Best race for a LONG time 🙌🙌🙌

Judging by his recent decisions, I’m sure Trump watched The Gilded Age and thought he was watching a current affairs programme.

@denkmit.bsky.social @neilmorrison87.bsky.social chaps, is the circuit announcer Renita Vermeulen? And if not, why is she using Renita’s voice?

I don’t understand in whose interest it is to broadcast a cabinet meeting in which each person just tells Trump how great he is. They look like a bunch of sycophants and he looks like an insecure egomaniac. Does he really think they believe what they said? And that it impresses anyone? Weird shit

Chapeau Frankie Morbidelli. That session raised some interesting questions, not least of which is where I parked my bloody car 🤔 #MotoGP #Lusail #QatarGP

@maddipaddy.bsky.social hola buddy, at Lusail (nee Losail 🙄) but earlier today was catching up on WWCR and was a bit shocked to see Sehkmet missing from the grid though Mallory and Jamie are there again. Sorry to see the hole there, hadn’t realised. 😔

We have visible humidity here at #MotoGP #Lusail which could make MotoGP practice a tad interesting 🤨

Jon Stewart and The Daily Show find joy amongst the chaos. Thank you, lovely people

Can’t think why Russell’s work isn’t being picked up more by Tory media…

@theresthistory.bsky.social I first suspected the nature of Edward A. Freeman’s style of historical writing when you revealed that his six-volume history of the Norman Conquest didn’t get to the Battle of Hastings until Volume 3. We all appreciate some context and scene-setting but there’s a limit 😳

@therestpolitics.bsky.social @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social It’s been a long time since Britain could claim a global first but we may have just done it again; I think it would be fair to say that Trump has just ‘Trussed’ the American economy. 🇬🇧 😁

@bennettsinsurance.bsky.social thank you @johnmilbank.bsky.social for setting this up. I’m happy to report that I already followed most of the folk in your recommend list but good to see y’all here as it’s a happier place than t’other. BTW, does ‘consumer editor’ mean that you ate all the pies?

@therestpolitics.bsky.social how’s this for an idea to protect/enhance democracy? Make all votes in parliament (and congress) a secret ballot. How would that work with the whip system here?

This podcast is incredible, especially Series 2. The parallels to today are chilling. I knew Joe McCarthy was vehemently anti-communist but I didn’t realise he was a Nazi apologist, defending SS men who murdered US POWs at Malmedy. Chapeau @maddow.msnbc.com podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...
