I hope I’m wrong but this week feels like a dark inflection point for America. The tech bros have got their man on the presidential ticket. My piece for The Observer on the tech billionaires backing Trump. Welcome to the broligarchy. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Alexander Darwall, the landowner who tomorrow will challenge the public’s right to wild camp on Dartmoor at the Supreme Court, declares he’s a “custodian” of the moor. He also owns a pheasant shoot on the edge of a National Nature Reserve… theguardian.com/environment/20…
