Charles Shaar Murray's review of 10cc's "The Original Soundtrack" is one for the ages. He's... confused by it. I do like the line "The trouble with 10cc is their sweet songs are all booby-trapped".

Honestly the combination of the alleged source betrayals and secret recordings and the way this has rolled out has just fundamentally fucked us all in a way that’s bigger than the Stephen Glass scandal by a significant margin, and I think everyone is grappling with that in real time

Not to pat my profession on the back, for all of our problems, but I do think it's to the law's credit that every US bar association that reviewed Glass' application for a license went "fuuuuuuuuuuuck no."

Also, didn't Boris Johnson write two pieces, one pro-Brexit, one anti-Brexit, and watched where the chips that would lead him closest to political power fell?

this led quite directly to Brexit, both in Johnson's career path and because his specialty when in Brussels was making up lies about 'crazy EU' regulations that didn't exist.
