Unashamedly reupping this because it's an August only promo and time limited and well... people seem to really love this book. Apologies to anyone affected

The good news is that people really love the audiobook version of Notorious. The even better news is that as of today, it's an absolute flipping bargain! www.audible.co.uk/pd/Notorious...

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

It really pisses me off that Google knows my location, passwords and number but keeps constantly asking if I am a robot

My book, and my Edinburgh show, is full of serendipity. Here’s something that happened today. I have 5000 of these flyers to give out. The first one went to a man called Tom from Washington DC and you’ll never guess who he went to school with - Abraham Zapruder’s granddaughter

How incompetent an engineer do you have to be that your rocket collides with the nearest object to Earth in the endless space of the universe?

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

It's so funny that a SpaceX rocket crashed into the moon. It's so easy to not crash things into the moon. Almost nothing ever does that. This is Rube Goldberg-level goofball precision.
