JD Vance going from 'Trump is America's Hitler and that's why I oppose him' to 'Trump is America's Hitler and that's why I'm running to be his Vice President' -- truly, what an arc

It is indeed wild that the pundit class simply cannot comprehend a person without an arc or story. He was born a selfish egotistical asshole, and he will remain one the rest of his life.

It is amazing to me that the most powerful and best-paid people in political media are still caught up in the idea of A Striking New Tone From Trump. I wrote this in 2020, but the idea goes back to 2017. At this point it says more about them than it does about him. newrepublic.com/article/1571...

It's bizarre to me that we went almost overnight from "all TV must now be on distinctly branded channels serving specific audiences" to mega-services that all do everything and throw it all at you at once

I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again, the most tangible manifestation of the problem with how the streaming services see art is their complete aversion to differentiating between any of it.

"At some point – possibly not til after a leadership contest, but soon – the Tories are going to realise with a jolt quite how little influence an opposition really has." Thoughts on the election result now the dust has settled.

The dust settlesjonn.substack.com This week: the Tories are out at last – but what did the election tell us? Also: on the ontological status of Middlesex; and the world’s fattest parrot.

I once had to apply at very short notice for a visa that would allow me to transit through Russia and thought that was the most stressful and Kafkaesque bureaucratic experience I’d ever have, but I just had to pay for 20 minutes’ parking with RingGo and that was worse.

"And the cause of liberal democracy in Europe, which did NOT die..."

Call me Nostradamus, but I predict that within a few weeks the Reform MPs will act like twats in the House of Commons, unfurl a banner, or somesuch bollocks, get thrown out of the chamber, and never set foot in the HOC for the next five years out of 'principle'.

The clear lesson Farage needs to learn from the Lib Dems is that you get more seats by doing stunts. But because his voters are rock hard, unlike those woke yoghurt drinkers, the stunts he does should all be exceptionally dangerous
