As someone who was immersed in the Spanish language when I lived in Ecuador for over a decade, I have only one thing to say: Daniel Hannan is a fucking idiot. Bilingualism is one reason why my daughter is excelling in her studies.

I could be wrong, but non-USian social media users now number in the tens of thousands.

Why do Russian bot farms continue to put huge efforts into destabalising Western democracies if they have no effect on the outcome? It's baffling.

I love the direction the Overton window is moving on this issue. Pretty soon, it will be socially unacceptable to deny the obvious joining the EU.

Try living in the UK where road distances are measured in miles, fuel is sold by the litre, then measure the car's fuel economy in miles per gallon.

Just realised I could have worded this a bit better. I did not mean to imply a relationship between my wife's periods and her car radio listening habits.

Not my mum but my wife. Hates Madonna. Changes the radio station if she comes on in the car. I have never been able to get to the bottom of it beyond "I prefer more modern music." Even if that means listening to Ella Fucking Langley for the twelve millionth time.

On Nick Ferrari this morning, he said that he had an agreement with Marine Le Pen to take back small boats. Yeah, because the one thing we know about the French far-right is that they will welcome asylum seekers that have already left France with open arms. The last days of a mad emperor.

The antithesis of all this is, of course, Six Feet Under, a series which stuck the landing so perfectly that it became impossible for anything to match it.

I've argued this for years. Nobody's money should be 'hard-earned' either. It should be 'fair-earned' as in a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.

Oddly, when I lived in Ecuador, whatsapp was the preferred method of doing business, and I still get communications now from Ecuadorian contacts 5 years later.The thought of unsolicited business messages in the UK fills me with horror though. I guess it's another symptom of USian enshitification.
