I just watched a great conversation with Anne Applebaum on Swiss TV and then started her book on Autocracies. If things continue like they have started she might have to write a second part focusing on the US.

I finished Academy Street last night. It's a lovely novel, beautifully evocative, spanning six decades. Costello packs so much into a fairly short novel. #ReadingIrelandmonth25 💙📚

The clown in chief will buy a Tesla today to support Melon because the boycotts are working. Didn’t Melon realize that MAGA supporters and the right in general don’t buy that car? Of course it will be boycotted. #CancelTesla.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
