I knew virtually nothing about Scotland or the Scots before them invading Boston for the World Cup … I am obsessed with them. They’re insane? And so fun. And SO nice and talkative and thankful for the hospitality. And super duper drunk always.

Gooners!

Extremely niche help request: We have, due to a recent bereavement, a fair number of high protein Fortisip nutrition drinks, all in-date. I am told Ukraine medical charities are able to make use of it. Does anyone know of anywhere in the Scottish Borders that could help get it to them? Ta.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

I was struck, seeing this on the tube, by the contemporary resonance of Auden"s Epitaph on a Tyrant in this phase of the global projection of Trump’s sociopathic narcissism

Y’all need to hear this. ALL OF IT 📣 “White leftists are exactly the same as their white counterparts on the right side of the spectrum in that they are single-issue voters.”

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

And, with that, somebody just refused to buy the tulip bulbs.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

RIC TACO - Rapist in Chief Trump Always Chickens Out.

I’ve come to the very grudging conclusion that the current era ends either in violence or stepwise acquiescence to dictatorship. I don’t like either option, because it is frankly unlikely the former option ends much better than the latter. But denial of the choice is just opting for door 2.

If you outsource party management and politics to testosterone-fuelled fools more concerned with looking hard to the Tory press than in developing serious policy Labour MPs can back, you end up where Keir Starmer finds himself today. This is a massive failure of leadership.
