We’ve watched every episode and have enjoyed them waaaay more than we expected. It often falls flat of course - but when it hits it can freshly subversive and beautifully surreal. Whoever booked Kasabian should be fired though.

It’s only a Henry VIII power if it allows you to change primary legislation. If it just delegates the making of regulations it’s a sparkling Edward VIII.

The triumph of democracy is not that you can elect an angel, it is that you can kick out an SOB. Because, if you can kick out an SOB, the next one knows you can kick him out too.

A shark could swim faster than me, but I could probably run faster than a shark. So in a triathlon, it would all come down to who is the better cyclist.

King's College overlooking poor grammar to be more 'inclusive' King's College London, part of the elite Russell Group, is overhauling assessment to 'validate diverse knowledge systems and lived experiences'.

So what? Grammar is fairly easy to learn. It's just information.

I miss the spirit of the first Moon landing, when the President was a corrupt criminal committing war crimes in a war of choice versus a third world country.

I won’t shift from the view that most American journalists actually cherish Trump. He’s brought them so much material that they’ve forgotten who they’re supposed to be.

The effortless combination of pompous self-importance and dull lack of historical awareness of this ‘statement’ seems to be very much of the moment for the American press.

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

For the second time in a week I've heard an origin story of the London Underground smoking ban that simply isn't true. As anyone who lived through the period will tell you it was the King's Cross fire that saw the ban introduced.

Can I say both that writing 'speaking as a man with a daughter' is really fucking stupid, and that this isn't an apology, Roberto, and you can absolutely do one. Speaking as a man with a daughter.

At points, and this is true, I've taken to using Bluesky or, previously, Twitter, to apologize for our shameful misrule and then naming a nearby pub or shabeen where I will be buying rounds to extend the apology. When I've done so, good people end up buying just as many pints to comfort me.
