It's like the story taught in globalization class about the children who visit the US and say "mom, dad, there's McDonald's in America too!".

This, in Rome’s Termini Station, is an undeniable New York City cultural victory but also feels weird

I fear that as a society we're putting a strain on the definition of the word "regressive" beyond what it can reasonably be expected to bear
Seems regressive if this means that someone with a £50m house pays the same as a £5m house

OMG. The Guardian have confused Kenneth Clark, presenter of the 1969 series 'Civilisation' with Tory ex-MP & former Chancellor Kenneth Clarke in their review of the new BBC series 'Civilisations:Rise & Fall'

feel a bit sorry for Arne Slot because to me Liverpool's problems are largely that they signed way too many players with way too little planning, and that's not really his fault

interesting and not necessarily what you'd expect from Online that the uk is joint thirteenth with singapore, above Canada, USA, South Korea, Japan, France....
there are a ton of different quality of life indexes but the United States generally sits squarely in the middle of the pack of developed nations, which is about what you'd expect from a very rich country with a poor social security net.

mid twentieth century was actually a very violent time in "the west's" politics, the JFK assassination is an exemplar not a rupture
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

most important performance of this Ashes, by far, will be Nathan Lyon's. England's batting plan totally revolves around smashing him out the ground, both to get the runs and so that Australia have to rejig the attack and make their fast bowlers work so hard they break

Great to see Kenny McLean score such a great goal! Probably my favourite #NCFC player. Good guy! 💛💚

currently reading Speak, Memory which is an interesting combination of the most unbelievably beautiful prose you've ever read and Bouncing Back by Alan Partridge. At one point Nabokov breaks off the narrative with a threadbare excuse just to list the three best scientific papers he wrote

UK Politics Bluesky is a not-particularly-popular role-playing game. the rules are simple: one participant takes the part of "the Stephen Bush", a commentator for the Financial Times, and other participants race to as quickly as possible link any given statement to the Harry Potter media franchise

good to see another local appointment (spiritually, Norfolk is a Benelux country)
As is widely well documented now - expecting #NCFC to confirm the appointment of Philippe Clement as their new head coach in short order.
The Belgian has emerged as the front runner for the job after an extensive interview process.
