In economics, as in geopolitics, Trump fundamentally misunderstands the limits of American power. It is at the centre of everything he does. The markets, the only real impediment to him now, may be about to teach him how wrong he is. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Why do people support dictators? How do dictators come to power? We teamed up with history professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to answer the internet's burning questions about authoritarianism and fascism.

The winner of the 2025 Barkley Marathons is the Barkley Marathons itself. Massive respect to everyone who threw themselves into it, and a salute to John Kelly for the Fun Run. #BM100

The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Keep moving Tomo! #BM100

Last year was a classic. Feels like this year's going to be a classic but for completely different reasons. #BM100

I'm sure I'm not the first to predict that there won't be any finishers this year. #BM100

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 11:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

The conch has been blown. You know what this means. #BM100

Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.

I mean fine, but it’s only because of France that the United States exists.

Went for a long run. Still waiting for the conch. #bm100

Five years today since we officially Brexited! I remember looking in my stocking and Father Brexit had left me a bottle of salad cream, a Mind Your Language VHS boxset, a Big Break annual and a Matchbox die-cast Capri. Then I put a mug of Bovril through the Soda Stream to celebrate.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

People SERIOUSLY need to stop using neurodivergence as an excuse for being a cunt. It's grotesque.

Only neurotypicals seem to say things like 'I can be a bit on the spectrum' as an excuse for bad conduct. Besides, autists not being empathetic has been somewhat debunked. Studies show some autists simply don't know how to *express* the empathy they feel. Also: many autists suffer from hyper-empathy

So basically, every Russian I sent to die in Syria died for nothing. I remain a master strategist.
