In a well-run military, people would be broken for this. Their oath is to the US Constitution, which specifically protects “the freedom of of the press”; and they just left a draft-dodger goad them into attacking that press. They betrayed their oath, and officers should be broken for this.

These are the visionaries and leaders and you’re part of the elite. Same problem.

Older, female gamer here. At a basic level, they're fun. And they've been a huge bonding event with my son, like watching a tv series together. But also, when my life turned to shit, playing Baldur's Gate: Shadows of Amn, or Morrowind stopped me going completely bananas. Free therapy.

The next GTA is probably going to gross $1bn+ in a weekend, the series is huge in terms of both sales and cultural heft, and it's (broadly speaking) British - it's mad we don't see it as one of our major cultural exports.

Felt it was important to chronicle the campaign against trans people that the Trump administration has been waging. You can advocate for women's sports and spaces, and high standards of evidence in youth medical care, without being gratuitously cruel. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

GTA is probably the single biggest homegrown global cultural success the UK has produced since The Beatles.

Again. You are poorer because of worldviews shaped by games. This stuff is “well, I don’t own a TV” but for 2025. Mass culture matters to you.

for people who are never going to play a game but are interested to understand a bit about what games culture is like, I can highly recommend the film Grand Theft Hamlet, about two out-of-work actors during the lockdowns trying to stage a production of Hamlet inside the game Grand Theft Auto

If you ever talk to film studio executives about their business, all they ever talk about is gaming

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and flies to Moscow — in the middle of russia’s genocidal war — to speak at a fascist-fest… It’s probably a fascist-genocide-justifying-kremlin-sewage-guzzling duck.

Sorry to see Freddie Forsyth go. I talked to him a year or two back about 50 years of The Day of the Jackal, and he was a delight www.spectator.co.uk/podcast/fred...

Bank holiday in France today. I've written a poem to help you remember when they are. Thirty days has September, April, June, and November, All the rest have thirty-one, Save February at twenty-eight, Unless you're in France Where May and June have seven days, And August has none. You're welcome.

I first went to London for poll tax or student loan protests. It was really grim in many places. Oxford Street was full of crappy shops, dirty, dilapidated and some metro stops that were awful.
