- A Sunday plug urging you to catch up with the pod as this week's show is very close to a nice round number of downloads:
- NEW EPISODE OF THE ABUNDANCE AGENDA! + What Tony Blair ACTUALLY SAID about fossil fuels + How Abundance won WW2 + We speak to the author of the controversial Tony Blair Institute paper Listen on Apple, Spotify, or Substack: www.abundancepod.com/p/what-tony-...
- The trenchant political analysis will resume shortly but first, here is Hashtag doing a blep.
- I concede that I fell for this, so this is a useful corrective.
- The “international travel to the U.S. is taking a dive because of Trump” story turns out to be mostly about Easter falling later this year (though there’s something to it for Canada). Important to keep confirmation bias in check. (Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)
- I’ve been to this and it is enjoyably mad. Particularly like the new version of the Last Supper where the artist has added a small dog.
- If you were hoping to visit the Sistine Chapel this week but can't because some pesky Papal Conclave is using it at the moment -- did you know the world's only handpainted replica is in the UK? www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/the...
