Latest Badenoch: “If [Andy Burnham]’s not calling an election, why’s he talking about things happening in 2030?” - alarming the extent to which so much of our political class cannot process the idea of “planning for events four years in the future”.

I've been talking to quite a few Conservatives for a piece ahead of their conference, and it's striking how many proactively brought up a reason why they think this year's event will be more positive than last: the fact Robert Jenrick won't be there. Such unananimity of dislike is rare.

It’s the 109th anniversary today of respected surgeon Beaman Douglass publishing a learned paper in Torreya, the journal of the Torrey Botanical Society (the oldest botanical society in the Americas, fact fans) all about how he accidentally fucked himself and his wife right up with shrooms

Well, if it’s 30 September, it must be... oh God. The 36th anniversary of the first—and, you may not be entirely surprised to hear—only transmission of a sitcom which was genuinely called ‘Heil Honey, I’m Home’, in which Hitler and Eva Braun live next door to Jewish couple Arny and Rosa Goldenstein

The actual subject matter isn't the issue, no one thinks The Producers is offensive. "A crap I Love Lucy-style sitcom but the character is Hitler" is only a step up from something like Darkplace. The issue is that it was as funny as dysentery. They did the premise and forgot to write the jokes.

While I'm getting things off my chest... lots of talk about 'albums with no skips'. I get the sentiment, but it says a lot about patience and music appreciation. When I spent all my money on an LP I dragged my ears through every track. Because that is how albums work. Skipping tracks is kinda sad.

Today is the 321st anniversary of the last of the ‘wars of the fists’ (guerre dei pugni) on a bridge in Venice. Sometimes also known as battagliole sui ponti, or “little battles on the bridges”, or guerre de canne (wars with sticks), they could also involve cudgels, roof tiles, stones, and knives

Releasing the five people arrested by the airbase on bail after 24 hours is so weird, would be fantastic if it turns out they were just up to no good on an unrelated minor jape and accidentally created an international security story.

Absolutely it has! We now have the situation where, if a trans woman with a GRC were to get married, she’d be recognise as female for the wedding ceremony, but should not be using the women’s toilets at her wedding reception, unless they’re designated as trans inclusive.
