Has been a good year. Loved the sheer Frenchness of Expedition 33 but I think Blue Prince has been my favourite so far. Really looking forward to getting stuck into The Alters too.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

It's amazing and quite sad just how wrong people continue to be about HS2 in the year of our lord 2025. You can criticize the execution of the project. It's been an absolute shitshow, but if they'd managed to actually build the damned thing the benefits (including environmental) were huge.

Firstly there absolutely would be an advantage to people living in Carlisle as it would significantly reduce journey times to London. Secondly saying "this project doesn't directly benefit me, living in this part of the world" is such parochial bullshit. Shit like this makes me furious.

There have been a few of these sorts of posts recently. A junior minister is asked about a major, rapidly evolving foreign policy issue and then faces criticism for avoiding a direct answer or saying they aren't going to comment. I mean, he's the housing minister. How fucking stupid are you?

If the shooter was arrested then okay say screw it and go but there is an active shooter dressed as a police officer and to me this warning is an admission that they do not have it under control.

You can't understand the behaviour of US elites - Democrats being too timid, Republicans debasing themselves, bureaucrats who behave like pushovers - without reference to the constant threat of political violence that has come with MAGA. Every day is January 6. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...
