@george_w18 First insightful thing McCulloch has said in years

@JohnnyMcIvor However, I have known some Japanese people to come to rural England and say ‘this place is great, so much nicer than the rural Japanese’ etc. So I guess there’s also a ‘grass is always greener’ aspect to it. I couldn’t comment on their cities as I didn’t really go there as much.

[Chrims @Falling_Coast]

@JohnnyMcIvor I suppose some of that is a novelty aspect on their part. When you are a Caucasian strolling around tiny Japanese villages people are very surprised to see you and try quite hard to impress you or at the very least learn what it is you’re doing there.

@BovrilG @cavalierpatriot Using ‘were’ instead of ‘was’ is still very common in Yorkshire and the North East of England

@maxtmcc @WestchesterRai1 The Tyne river is very wide and deep there and N and S Shields are both quite urbanised ports. The two ends of the metro at these ends is connected by a passenger ferry

While the Soviet invasion of Finland was obviously horrible, it seems clear to me that the Finns should have accepted the Soviet land trade offer

They ended up losing way more land despite winning the war!

@Msamalam Because he is generally quite nice and makes nice little videos of himself doing funny things. He has a pleasant demeanour and seems genuinely enthusiastic when he’s visiting places or doing stuff.
Uncommon for a diplomat to be like this.

@Adrian_Hilton @HCH_Hill It is an unfair system to humanities students to essentially force them to subsidise STEM degrees and then kick them on the way out with low paying unfulfilling careers in areas they didn’t expect. Unis and society lies to them for the whole time promising high paying jobs

[Chrims @Falling_Coast]

@Adrian_Hilton @HCH_Hill I am grateful to Humanities students for subsidising my STEM degree, but the argument here is that graduates of humanities subjects expect higher paying salaries for getting a degree when this is no longer possible. We have overproduced ‘elites’. They should be warned beforehand.

It’s been such a long time since Qanon that the new big gimmick accounts no longer know what it was

@anglofuturist Anglo version of that conbini in Japan in front of Mt Fuji

[Chrims @Falling_Coast]

@ErrolTostigson Spring snow is one of my favourite Mishima novels. I was glad that I was able to recommend this to some of my Japanese colleagues at work so they could read it in the original language and compare to the English translation.

Sometimes I forget that this announcement graphic I designed a few years ago has become an international meme format

@ekajcw @Lucius_Winslow @haeslhop What are you talking about it was literally @JacobGroet??

@The_Clermontian Peter Zeihan speaks a lot about this.

@LibertyCappy 99% sure this woman teaches English in Japan and vlogs about it

@carto_graph We still have some named services. The LNER Route from London KX to Inverness is called 'The Highland Chieftain'

[Chrims @Falling_Coast]

@The_Clermontian The Leeds to Hull (via Selby) rail electrification plan had been planned in 2014 and has been pushed back ever since. Still isn’t done. And now the new ‘northern powerhouse rail’ plan also ignores it.
