I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Thankfully, Battistoni is still around, but lots of boutiques like this have closed over the years. In his brilliant book Swan Songs, Reginald-Jerome de Mans documents a rapidly disappearing world of craft-based Parisian menswear. Retailers such as Arnys, Old England, and A. Sulka have all closed.

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city. But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row. My piece for The Times.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Watched that Boris Johnson documentary last night in which he went into the "kill zone" in Ukraine. On the plus side he was warmly welcomed by service personnel putting their lives on the line. On the downside it was one of the most self serving, self mythologising bits of tv I've ever seen.
