Watch a UK-aired interview with Irish Republican Gerry Adams between 1988 and 1994, and pay attention to his delivery; the former politician’s voice, usually uninflected, has been replaced, and his mouth is moving out of sync with the audio, which is lagging. In October 1988, Margaret Thatcher banned the members and supporters of eleven Irish […]

In my Nov. 7 analysis of the Russo-Ukrainian War I missed two serious developments on the line of contact that I simply didn’t have the bandwidth to notice.

UNCLE BILL: Sure, I mean, obviously, I’m not happy with the result. Before we took our places, I was informed I’d be sitting at the kids’ table, which, frankly, I think is a slap in the face given my history with this organization. Everyone likes to preach that we’re a family around here, and you just don’t expect to be treated this way by family. I respect the host’s judgment, but I disagree with the decision. I just tried to focus on the meal and do my best out there.
REPORTER: Were you given a reason as to why you were demoted?

Critics say "Orwell would have enjoyed the irony" of the former Conservative minister's appointment
Here’s how this is gonna go: First, you will step up to the rental counter only when I give you The Look. The Look is not markedly different from my resting face. In fact, it’s no different at all. But it’s your job to recognize The Look, so pay attention. If, upon your turn, you hesitate for one single second, I will call out “Next,” in a way that strikes fear into the hearts of God, everyone in line behind you, and this cardboard cutout of Hertz brand ambassador Tom Brady.

What you do need to do is give me your driver’s license and credit card within the first three seconds of approaching the counter. This is not something I’ll ask you verbally. This is something you must understand innately, while I stare at my computer and hold out my hand just enough to suggest I might be waiting for something, but not enough to make it clear what I’m waiting for. And I swear to god, if you start reading me your reservation number out loud, I will shut you down and send you out of here on a bicycle.
