"The term “lame duck” would be haunting any other president’s sleep. But the concept is alien to Trump. He spends more of his time telling people about his architectural plans than he devotes to Iran, AI or the economy. Insoluble problems hold no interest." My column. as.ft.com/r/928f5cb7-6...

Trump is checking out of his presidency

With no way out of his war with Iran, he is increasingly obsessed with monuments to himself

Some great images in this piece. I wish we could have seen some detail on the springtail scales, as mentioned in the copy.

Last year I had the thought, "Maybe it would be nice to write a collection of stories all set in the kind of places I'd expect to find if I stepped through these portals I photograph on my walks?" It was. And it's now published, and available here: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

'Not long ago, Just Stop Oil activists were given long sentences for simply discussing blocking infrastructure. In contrast, the balaclava-wearing gangs now do much the same with apparent impunity. One could almost call it two-tier justice.'

Graham Farmelo is such a nice man that I'm bit surprised (but like Philip pleased) thst he's apparently gone so hard on Hawking's more unpleasant side.

Thinking about a term/concept that a friend of a friend came up with: "Ambient political horror" It's when a work of art pushes your libidinal "Oh my god the world is terrible" buttons without actually giving you a specific warning or message

It's been quite a few years since I last went to Enf of the Road Festival and while I'd love to ho back, I just don't think I'm capable of navigsting the site anymore, but I still like reading the reviews and I'm glad it's retained its soul. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

End of the Road festival review – Pulp and CMAT lead indie landmark’s joyous birthday party

Hitting 20, this festival has grown into a warm, genre-hopping powerhouse where fringe experimental acts are greeted as warmly as the star headliners

Did another prominent American feminist die about fifteen years ago? Because I'm having some major Mandela-Effect feelings.

The Termite Terrace team that produced the peak Warner Brothers cartoons (some time after A Wild Hare) was one of the greatest examples of multi-disciplinary working In history. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

All this stuff on the news going to Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham's hometowns, schools etc is going to leave them nothing to show if they actually get to the final. I don't think they will, but I also didn't think they'd beat Norway or Mexico, and I thought France would win last night.
