This piece is fascinating!

it’s weirdly fortuitous that the FT Magazine just happened to run a brilliant deep dive into James Orr yesterday morning, hours before the scandal broke: www.ft.com/content/c2d0...

As good a magazine story as you’ll read this year.

In the fifth year after the full-scale invasion, Ukraine is under ever-more devastating drone and missile attacks. For @newyorker.com, I flew with a Ukrainian stunt pilot who--with a crew of other daredevils--now hunts Shaheds from an old skydiving plane. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

It has been a while since I've read a "long read" at The New Yorker that engrossed me like this one just did. I tried to find a pull quote from it to entice you, but was faced with choice overload as there were so many; this is a fascinating story *very* well told. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I loved this book.

The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social

At long last, the cover launch of my debut novel PRESTIGE DRAMA is here! It's a funny, angry book about Derry, history, memory and Troubles-scented television. I think it's quite good, however I can *confirm* that it's quite short. And you can pre-order it everywhere NOW: geni.us/Prestige_Drama

Gutted to hear of the death of Tracy Kidder, who was a hero of mine. I adored Mountains Beyond Mountains and Strength In What Remains. His prose was clean, gorgeous, and buttressed by thousands of hours of reporting. He was drawn to human goodness. RIP.

As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played (Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)

Putin is making Russia small again: ”Our model suggests that Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead. That would mean one in 25 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 49 may have been killed or severely wounded since the start of the full-scale war.”
