As frozen silhouettes go, this was a special one…The utterly surreal landscape of Jokulsarlon beach where calving mini-bergs break off the glacier to then scatter upon rocky strand like jostling contestants in a freestyle ice sculpture competition #landscape #iceland #photography

Make this brilliant guy PM or economic advisor to uk. He gets it — why both Labour and Trump will fail, why they won’t improve living standards. For yrs I’ve thought inequality was the key issue of our age after reading eg The Spirit Level but GS articulates it perfectly.

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵

🎓 The tail wagging the dog. Soon universities will be nothing more than giant HR departments. I’ve been asked why I ended my novel “King Street Run” (which satirises the decline of academia) in a positive fashion; it’s because only in a world of fiction is this going to end well. #Booksky
