ICYMI I've started writing for Elections Daily again, providing coverage on the 2026 elections.
This is hopefully the first of a few articles of a similar nature that I plan on writing, so keep an eye out for more.

Honestly at this point I support Scottish independence. I tend not to support separatism as it's usually childish and pig-headed, but I also think that states owe their regions good reasons to remain united, which the UK simply hasn't been doing.

Language is a funny thing. If you put a bunch of Italians in the same room and they only spoke their local dialects they probably wouldn't understand each other, but if you put a Bosniak, a Croat, a Montenegrin and a Serb in the same room, they'd beat each other to death with their bare hands.

Instead of working today I found the novel that I wrote like 140,000 words of over the course or 2023, and it brought back a lot of inspiration.
