Things like this get me excited for the Luddite revolution

This is of course far too optimistic a thought given the current situation, and based on zero evidence. But what if the historic comeback is leading to a historic comeuppance?

Very intrigued to see how closely they stick to the book’s mad brilliance, aka the extremely weird medical weight loss flashback sequence, Bridget writing a screenplay in which the title is misspelled but no one notices, Helen Fielding’s version of Twitter that bears no relation to reality

Wouldn’t it be great if Trump offered Farage a job in his cabinet? Unfortunately that would depend on him remembering who Farage was

If Trump does win tomorrow, maybe the Democrats will finally learn the lesson from 2016 that America is not ready for a vice president called Tim

It’s so weird that in a week’s time, one of this election’s many random headlines floating around - Trump doing well with Hispanic voters, Elon Musk’s ground game app looking glitchy, the long-forgotten debate performances - is going to be the smoking gun to this whole thing

Whisper it, but Boris’s book dropping by 62% in a week isn’t even that bad (Prince Harry’s plummeted 84%) and it’s half price because all big books are constantly half price. Some people are buying bad books, get over it

Every company in the world: here’s the product or service you want in exchange for money
Sofa companies: what? You want it right away?! Well… I mean, we’ll start making it, I guess, but it’s going to be nine weeks at least, and that’s if we hurry. Which we won’t
