JUN 6 will go down in my personal history as the first time in 2025 that the news made me smile.
Like countless other non-billionaires that day, I had watched, my glee and eyebrows reaching increasing heights, as two billionaires slagged each other off on social media in an intermittently all-caps brawl that culminated gloriously in a since-deleted post name-checking a paedophile.
Even as our incredulity about how billionaires conduct themselves has soared this year, our regard for them has never been lower, it seems.
