We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

When I was 20 I went to the US and worked in a cafe for the summer. (I flew randomly to Minneapolis as I liked Prince). It blew my mind to be somewhere English speaking but so different. Now it seems implausible that a beardy brown guy from East London would choose to do this and that makes me sad

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

Record-breaking flooding in south Texas, very powerful winds that caused a deadly dust storm in Kansas and beyond, and unprecedented wildfires in North Carolina. It’s hard to pin individual events on climate change, but heavier rainfall and high temps are what you would expect.

"Cold Habor conveys the scale and the impossibility of loss, the way it transports you to another place you never asked to be but where you must somehow build a life. Mark wants to be with Helly; Mark still wants Gemma back. The paradox is unresolvable." I wrote about the Severance finale.

I wrote about Netflix's "Adolescence," a very well acted, directed, and written series that also crosses into moral panic. It's also haunted by the Jamie Bulger case in ways that strangely a lot of reviewers missed. foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/27/n...
