It’s remarkable to look back to see what Vanity Fair said about Trump 35 years ago. It’s all there - telling bigger lies and being believed, belittling all around, refusing to pay bills, hiring and underpaying immigrants, believing he can deal with Russia.

DC Thomson used to be criticised for the owners’ paternalistic attitude to staff - but at least then they offered good bonuses and benefits. Not at all like the sharks in command today

Let’s hope HCR is right that there are winds of change on the Right and that Trumpers have overplayed their hand heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-17-2...

The US lied, claiming no tariffs on Russia due to lack of trade, says Le Monde. America still trades with Putin: the 2024 trade balance hit $3.5B, more than with Mauritius or Brunei. If Belarus and Russia were on the list, tariffs would be 42% and 24%. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Hello. Very specific post, here. I'm looking to contact people who know Lucca well in connection with a project. i don't mean people who have holidayed there & love it. I mean people with deep family connections who still visit & have relatives. Would be so grateful if you could get in touch.

A new Brice de Nice... Interesting if it happens but French international fullback Brice Dulin cannot transform Stade Niçois by himself. He needs a solid scrum, 9, 10 and centres in front of him - especially those who can tackle www.nicematin.com/rugby/le-sta...
