So my son James has pointed out I've missed Nietzsche's criticism of Stoicism as a (his words) "half-baked philosophy" (yes, conversations in this house get interesting 😀), so I've updated this founding philosophy for modern living! claude.ai/public/artif...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Michael Gove has dismissed the latest NBER findings showing that #Brexit has reduced GDP by 6–8%.
He may still believe that people in this country have “had enough of experts,” but the reality is that people have had enough of Brexit.

Two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, D.C.
Democrats immediately express their sympathy for the victims and their families.
Republicans immediately spread conspiracy theories to blame Democrats for the shooting.
Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.
