The other place really is toxic and ludicrous commenting on Vance and Trump. But it’s still so much better for conversations. I still find that here people mostly post earnestly but don’t really talk.

I really feel we are through the looking glass in the other place. But it’s still better for a bit of conversation than here. But too many weird takes, Elon fans and decent people giving credence to things that o think are dreadful.

🚨 South Korean President Yoon says he'll end martial law as soon as the cabinet assemble. A full retreat just hours after he attempted to seize autocratic power. Democracies around the should note that things may have been different if it were not for the resolve of lawmakers willing to defy him.

Hugo Rifkind’s point in the Times that “no British PM has won re-election since David Cameron in 2015” might carry some weight if any British PM had stood for re-election since David Cameron in 2015.

Word of the day is ‘sequaciousness’ (16th century): the slavish and reckless following of another person in matters of thought or opinion.

The new American regime promises to be: -Broligarchy -Plutocracy or -Kakistocracy ?

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Do gar Bluesky is pleasant and respectful, has lots of journos and serious commentators but it is rather earnest and doesn’t have much real engagement. There’s too little people talking mince.

Nigel Farage out and about in Whitehall dressed as someone who isn't a farmer thinks a farmer dresses

You have to admire Nigel Farage - who else would have the nerve to pretend to be the defender of farmers, after selling their whole industry down the river with his Brexit shitshow.

What I'd like to hear from farmers and those supporting them is an alternative proposal. It seems few are willing to defend billionaires buying up farmland to avoid tax but want to protect smaller farms. What's the best way to do that? Seems more useful than a protest.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
