I’m a Trump biographer and a Musk biographer. And I’m telling you...the latter is harder. Elon does more abominable things daily than Trump. By a lot. He’s a firehose of horror, and I’m finding it extremely hard to keep up with his malevolence. He’s truly the worst person I’ve ever written about.

Hmmm… Barbra Streisand Effect? I probably wouldn’t have seen this cartoon had it just been allowed to be published in the WP as l don’t subscribe. Today it’s popped up in my feed about ten times from different sources.

Bluesky’s algorithm shows me posts by smaller accounts — many of whom I might never see but want to follow — instead of the same five people over and over and I love that very much.

So why is the Uk imprisoning climate change protesters often on trumped up charges?

I don’t know why that’s worrying. That’s well over half.

Happy Christmas to the 600 or so of you who've found your way to this more pleasant place. Hopefully, next year that number - and more importantly, the number of people on this platform - will have grown a LOT. I very much doubt Muskland is going to become any more agreeable any time soon

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

At some point, stuff will begin happening in the UK that people realise they have no mechanism to object to, and by that stage it’ll be too late.

Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme

Whatever was in these bottles, others with the same labels were produced from different grapes elsewhere in Soviet Union, including a 'wine factory' near Moscow. Much used the now obsolete 'Russian Continuous' system www.leclubdesvins.com/topic/other-...

A long morning blending a gastronomic K'AVSHIRI Georgian rosé with Vladimer Kublashvili,using co-fermented Saperavi-Mtsvane, direct-pressed, barrel-fermented Ojaleshi, some Aleksandrouli, and air-dried Aladasturi bled from a qvevri after 24 hours.

Watching TV in Georgia. The coverage is pretty much the same every night. The mood of the protests is youthful and generally non-violent. But the military police with the face coverings that only reveal their eyes never become less forbidding

As spotted in a shop window in Kutaisi, Georgia: a patriotic, pro-EU Santa, silently offering his support to the thousands of anti-government protesters a few streets away.

Rather grand to be sandwiched in between quotes from the owners of Château Lafite and Le Pin in the FT.

For a Briton used to seeing his countrymen using the cross of St George as a nationalist-anti-European symbol, it is surreal to be here in Kutaisi, Georgia's 3rd city, where protesters firmly associate their flag with being fervently pro-EU.

I hope more people, especially politicians wake up to the fact that Liberal democracy is under serious threat all over the world. The forces that drive the fascist right are inequality and a loss of agency and security. If we don't address this in the UK they could take power.
