only the exaggerations are true.

Crass and unpleasant comments, absolutely, but being crass and unpleasant shouldn’t be an arrestable offence. Police attitudes to speech are very worrying.

To defend like that immediately after scoring was a mistake. A terrible mistake. And how many times do England have to make it before they gain the confidence to get a lead and then press on?

Many of the replies here are missing the point that it’s not me who identified Toddlerism-Karenism as a distinctive national characteristic, it’s the OP and others. Take it up with them!

The core idea of all of these posts seems to be that American culture is to stomp your feet and yell IT’S NOT FAIR IT’S NOT FAIR until mommy gives in and buys you the toy

[Ellen Carmichael @ellencarmichael]

On the red card scandal, I don’t think Europeans understand American mindset: we do not accept a wrong not being righted. In Europe, the customer is always wrong, and they accept bad things happen sometimes through no fault of one’s own. This is an impossibility to an American.

@Anon12759764 I do think that the cleavage between the constant drive to (perceived) optimisation in the US and a more cautious approach to change over here is a more salient cultural difference than what the OP was trying to articulate, yes.

@LouisdaItalian I actually think it’s the view that ‘if only Mr Trump has a word with Infantino they can sort it out’ that displays the more deferential and even touchingly optimistic view towards authority. Get the Emperor to sort out his bad officials, hey?

[Jack Price @JackLPrice]

@Joe___Allen A more confident nation would embrace the Romanitas conferred by the name Wales, which places Welsh identity in a firmly European context, in addition to the term Cymru.

Frankly, we should be reclaiming the term Briton as well…

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

Club statement: 1st June 2026

[Jack Price @JackLPrice]

A whinging excuse for a statement.

Acts as if the PL money was in the bank when Hull beat them twice this season.

And fails to recognise that a breach of sporting integrity demands a sporting sanction.

But at least we know they’re very sorry (that they got caught).

Related to a worry I have about prevention as an approach – lots to be gained from a whole system approach to improving life outcomes; less so from a ‘tough on cake, tough on the causes of cake’ approach. But which do we really think is more likely?

[Joe Allen @Joe___Allen]

Joylessness is a defining characteristic of government at all levels in Wales.

Also, so telling that the council present a decision that they've taken as somehow being out of their hands.

[James Marriott @j_amesmarriott]

The romantic notion that modern students are replacing reading with "other ways of absorbing information" (e.g. watching philosophy lectures on YouTube) is amazingly persistent. All the evidence suggests this is not what is going on. They are replacing reading with TikTok slop.

@Joe___Allen There’s no chance this ever leads to a successful prosecution but a 100% chance the chilling effect is weaponised against the Wrong Sort of speech

[Jack Price @JackLPrice]

The main role of Citizens’ Assemblies is imo to shortcut the normal democratic process of persuasion by fiat and committeese

[Joe Allen @Joe___Allen]

"I struggle to think of any citizens’ assembly advocate who thinks citizens’ assemblies will reach conclusions they object to."

Hard to disagree with any of this.

'Democractic Innovations' bit of (otherwise v good) Constitutional Future of Wales report was the weakest bit.

@tfwrail Thanks, I have since resolved via WhatsApp.

[Jack Price @JackLPrice]

@tfwrail I received a PAYG penalty fare yesterday travelling from Cardiff central on the Coryton line. There was nowhere to tap in visible and the assistant on platform advised we should tap on on train - which I did, and have now had a £20 penalty fare applied. Please advise.
