A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

He got lost in tacky Second Empire white and gold. He has an unlearned, underclass idea of what constitutes good taste.

Despite being a property developer, his ideas of æsthetics are unlearned, and his instincts are so tacky as to make any deficit in learned taste even worse.

MAGA's perfect POTUS.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

It's crazy how you sign up to a new social media app on a random day, and then several months down the line, you've made new genuine friendships 🥹💕

Thank you to everyone who has shared or read Future North in its first week!

This week I have started with two pictures. But can you guess what they are and why they are important?

Short thread.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Being interviewed by Terry Gross ruined all other interviewers for me.

"Well prepared" doesn't even begin to cover it, and she is just so generous in the conversation.

It's like playing tennis with Serena Williams but she only wants to keep the volley going as long as possible.
