"It is one of the oldest tricks in the authoritarian playbook: aesthetic first, policy second." This is very thorough and extremely troubling & exactly why historians of the 20th century like Guy here have a part to plat in our current moment.

Ten years ago, inspired by the return of my childhood interest in birds, I set myself a target: see 200 British species in a year. The result was this book. Through 2026 Iâll be revisiting it, month by month. If you want to join me, just subscribe to my newsletter.

To celebrate International Menâs Day, I will be making a sincere and heartfelt work of art about the impossibility of sane work-life balance in patriarchal capitalism, and it will be a cross between The Sopranos and The Incredibles, and therefore exactly the same as both.
