i mean, the movie tariff thing was illustrative - trump has a sudden thought, about the same time as he had a thought watching alcatraz or the rock or whatever and then truth socials it and then the admin says “we’re working to make it so” out of pretty much nothing.

a thing i *love* is bumping into people you know in london, on regent street, in this case someone from the states. it shouldn’t happen! but makes me feel like im in a richard hannay or other late 19th/early 20th C adventure novel. just a shame its too early for the pubs.

i bore on about this but it also helps set expectations about the competitive playing field, reduces risk, helps co-ordinate supply chains etc. i think businesses can typically see the admin and constraints and not the down-sides of the absence of them.

Just a lonely guy hanging out in his minimalist apartment all day, wondering where it all went wrong. (This is the confluence of several factors: 1. me being bored at work, 2. my daughter leaving one of her Transformers lying around, 3. my wife unearthing her old dolls' house furniture to sell)

i go on about this a bit and i know it doesn’t look much, but pasta cooked with leftover juices from a roast (tocco d’arrosto) is one of the finest things you can cook for yourself.

Some days you just need to listen to long, epic Underworld songs, and today is one of those days.

amanda pritchard lunch with the ft contains the absolutely mesmerising line regarding the sea bass she’s eating: “Very nice sauce, but ultimately a piece of fish”.
