Optimistic catastrophist. Procrastivist. Comms & policy type. Writes books, takes photos.

Why did he construct an analogy in which he is on the side of the Nazis?

[Rory McCarthy @roryisconfused]

The sorts that’re all in a huff about Emily Wilson are happy to praise Anne Carson’s translations, which are just as tonally informalised/irreverent/modern/every other quality of Wilson’s that they despise, simply because no one’s instructed them to hate her yet.

@x3r0gx4 @MatthewJDalby @WIRED Thank you for taking the time to set out your perspective. Appreciated.

[Greg Bagwell @gregbagwell]

The commemoration of the bravery, tragedy and importance of D-Day is not ever the place to try and score cheap political points. What an ignorant and disrespectful dumbass.

[Oliver @fromOliver]

@SarahDuggers And when he's not being weird about his own health he actually offers a fair amount of quite sensible advice.

[Oliver @fromOliver]

@SarahDuggers I can't help myself but I actually have a soft spot for Don't Die Man. He's often funny, self-aware, very... well human... despite his data obsessive reputation.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Oh my god

No quicker way to reveal you know f*ck all about Britain than calling yourself ‘Scots-Irish’ - not a thing any Brit would say - and not understanding why we have a population of Sikhs

Americans are so weird

[Ethan Isaacs @JustEthanP]

I just found out British people call dish soap washing up liquid 😭 Brits are not serious people

[Oliver @fromOliver]

And still something I'd vote for.

[Robert Colvile @rcolvile]

Someone just randomly came across this and flagged it to me, and still think it works?

@AlanLevinovitz @WIRED Thanks for writing and sharing this - found it very interesting (and fwiw chimed with my own experiences with other illnesses). It might be right or wrong on some details, I don't know, but I find that many of the responses you're getting to it are quite telling

[Oliver @fromOliver]

@MatthewJDalby @x3r0gx4 @WIRED As an outsider who has read it I remain slightly baffled by this reaction to an article that seems of genuine interest - even if you strongly disagree with it.

[Oliver @fromOliver]

What a complete piece of shit this man is.

Pete Hegseth in Normandy:

Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.

In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive.

When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.

It's hard to know where to even start.

I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

If only there were a safe process for removing pathogens from milk.

@nntaleb Ditto humans

[Oliver @fromOliver]

@OdedRechavi In that case so are humans. Not sure what your point is
