Don't get distracted by all the daily bullshit from Trump and his remaining loyalists. The central dynamic unfolding right now is how Trump and the US government are losing control of events at home and abroad. A post-American order looks increasingly possible.

RIP Chris Wickham. Unlike so many historians who emphasise particularities and contingencies, he was the master of constructing grand, coherent, beautifully rendered worlds out of his evidence. This, from his 2021 Past and Present essay, is a masterpiece of historical writing.

Apparently the simpleton interviewed by R4 Today this morning about the US buying Russian diesel is Stephen Moore, an ‘economist’. Why choose to interview people like that who won’t speak anything close to the truth?

an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

Hungarian (I think) postcard of the sinking French Cruiser Leon Gambetta, which we're assured is the victim of a "megtorpedozot". It's certainly been dotted all right.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Ghoul on BBC Politics Live... "Burnham thinks the state can make growth, it cant, its down to private business and entrepreneurs" This is the sort of right wing horseshit that is destroying the UK. The state can play a pivotal role in growth, essential even. How would she explain Chinese growth?
