No politics whatsoever in this short talk I gave lately to the #AmericanPrecision #Museum in #Windsor, Vermont. It might offer you a little respite from all the sturm und drang going on outside - and the APM is a truly wonderful organisation.

Busy day ahead. 1030am in Norfolk, CT, interviewing on stage the great publisher and author #MichaelKorda, then at 430pm in New Marlborough, MA, the equally distinguished Supreme Court writer #LindaGreenhouse. Then a promised good dinner. Late rising on Sunday, with any luck.

My #Hangul is somewhat rusty, but this #Korean edition of my most recent book, just published in #Seoul looks elegant and tempting, so I wish it well in bookstores from #Jeju to the #DMZ, and everywhere in between.
Great advertisements of your book, Knowing What We Know, showing up in Korea for the Korean language edition @simonwwriter

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies. " A sad day: two dear friends of many years died. Pip Rau - Londoners may recall her Islington shop Rau, selling Afghan treasures - & the formidable Lewis Lapham, late of #Harper's and LQ. When life looks briefly better, this. .

It beggars belief that a person so entirely misguided and wanting in common sense as this person should have ever won prominence in US politics. She makes Marjorie Taylor Greene look like an intellectual. May Biden step down, a new candidate win, and sweep these ruffians away.
This is how it's done. This should be required viewing for the American press -- who are still engaging in bothsidesism, balance over objectivity, and false equivalencies. This is how you conduct an interview with a serial lying sociopath like Kari Lake.

Dear old Britain, I miss you so. But wait - did the train leave on time; did it arrive at all? Nationalise our trains! Restore British Railways! Then I’ll come home.
This is rather wonderful. One of Wales's new MPs being sent to Westminster serenaded by a choir of supporters. 🏴

If you have a spare few moments, you might care to dip into this chat I had with the great Phillip Adams, who retires in a very few days. He is one of Australia's deservedly best-beloved figures, and I am flattered that he included me on his final roster.
