I really fail to see the point of this kind of deeply unserious commentary from what is meant to be a major national newspaper.

Yes, we should absolutely replace Wikipedia, a marvel of the internet where subject matter experts collaborate and debate to build a detailed, exhaustive, thoroughly-sourced resource on every topic made freely available under an open license, with a closed-source blackbox chatbot.

It does, yes, but not by any Germans. The Hanoverians didn't conquer anyone. They just lucked into a way better crown for a few generations. Britain was more or less ok with this at the time because it preferred foreign Protestants to homegrown Catholics.

Matthew Gomes @matthewddsg.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Yeah, 1701 Act of Settlement was passed inside of a year from William's death, in response to the death of soon-to-be Queen Anne's son, William, Duke of Gloucester. Thus my point that the Hanoverian succession was a matter of succession law, not conquest.

Ok so I'm all for this idea so long as we direct the trebuchet away from any fragile ecosystems, because the North Sea needs more pollution like humanity needs more Times columnists.

I feel like, if we can all agree on something, it should be that neither the Dutch nor the Brits who marry Dutch people are Germans.

Matthew Gomes @matthewddsg.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Indeed, by the Dutch under William of Orange. But since it installed 2 monarchs of the already reigning British House of Stuart, 1 of the Dutch House of Orange-Nassau, and 0 Germans, it wasn't particularly relevant.

The Houses of Hanover & Saxe-Coburg and Gotha were not brought to the British throne by foreign conquest. In both cases it was a matter of recondite succession law. In the former case, recondite succession law then-recently passed by the British parliament to exclude Catholics.

Suggesting that ADHD is a myth is pseudoscientific and dangerous | New Scientist
ADHD is a real condition that can have serious consequences if undiagnosed. An ill-informed documentary that suggests it is a modern, social construct could cause harm, says Caroline Williams

Studios are full of creative people who are big fans of the properties they're working on. But they're also ponderous multinational enterprises with activist investors, political risk exposure in multiple jurisdictions, and powerful higher-ups with their own views and motivations.

I have a (white) person in my life who is a big fan. Once when they were trying to argue with me about it (not something I wanted to do) I proposed we watch 10 episodes together and count how many white cultures come up. Hasn't been mentioned in years.

This is funny because it is literally true. This is what Tolkien wrote, in words, in the text. It's not an interpretation or a joke. Frodo is the chicken.
