I launched my History Never Ended Substack on the eve of the Iran war. It’s now the primary home for my writing. I hope people will give it a look and considering subscribing. All the content is free.

Is there any grown up in the White House? Is there any understanding of the seriousness and horror of war? This is frat house not White House.

“There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen,” is it often said.
Perhaps we should amend that. There are weekends when decades happen. And the past 48 hours have been about much more than Iran. My longread connecting some dots.

BACK TO THE FUTURE was released 40 years ago today. One of the most beloved movies of the 1980s, and the film that made Michael J. Fox a movie star, the behind the scenes story is pretty heavy…

Just finished reading @NickBryantNY ’s Forever War. Is a brilliant book highlighting how the America of today has always been there bubbling away under the surface. If you have a vague interest in America or are an avid US historian, this is book is well worth a read.I loved it!

As we wake up to horrible news about the HateMango, let's just use Kip's coping strategy which was broadcast to the world four years ago today.
#smellypantswee @kermodeandmayo @simonmayo #TeamKip – at Birmingham, England
On last week's show, @edfreshwater & his son Kip introduced us to a new coping strategy for when times are really not alright.
Join us today from 2:30pm @bbc5live for more of your messages, movie witterings and maybe even a few good, cathartic shouts of "smelly pants wee".

This is astounding, shocking behaviour from the club. Greed at its finest. Elderly that have supported this club for their lives & youngsters that’ll be the next generation priced completely out.
Disgrace, sort it West Ham, embarrassing,

I hate the notion that Saka "redeemed" himself. He's done that repeatedly for years, had already scored the goal that kept England in the game, and in any case he didn't need to redeem himself - he's a diamond and everyone misses a penalty occasionally.

🗣 Declan Rice on returning to the London Stadium and scoring against us last month:
"It was so tough. We lost in the cup to them. We lost in the league at the Emirates; I didn't play well and gave away a penalty. The West Ham fans bantered me and I can 100% take that; I played for West Ham for 10 years and I know how they work. When I went over to take the corner, there were a few boos, but there were claps as well.
I know my love for them has never changed; their love for me has never changed. It is one of those things where you move on. Obviously I scored a great goal, it was really odd. Even speaking about it now, it is weird. A lot of the lads asked me afterwards: 'how does it feel?' It was a bittersweet feeling, really odd.
I always said I would never celebrate against West Ham and I don't think I ever will. They made me who I am. I spent 10 years there; I owe them a lot. I would never ever celebrate; I think that would be really disrespectful. Overall, it was a really good day to win and to score, but a bittersweet feeling."

Such generous words! Thank you very much @raybradbury4511; authors always love to hear such feedback. I'm delighted you enjoyed 'The Invisible', which I wrote to be something more unique in the crime genre. Glad it is finding such an appreciate audience! 🇬🇷📕 @maclehosepress
@peteplastic just finished The Invisible and it's like no crime fiction I'd read before! A wonderfully vivid, intelligent and sensitive portrayal of NW Greece, its place, history and people. Thank you!

Phew! Wonderful, Ian. So pleased you dug "The Pit"!
#141 finished. Bob decides to a crime he committed 30yrs ago, Sparrow hears this & agrees to travel to the crime scene with him. What follows is a roadtrip to a crime scene. A beautifully written story of prejudice, love & redemption. Terrific read @peteplastic
