If they could stop promoting Substack that would be even bettterer.
Honestly, if more journalists stop writing history books, I'd consider that a win.

In the local park where I’m currently walking, a dog has just grabbed a random person’s umbrella and run off with it. The umbrella owner, the dog’s owners and a load of kids have given chase, and it’s the closest I’ll get to seeing a dog with a string of sausages being chased by a butcher isn’t it?
