I was delighted to see one of my favourite science writers, Stuart Ritchie, join substack. As ever we always welcome suggestions for topics or other ways we can improve our offer either in the comments or by email.
NYC BLACK TOP GAY TWITTER HOW TO
I’ll be reviewing the local elections next week and then picking up some topics that go broader than UK politics, including the nature of “authenticity” in politicians and what it tells us and a guide on how to get the best out of twitter (whether Elon buys it or not). He will also be doing another set of live Q+A for paid subscribers on Tuesday 17th May at 8pm UK time.
Next month the commentary on the war will continue and Dad will look at some of the broader strategic themes emerging.
As well as a preview of tomorrow’s local elections (I can only apologise to non-UK subscribers for that one, which I imagine, if you tried to read it all, was completely baffling). I also did a couple of posts on the deep-seated problems with British policy-making, and complained about the endless cries of “dead cat!” in our political debate. I have looked at the far-right in Europe, both in terms of Marine Le Pen’s election chances (thankfully that prediction turned out to be right) and the wider rise of similar politicians across the continent. Last week he looked at the risks of Russia lashing out as it struggles to gain a military advantage. This month Dad has continued to focus on the Russo-Ukraine war. This is a monthly post Sam writes to update on the substack link to favourite pieces and review a recommended book.
