I launched my History Never Ended Substack on the eve of the Iran war. It’s now the primary home for my writing. I hope people will give it a look and considering subscribing. All the content is free. open.substack.com/pub/historynev…

Is there any grown up in the White House? Is there any understanding of the seriousness and horror of war? This is frat house not White House.

“There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen,” is it often said. Perhaps we should amend that. There are weekends when decades happen. And the past 48 hours have been about much more than Iran. My longread connecting some dots. historyneverended.substack.com/p/a-weekend-wh…

@NickBryantNY Fantastic looking forward to reading it.

Welcome to my new Substack History Never Ended, my attempt to make sense of the chaotic tumble of US and world events. I hope you'll read my introduction letter. The content is all free. historyneverended.substack.com/p/history-neve…

@NickBryantNY @KattyKay_ @jonsopel Fantastic show today, as always. Loved it.

@WestHam_Central You know it!

It's gonna be us, isn't it?

@NickBryantNY A brilliant book.

There’s an unexpectedly long history of American authoritarianism - a primer

@NickBryantNY Such a good read. Brilliant book

The updated edition of The Forever War - with chapters on Trump 2.0 and the 2024 campaign - is out in time for Father’s Day.

@WestHam_Central 11

How many signings do we need?

@WestHam_Central 3 points off the top at the moment though!!

Irons. We may not move.

BACK TO THE FUTURE was released 40 years ago today. One of the most beloved movies of the 1980s, and the film that made Michael J. Fox a movie star, the behind the scenes story is pretty heavy… 1/45

@COYIronscom At least we’re not Tottenham

West Ham Premier League wins since January 1st 2024: David Moyes - 4 wins in 19 games Julen Lopetegui - 6 wins in 20 games Graham Potter - 3 wins in 12 games

He’s right.

Just finished reading @NickBryantNY ’s Forever War. Is a brilliant book highlighting how the America of today has always been there bubbling away under the surface. If you have a vague interest in America or are an avid US historian, this is book is well worth a read.I loved it!

@westhamfootball Lee Carsley

Who would you prefer to manage West Ham if the head coach position becomes vacant?

Bump it if you want the McPoyles in season 17 🤜

As we wake up to horrible news about the HateMango, let's just use Kip's coping strategy which was broadcast to the world four years ago today. #smellypantswee @kermodeandmayo @simonmayo #TeamKip
