dear media, Jim Ratcliffe’s far-right language does not mean it’s a green light for a phone-in asking ‘is he right?’ it’s the moment to call out his use of far-right language
Siri, find me an example of Asimov’s comment that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Thomas Massie that begins, ‘Psst, Denmark…’ and jokes that telling the administration the Epstein files are in Greenland would make them lose interest and never find them.
Say what you want, but Massie has game.
The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.
"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."
I legitimately have reached the age where I feel I have to turn the music down in my car so I can see better when pulling out of a junction.
The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.
Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar
An easy way to test how relaxed Mr Gibb is about all this: appoint Sue Gray as the next DG and see whether he defines her by her two months in Number 10 or not.

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way. What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money. Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight. To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

Mason is a smug little child who's high on his own farts. And a touchy little prick when properly challenged. Excellent.
