"He compared the summit to a first encounter with a woman: ‘In one second, you know whether or not it’s all going to happen.’ Trump never did get his legover with Kim, but the spectacle of his efforts was riveting."

Me in the @LRB on America & the Kims.

Any time I get into a “How do you count that?” battle in Japanese, I usually win with, “How do you count severed heads taken in battle?”
The answer is Kyu級

RIP (Rest in Polka Dots) Yayoi Kusama, 1929-2026, whom I interviewed in 2026, with @JshPhotog. Link below.

The disproportionate and bullying commentary and coverage of Jason Arday’s mistakes has been obviously dangerous for days. Yes it was a legitimate story, and in various ways a troubling one. But the relentless coverage, the vitriol and bile. The clip of a man talking about us needing more love in the world endlessly mocked. Compare it to the way others who embellished and invented life stories or floated seemingly naive ideas are forgiven. Obviously employers have duties of care. But spare us the pity of those who weaponised his story for social media clicks without a thought.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

The term “witch hunt” is overused in politics. Perhaps not this time. Quite a bit of the British media should ask themselves some serious questions as to whether the tenor and volume of the coverage they gave to this man was remotely proportionate. Likewise there are questions for Cambridge- and whether they discharged their duty of care.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

The number of prominent figures in British public life who relentlessly piled on to an academic of little public or political importance- and are now seeking to pass the buck- is revolting.

The UK’s special relationship alliance with the United States is “meaningless” unless it matches American military capabilities, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth, has told his British counterpart, John Healey.
