This will never get old.

Possibly. But clearly there needs to be an obvious and serious consequence to plotting European assassinations beyond what Ukraine is already doing (tbh I assume that Europe isn’t only playing defence either, but it does seem remarkably blase about it).

It’s wild to me that this kind stuff — assassination threats, sabotage, cyber warfare and airspace encroachment — is now entirely routine. Isn’t it time that Europe goes more on the offence to show that both sides can play that game, beyond just supporting Ukraine?

The REAL Nobel prize is being announced on Monday (economics, natch). Who do we think is winning it? Who should win it?

My work here is complete.

Yeah I used to be pretty zealous about always finishing every single book, but these days I do sometimes find myself drifting off to something new and shiny.

Thank you! But encouraging me to continue to carpet bomb the internet with book plugs could backfire...

(And these are just the physical books I’ve recently bought, I have another two new digital ones on my phone).

Obviously book sales matter a lot to me (and the great people at Penguin) but as a lover and huge user of public libraries this is INCREDIBLY thrilling.
