Fire, wind, desert, and fire screening in Southern California – this is a truly local (US) matter.
Unherd, once firmly rooted in a distinct British perspective, now feels as though it has lost its sense of place. The expansion into new editorial areas, particularly with a heavy American focus, has made the platform feel disconnected from any specific location. As a European, it’s hard not to notice how the growing prominence of U.S.-centric content suggests we’re now living in a world shaped primarily by American influences.
The platform’s former clarity and focus have given way to a broader, less defined experience, which feels less relevant — even somewhat problematic.

This guy is tiresome – blathering on without any useful points. It’s like he doesn’t want to have an opinion to defend.
