I have been spending some time reading about historical cases in which dictatorships ended when the population willed them to go away over their morning coffee and then went to work as usual. You will be surprised what I learned.

Stern: What’s 17x6? Trump Jr : various answers 96, 94, 108 Ivanka: That’s not a practical question 🤔 Trump: “Eleven twelve, 112.” Somebody says it’s 102 [correct answer] Trump: “112”

Answer: As good as, or better.

The George Lazenby of Prime Ministers.

A great and timely article about Daniel Ellsberg. Such a great man.

I really think the extermination camps are now very close in time.

Barbara Tversky remembers the life and work of Daniel Kahneman. In CentrePiece magazine. Read: http://cep.lse.ac.uk...

Anyone can make mistakes.

Sarah Cooper is always great.

We thought Don't Look Up was a metaphor about global warming. Nope, literal.

A parable for the times. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

E scooters blamed and not, for instance, a law designed for cars being applied too broadly.

Good but depressing and understated article. I really think these American writers cannot find the words to express how awful things are. They all write as if they are not living under an evil regime and that before you know it there will be books being written about "Trump's Willing Executioners."

Going to be some really long jail terms handed out for this.

Winston Smith has been busy today.

When I first saw this I thought it was about the USA. So perhaps we are not quite so brutal, but I really did not enjoy reading this. Let's get those people working in nail bars, car washes and restaurants.

Reading the news from across the pond I think you all seem to be already at this stage. Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

Beyond Meat has added more products to its line-up 🌱

“I told you if you hold on to clothes long enough they come back in fashion” From the new Private Eye, out now.

"Despite its name, a long black is shorter than an americano, but some baristas also swear by adding the espresso second, on top of the hot water." Honestly that is exactly how an americano should be made too. Costa does it properly, btw.
