Just keep him on constant flattery state visits
Ugh hope it works out OK
I want to go back already
Miran seems to be doing a great job isolating himself from day one
I’m not as cynical and they are improving quickly, and tbf Faulkner is a tough test. But yes.
GPT and LLMs will be part of our future, but it’s sometimes fun to still remind yourself of their limitations (and yes some humans might think this is literature/good writing)
Summer is over
Last night of the BBC Proms — can we go back to national celebration being more like this? I guess I’m just an “elitist” now
If the UK media can correctly label Tommy Robinson “far right” I’m not sure why the media get away calling Kirk simply “conservative”
Away from the many other Labour failures, Streeting is an incompetent moron on.ft.com/4prDBvE UK health officials seek to reopen drug-pricing talks amid fallout from Merck exit
Oh damn no Radiohead :-(
Now he’s going to get extra booed
Another win for the Starmer government #testalert
I confess when thinking of these things I do weigh what’s four hours from London vs what’s four hours from NYC and yeah, not even close
Need to make Madeira home
Boo the prez relentlessly at the US Open tomorrow
“Mark and Julie Pulte, the father and stepmother of Bill Pulte, President Donald Trump’s appointee as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, since 2020 have claimed so-called ‘homestead exemptions.’”
I think we could spend 45 minutes just breaking down Mommie Dearest and The Eyes of Laura Mars
Dropped a key word “less” there but thank you for reading through it!
Radiohead at the Ashmolean, Radiohead at the O2, mas Radiohead
Supply and demand. Higher rates for 3 years mean pension funds and other natural liability hedgers need 10+ year bonds especially given risks. Even more acute in Japan given population aging.
Let alone the same day Farage was allowed to say whatever he wanted to get headlines
What’s the point of reporting this factually when we have seen how many appointments have done the opposite of what was said in confirmation testimony? on.ft.com/4637NEl Donald Trump’s Fed nominee to pledge ‘independence’ as he seeks Senate confirmation
Radiohead!
Worst Log Cabin Republican ever
Izzy and Lizzy are quite a combo
Pathetic terrible not-doing-your-job headline/lead/story right now www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/u...
Also some flowers of Madeira — an African tulip tree and Bengal clock vine included
So here are pics of Madeiran eucalyptus forests in the mountain fog
On holiday for another week and desperately trying to tune out from the news
Not optimistic but would be funny if attacking the Fed is the hill the Trump admin comes apart on
I feel like I would be too depressed to know the polling numbers of what share of Americans agree or disagree with this statement
I didn’t expect American democracy to start burning so quickly while starting a two-week holiday…
Is she even fired? Can she be?
Slightly shocked this morning to learn “With or without you” and “Living on a prayer” didn’t make #1 on the UK charts
What kind of art is that for these players?

Any Madeira lovers out there with tips for non-vertiginous levada walks?
How am I only watching Train to Busan now
Where did you pick that up? Koizumi fanboy is about as niche as it gets
Couldn’t last 10 minutes with Happy Gilmore 2
WTF is compulsive tennis — captivating maybe? Compelling to watch? I almost prefer chatGPT over obviously bad writing
It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.
Love London
Soon enough
Yay!!! 🏴 🏴 🏴
Asking GPT slightly inappropriate questions is getting fun
You’re so Venn
Actually doing it for the big 5-0 in a month
Where to even start… on.ft.com/3GZ4HbU Tory leader Kemi Badenoch says she is Britain’s chainsaw-wielding Javier Milei
I just want to disappear in Madeira and call it a day
The Ed Sullivan documentary on Netflix is really good. Did not know how much he helped black artists and Motown break into the mainstream in the 1960s
A commanding victory and so boring #theopen
I miss the giant turd
Scheffler bores me
😂😂😂
Local Japanese market was playing Amy Winehouse’s “Fuck me pumps” and no one batted an eye, it was almost like being back in Tokyo again
Also the Ted Lasso guy giving live commentary
At that age when your tipsy Friday night is watching the opening night of the Proms
Wasn’t that the entire Covid experience in the UK?
It was only for a good laugh. I both do and don’t understand how this stuff gets greenlit.
As much as it pains me to say this, we could use rain
You can only approach that movie from a camp POV and knowing it is just dumb
Ridley Scott sunk to new lows with Gladiator II but so many LOL moments
Yeah actually managed that okay. But also divots that don’t heal!
It’s been a bit unusually dry during the UK summer
The US trade deficit with Japan a threat to our national security — it’s almost dumb just to even engage with that
Summer starts with Eurovision
Why oh why do the midges love me so
My partner was really upset with Rod Stewart’s Glasto set list today #happypride
Do they show Glasto in the US?
I wish iPlayer would just post the damn Pulp set so I can see the songs I missed
The answer is always Radiohead for people like us
This is almost starting to redeem Guns N Roses
En Vogue really good too (if that’s your thing)
Some preachy Neil Young music is certainly a contrast to Coldplay a year ago #glastonbury2025
It’s just so obviously absurd
I know I’m fading into Gen X ageism but it’s fun to see a group like En Vogue stand out at Glastonbury now
Ha yeah that’s like trying to find a good taco here (still don’t let them tell you otherwise). Best part of a journalism internship in Naples FL back in the day was the Cuban cafe around the corner for lunch or afternoon coffee, besides the beach being three blocks away when a shift was over
The Earl would like a word with you

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.
Did Bloomberg, De Blasio or Eric Adams have any implications for national politics? No. Next.
That column in the FT last week was so confused
Podcasts are noise upon noise
Mixing up 10000 yen vs 1000 yen in buying sake once was a lifelong lesson
I don’t know anything
And suddenly my suggestions are full of politicians
Great thread
Noise properly ignored
I forgot how much Team America foretold everything we’re going through
They misspelled my name
