S2 EP9: Adam Buxton on podcast rivalry, problematic musical heroes, and abandoning social media. In the final episode of the series, Louis is in the Spotify studio with lifelong friend, comedian and fellow podcaster, Adam Buxton. In a typically rambling conversation, they chat about problematic…

Listening to this episode of Louis Theroux's podcast with Adam Buxton from a few years ago. Great to hear two old friends riffing off each other. Worth listening to alone for Adam's off the cuff impression of Ira Glass. He has the voice, cadence and rhythm absolutely bang on. pca.st/episode/b99b...

Soz. Also not soz.

How to stop the next Trump The president’s apocalyptic threats should spur major constitutional change

Good piece this www.thenewworld.co.uk/matthew-danc...

Yes. What also pisses me off is that whenever he does attack anyone and they respond in any way at all it's portrayed as "a spat" as if public figures regularly engage in this sort of thing with each other when almost all the time it's just him doing it. They need to reflect that and they never do.

Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds The BBC exposes a shadow industry charging migrants thousands of pounds to help them cheat the asylum system.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

I'm so sick of having to think about Trump and what he says or what he might say next. It'll just be a relief when he's gone for him to not be taking up any space in my head.

I bet if Trump had ever lost by this sort of margin he'd still have claimed he had won. Orban's clearly just a lightweight.

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election

There's a few editors of conservative magazines out there with a bit of a headache about filling the next issue

So Victor finally told to fuck off

It’s a great night for the Leftist chatterati

And the key is the 2/3 majority he's on course for. That unlocks all the possibilities for removing Orbanism from the body politic.

LIVE Viktor Orbán concedes with Hungarian opposition on course for landslide election win Hungary's prime minister has been ousted after 16 years in power, with Péter Magyar set to be the country's new leader.

Looks like Vance worked his magic then

Trump and Hegseth are making statements that legal experts say constitute war crimes.

On live television.

Matt Goodwin’s road to derision How a terrifying night in Detroit shaped the controversial right wing author’s thinking

Excellent piece here from @jamesrball.com where he systematically takes apart the latest literary attempt by MattGPT. The comment from Goodwin at the end in the "right to reply" section couldn't be more perfect in summarising what a thin-skinned individual he is app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/153589...

Rumours that three canine skeletons were found nearby are unconfirmed

Yes. I'm enjoying it. Nice style with the short vignettes.

Yes. Heavily influenced by Marxism and Marxist groups in his early years.
