No. 42: Pan Amsterdam
From dirt road blues to crypto hoes and beyond with the Texan renaissance man.

OK! Pan Amsterdam is live, and he takes us from dirt road blues to crypto hoes, Soulquarians to Iggy Pop, teenage talent shows with Destinys Child to drunkenly calling a beloved DJ “a McCauley Culkin-looking motherfuckerr”. This one is an absolute RIOT. GET INVOLVED.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

From now on, when discussing the budget, please use “is this measure bigger than the cost to the exchequer of gen Z drinking less” as your metric for assessing whether something actually raises or costs a significant sum

It would also shift the tipping point for any possible GOP turncoats given that their defining quality is cowardice.
Noem is 53. She isn't POTUS. She also isn't Donald Trump. There is time, she isn't as shielded, and she isn't as slippery.
Promising to prosecute members of this administration for crimes against humanity, even if it means altering existing laws to do so, would be a great campaign platform.

The problem isn’t as much that she defied a court order that would land any of us in jail immediately, it’s that she will never be held accountable for it. The legacy of this administration will be the destruction of legal ramifications for anyone who’s pledged loyalty to the Great Orange One.

Hopefully we can stop discussing fiscal policy and the economy soon and get back to surging immigration. (Editor: please check).

E-bikes are going to be a bigger revolution than people realise I reckon.
And subsidising them is another easy government win. Denver did, and slashed car journeys massively. I'd be willing to be every pound in subsidy saves £££ on road resurfacing and congestion costs.

And don't give me weather or hills as an excuse.
Electric bikes eliminate hills these days if you are too fat/unfit
Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany have huge bike use and have equally as wet weather as the UK.
They are fitter(fact) and slimmer we are fatter. And too many are idle.

The government could get an absolutely massive boost if instead of its STUPID, STUPID digital regulations, it imposed requirements for transparency and choice on e-commerce delivery option - i.e. part refunds if delivery isn't when promised, option to select which delivery co is used.
in the year of our lord twenty twenty five when many retailers can do next-day delivery, it should not be too much to ask some other retailers that they bestir themselves to ship an order within a day or so. Why yes I am waiting for something I ordered last week to ship, ffs.

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

This, but also, in the world of ‘as long as you’re civil we’ll hear you out’ not only is farage acceptable, he’s *more* acceptable than someone on the left who challenges something seen as received wisdom within the Politeness Politics bubble.
And there is a very good chance that he will continue to be booked on TV for many decades to come because the establishment soft-left hates themselves.
This is the thing to hang onto - I’m glad people are appalled by Farage’s Nazi sympathies now, but the fact is, he was able to present TV programmes and constantly appear as a sofa guest for decades, booked by people who knew it all. We must reckon with that.

Fun fact I couldn't mention until now: At the time Graham Linehan was harassing Sophia Brooks online, I was contacted by her former teachers and School Safeguarding Team to get her latest contact details, as they were worried sick about her being publicly stalked by an abusive alcoholic celebrity.
