I just realized I haven’t introduced my miniature donkey to Blue Sky. He’s about 36 inches high and he guards the pasture from coyotes. True story.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

For those too young to remember John Prescott imagine Angela Rayner except she's male/overweight plus Starmer and Reeves are really good at politics but hate each other + she has to stop them fighting all the time.

Yes, Joe Biden has approved the use of long range missiles and land mines, but until he approves the hacking of Russian radio and playing Lara Trump songs on a loop, I'm not sure he's serious about helping Ukraine win this war.

Today in 1316 French King John died.
He had no children because he died at five days. His father Louis X died five months before.
So he's the youngest ever French king & the only one who ruled from birth to death.
It was the end of the Capetian Miracle.

Farmers who are angry at inheritance tax changes should instead focus their efforts on pushing the govt towards closer UK-EU ties.
Restored UK-EU economic relations would remove the Brexit barriers damaging farm profitability and increase tax revenue to reduce the need for inheritance tax changes.

Why many free speech absolutism is nearly always intellectually dishonest and one-sided, in one minute.
I note, for example, that many of those most angry about Alison Pearson’s experience were exactly those calling for police action against things they didn’t like being said on the Gaza protests.

After backlash over a police investigation into a journalist's tweet, The News Agents discuss the right’s so-called "free speech absolutism" which, as it turns out, comes with conditions.
