Steyn on Culture
The Prisoner of Windsor
A remote fantastical kingdom far from Europe's chancelleries of power... An unpopular monarch on the eve of his coronation... A ruling class of plotters and would-be usurpers... ...and a gentleman adventurer on holiday. No, not Ruritania in the nineteenth century, but the United Kingdom in the twenty-first...
The War on Free Speech
The Cost of Candour
It could be worse. Mark could be banged up in Belmarsh like poor old Tommy. [UPDATE: more on the corrupt two-tier UK judiciary breaking now.] Today, Justice Farbey of the High Court in London ruled: 1) the costs demanded by Ofcom are to be sent for detailed assessment on the standard basis 2) there will be a payment on account of £50,000 by 19 November 2024 3) Costs of today to be paid by the Claimants, save in relation to the written submissions which will be paid at 50% Mark will have twenty-one days to consider an appeal. Ofcom had demanded £144,959.28, refused to provide detailed billing to justify that amount, and then twisted that to mock the actual harm they have caused Mark and Naomi Wolf: (Steyn's) post ad hoc attempt to downplay ...

So in addition to not being tired of winning, I also still feel a deep and palpable sense of relief. I think people are relieved that they can make fun of certain sacred transgendered cows, speak like normal humans about humans with penises in female bathrooms, and ridicule the cult of the pronoun freely.

Drowning not Waving: Spalding Gray and Swimming to Cambodia
On the 12th of April, 1975, the U.S. military put Operation Eagle Pull into effect, evacuating Americans and staff of the American embassy in Phnom Penh as well as Cambodians and third-party nationals by helicopter. Five days later the Khmer Rouge entered the capital, executed the members of the Cambodian government who remained behind and started evicting the population of the city, which included hundreds of thousands of refugees, to the countryside. Cambodia disappeared under a black cloud from which it would not reemerge until the end of the decade. On January 10th, 2004 the actor and writer Spalding Gray took his children to see Big Fish, Tim Burton's film about a dying man notorious for his fantastic, improbable stories. That evening ...
