I had a lovely time with Dave Eggers in San Rafael yesterday. A lovely crowd came out and laughed. Stig came too! Thank you everybody - a wonderful afternoon. I’m now reading Dave’s magnificent new book - Contrapposto.

They told us to “go paperless to save the planet” and “go digital to save the trees.” Now we’re destroying 250,000 trees, wasting millions of gallons of water and wrecking ecosystems to build data centers that will damage the planet more than paper ever did.

Noch ein Schnappschuss, als der russische Außenbordkanister Lawrow in Atlanta zum G20-Gipfel eintraf. Diesen 31. Oktober wird er wohl niemals vergessen. Nicht wegen Halloween, sondern weil er bei einem G20-Treffen nicht nur eine demütigende diplomatische Zurechtweisung erhielt. Britische Regierungsvertreter haben ihn wegen des brutalen Krieges Russlands gegen die Ukraine zur Rede gestellt, Putin der Aggression bezichtigt und die russischen Drohnenangriffe auf ukrainische Zivilisten verurteilt haben. Die Botschaft war unmissverständlich: Der Mut der Ukraine ist nach wie vor außergewöhnlich, die europäische Unterstützung wird fortgesetzt, und Russland darf seinen Krieg nicht durch Öl- und Gaseinnahmen finanzieren. Die endgültige Demütigung kam, als sich die europäischen Minister weigerten, gemeinsam mit ihm für das traditionelle G20-Familienfoto zu posieren. Nachdem er aufgrund von Flugbeschränkungen für russische Flugzeuge mehr als 20 Stunden unterwegs gewesen war, sah sich Lawrow isoliert, öffentlich verurteilt und unwillkommen.

I'm still pushing for a Nobel Prize for the Voyager team. Outlasted its mission by 45 years and counting. Incredible.

Sergei Lavrov is very surprised and disappointed by the outcome of the G20 meeting: "No one is afraid anymore, nor does anyone believe the stories told by this Russian Goebbels."

France is showing the world what real accountability looks like. Paris prosecutors have launched a major criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s X, raided its Paris offices and summoned Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino for questioning. The allegations are staggering, political manipulation through algorithms, child sexual abuse material, sexually explicit deepfakes generated by Grok without consent, Holocaust denial, unlawful data extraction and election interference. While Musk parades around pretending to be a defender of free speech, his platform faces allegations involving the exploitation of children, the sexual abuse of women through AI-generated imagery, the manipulation of political discourse and threats to democratic elections. Bravo, France! This is what standing up to billionaire arrogance looks like. Democracy is not a billionaire's personal playground, social media platforms are not above the law, and Elon Musk does not get to buy himself immunity from accountability. France is making it clear that the rule of law still matters, and the rest of the democratic world should be paying attention.

A sweet mum moment. Randomly flicked on the telly during a writing break to find my lovely son, Jules, in Midsummer Murders with Tom Conti. If only more TV producers would think outside the neurotypical box & cast idiosyncratic actors like Jules in a wider range of roles. #Autism

Treason!
Elon Musk is now directly providing internet to Russia in service of their illegal war against Ukraine. Elon Musk is a traitor and should be treated as a traitor, SpaceX should be shuttered, nobody associated with SpaceX should ever get a clearance.

🇷🇺 Putin has lost touch with reality. His advisers fear the ageing leader cares more about his ego than Russia’s interests. Russia has suffered over 300,000 deaths, mass youth emigration, and thousands of soldiers killed every month. Record corporate bankruptcies, historic deficit, and economic stagnation. Everyone in Moscow knows Russia cannot conquer Ukraine. Everyone except Putin. Business leaders and politicians who have spoken out have been removed from their positions. Putin is driving Russia into the abyss.

🚨​Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology. They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her. ​She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance. The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others. ​We need justice, accountability, and answers. ​#HoustonPolice #PoliceAccountability #JusticeForHer #MedicalWorkers #CivilRights #HPD 🎥Sedrick Baldwin

October 23: Democrat Heidi Kuhn, a candidate for the U.S. House from Tennessee, gets into a serious car crash in Memphis. Broken nose, fractured upper jaw, whiplash. October 24: Mary Peltola, the Democratic candidate in one of Alaska’s key Senate races, is involved in a car crash with her family on the way to a campaign event. Another vehicle hits theirs. Peltola needs medical attention, and part of her campaign schedule has to be canceled. October 31: Chris Murphy, one of the most prominent Democrats on the national stage and a potential 2028 presidential candidate, suddenly suffers a stroke at 53. And then there’s Marcy Kaptur, the Ohio Democrat who was hospitalized in August after a hit-and-run crash. What the fuck is going on?

Tucker Carlson has brutally trolled Trump 🤣 🇺🇸Trump YESTERDAY: "I am the most powerful man on the globe." 🇺🇸Tucker TODAY: "Nah, Idiot. Real leaders resist outside control. You caves. You will say one thing in the morning, and by evening he’s saying something else. So you are weak and unstable." Absolute brutal by him 👏🔥

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she has a message for Trump: “I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for six years for. And I gave him my loyalty for free.” “Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.”
