A sad but true story.

Ms. Johnson’s fiancé left her at the altar.

According to legend, that’s why she was so mean.

I never got it.

As a shy child, nobody realized I needed glasses until fifth grade. Most teachers, including Ms. Johnson, thought I was an idiot.

Nobody could see or hear me. It was perfect.

Queen Victoria started the tradition of wearing a white wedding dress. I’m sure Ms. Johnson would have loved that detail if she could have heard me.

In March 1983, representatives from 55 councils across Britain met in Sheffield, brought together by an abhorrence to an injustice 6,000 miles away. For decades, settler colonialism — backed by successive British governments — had imposed a brutal system of racial domination on the indigenous population, driving them from their homes, and forcing them into […]

It’s become impossible to swipe through social media apps without coming across examples of content presented as racialised dystopia. Framed for British consumption, these usually take on the same visually disorienting tone — a busy local high street, two or more racialised, sociolect-speaking protagonists, and a sprinkling of mild, often innocuous, chaos. Such dramatised scenes, […]

I am at the airport in Melbourne (again). I’m sitting in the window eating one of those excellent boxes of kale, broccoli, beans, seeds, peas and a boiled egg that I am grateful are now available at airports. Next to me a father and daughter are observing the world – look at how that plane […]

My last post described my attempt to generate a report on housework using Deep Research, and the way it came to a crashing halt. Over the fold, I’ve given the summary from the last version before the crash. You can read the whole report here, bearing in mind that it’s only partly done. As I […]

Dollar privilege: everyone using the dollar for trade, and the US controlling the system that moves currency around the world is important. When it goes away, and it will in the next five years, I’d guess, the US will take a huge hit to its ability to command the world’s resources and will lose most […]

MAHA for airports: Trump officials pitch mini-gyms, more play areas.”

Hello, travelers. I’m the airport’s shiny new pull-up bar, and I’m ushering in a bold era of aviation wellness absolutely no one asked for. As my boys, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
