gone awry, but even then many won't care, or think "well, they probably deserved it."
