I’m sorry but this David Cameron inclusion is ridiculous. You can’t just decide the previous five years were irrelevant because you want a specific cut-off.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

British Prime Ministers since 2015 and how long they spent in power:

David Cameron — 429 days
Theresa May — 1,106 days
Boris Johnson — 1,140 days
Liz Truss — 49 days
Rishi Sunak — 619 days
Keir Starmer — 717 days + remaining days (resigned today)

[Nick Charles Currie @nickcharlesc]

There’s absolutely truth to this but also the number does kinda tell the story here. If you’ve been unable to get even one PM to last in a decade, you are inherently a bit ungovernable. When the problems at hand are solvable mostly through unpopular means, that’s even more true.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

🧵There’ll likely be a rush to call British public ungovernable in the wake of Starmer’s resignation. But blaming the voters is a cop out, and imo the reason for 5 PMs in 6 years is that all of them stuffed up in avoidable ways. Going through them:

@Unpaid1ntern That’s fair. I think there’s probably an extent to which I also expect more better of Power than I do of Rahal

[Nick Charles Currie @nickcharlesc]

I get why people are blaming Rahal, because he does come over too late, but ultimately that’s a pretty normal move to cover off. IMO though. Power has no justification for sticking his wing there. That move is absolutely never on, so it’s more on him.

@Unpaid1ntern It doesn’t forbid it, but we saw the same cut across at slower corners all day (T6 mainly). Obviously, it’s less dangerous because those are slower, but IndyCar was letting that go, even with contact, all day. That was less irregular a move than sticking a quarter of the nose in.

[Nick Charles Currie @nickcharlesc]

@Unpaid1ntern It is, but it’s also clear when he starts and Power never has the move anyway. He definitely bares some blame, but that should’ve just been opening up the corner. Power wasn’t getting much more alongside than that, so I see it as more over-ambitious on his side. Still 60/40ish.

[Nick Charles Currie @nickcharlesc]

This is a common misconception. The first two Cars movies are about introducing kids to genres (Rom Coms, Spy Thrillers respectively). This is also why Mater’s Tall Tales existed. The problem was Cars 3 bucking that trend.

[Aidan @scuderiaidan]

Cars 2 would’ve been so much cooler if it was actually about the World Grand Prix. I mean I love it anyway but Cars is a racing series and it’s core

Yesterday, the BBC announced there'd be no Doctor Who for the foreseeable future and the departure of the show's recent brain trust. That made it the perfect time to look at how the show got to this point, from an on-screen perspective.

I’m sorry, how are both teams this bad at rhyming? New York going ABCC does not absolve San Antonio of going AAAA. Both of those are repugnant.

No, I didn't forget to do a tweet when I published the article, how could anyone possibly think such a thing

[Nick Charles Currie @nickcharlesc]

For a multitude of reasons, this very good trade does not justify that pick, nor should the pick have been a prerequisite for the trade.

One detail the #Rams have privately stressed: The Myles Garrett trade likely doesn’t happen if they don’t draft Ty Simpson at No. 13.

With a QB they believe can be the future already in place, the Rams are once again comfortable using future draft capital to acquire elite talent. They don’t need to worry about those picks for a QB.

Rahal has said Schumacher’s testing times were excellent and that his inputs were insanely smooth. I can believe that and I can justify giving him the benefit of the doubt because of the wrist. Without the wrist, he’d be a goner, but this just hasn’t been a proper evaluation.

[Nick Charles Currie @nickcharlesc]

My only take on Schumacher rn is it would’ve been nice to see him without a broken wrist. He’s made too many mistakes and lacked pace too often, but he’s driving a new, physical car with a broken wrist. Everyone else racing through injuries has a decade in the sport.

Unimportant tangent I couldn't find a place for in the article, but I deeply hate the show's abrupt insistence on creating "eras." Old School/New School developed pretty naturally, I'm confident the New Era would've as well. Open Era means absolutely nothing rn.

Survivor is one of the most influential TV shows of the 21st century. It has to stop reinventing the wheel.

I’m actively writing a Substack post adjacent to this, but Survivor 50 merged with 17 players left and, to get to a final three, only four players went out in normal votes. Everyone else’s vote was in some way affected by a twist. Two were even in the same episode!
