Acknowledged - nice piece👆👆👆

Orban's defeat highlights a failure in Post-Liberalism This is my latest in CapX.

My latest where I assess how Orban's defeat is a failure of ideology as much as political practice.

Nice piece by Sam Mace on CAPX.co on the fall of Orban and the decline of post-liberalism in which my Against Post-Liberalism: Why Faith, Family and Flag is a dead end for the Left @politybooks.bsky.social gets a nice discussion. @lsegovernment.bsky.social

As he’s self published I suspect that is the only reason - I doubt Waterstones carry any self published books…👆👆👆

The Little Probe That Could: Why Voyager 1 Matters, and Why NASA Just Switched Part of It Off This week, NASA announced it had shut down one of that spacecraft's remaining science instruments — not because the mission has failed, but to keep it alive a little longer.

Anne’s two pieces (either side) inspired by / in celebration of Atar’s Canticle of the Birds as the Aga Khan gallery in London.

This should cheer me up no end …. @politybooks.bsky.social

It’s perfectly possible - it’s just a piss poor excuse and they know it…👆👆👆

It’s perfectly conceivable but it remains damning - he gets off on a small technicality but at the cost of his long term position and the reputation of his government…👆👆👆

Just in case you were feeling too upbeat about the world Raymond Geuss has a new book out @politybooks.bsky which should bring you crashing down to earth. I’ll still buy and read as I’m that kind of person…

Not sure if it answers your precise question but Georgios Varouxakis wonderful The West is a good source tracing the idea to Auguste Comte in 1820s - The West emerges in opposition to other ways of thinking about alternatives to Europe or the Occident. 👆👆👆

New episode of The Pitt drops with new character…

I think the clue was in the ‘Trump’s Pollster’…

Trump's post on the pope is simply demented (and evil). In its claims, and in the tone it strikes toward the Vicar of Christ, the spiritual leader of 1.4 billion.

Interesting 👆👆👆

Looking forward to CEU returning to its rightful home in Budapest …

So he will have been in town to witness and enjoy not just the result but the popular celebrations …

This is all just a bit ‘sixth form’ - I can’t believe this sort of debate is still going on. Bad writing is ubiquitous and not a national or civilisational prerogative.

As the UK right wing press becomes more intoxicated with the money it can make out of MAGA US audiences the BBC‘s traditional role in being its little echo becomes even more bizarre and dare one say it … treacherous.

Good 👆👆👆

Of all the stories at the moment #BBCr4today was leading with Labour betray Brexit nonsense about dynamic alignment all because of @dailymail.co.uk @thesun.co.uk etc - meanwhile in Hungary the Putin/Trump right was stuffed and Trump’s war continues - oh and Pope Leo has got under his skin

He’s trolling Vance and Rubio -
