He won't stand because he knows if he stands he will lose again, and he is massively psychologically averse to being seen to lose. He would rather go off to Mar A Lago will his ill-gotten billions and 747, and tell everyone he's proved that the Republicans cannot win without Trump

Morons. We're surrounded by morons. Maybe this one thinks he can get some synthetic voters to provide him with synthetic votes come election time. The Westminster bubble, like the Washington bubble, shows no sign of absorbing just how unpopular this stuff is now, let along how unpopular it will be

Interesting to see the advert! That must be very close to the ultimate Smith & Sniff "rare but nobody cares" car nowadays though

at the low low cost of only £2,000, if 400 online voters is all it takes for some group or other to get their way, and voting membership starting at £5

Interesting. So, for £2000, any person or organisation can recruit 400 people on a full voting £5 month's membership, and vote through a policy.

it's not too late to repent and mend your ways

Yes, will be before 1960 as that was the year they moved over from the Constellation to the Boeing 707-320 for transatlantic ops

Pleased to see 'Plato: a civic life' featured among the best-selling biographies in @reaktionbooks.bsky.social's new catalogue - and sure that Plato would be intrigued by some of the company he is keeping here!

page 60 from the Reaktion books spring 2027 catalogue, titled at the bottom 'Bestselling backlist - biography'. Eight books are featured, with their covers displayed and publication details. Lives include are Thomas Becket, Qaddafi, Enver Hoxha, Gutenberg (left column); Mao, Katherine Mansfield, Plato and Maurice Ravel (right column). The covers of the Mao, Hoxha and Plato books all have a striking red background.

The paperback of my 'Plato: a civic life' will be published on March 1st. I'll be doing some more talks and podcasts in support, and will add details to this thread as they're confirmed. More info and a pre-order link here: reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/plato

A book sits on a wooden shelf with a vase behind it. On the red cover three Doric columns are topped by the texts Plato: A civic life: Carol Atack

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.
