Spare a thought this festive season for those who will be spending the Yuletide period all on their own, with no family to visit them. People like ‘A’, who will spend this Christmas without any of his titles.
From the new Private Eye, out now.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?
Noem: We have not deported military veterans.
Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

OK, here is my nightmare scenario (but all too possible):
1) AI bubble crashes economy
2) Trump bails out the 'tech' industry (after all, they came to his inauguration, contribute to his ballroom and can influence public opinion to win him a third term)
3) Worldwide economic depression results

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.
In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.
A massive percentage came from foreigners.
It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.
But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

A hero. Salk saved more lives than we can imagine with his ingenuity.

Jonas Salk was born on this day in 1914 in New York City. He is best known for developing the first safe and effective polio vaccine, one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of the 20th century. He famously refused to patent his vaccine or seek any profit from it. /1

I've been searching for the right word to describe this. 'Tacky' isn't quite right. I think 'gaudy' hits the nail on the head (to use a construction-based metaphor).
