Nowhere on Earth will you see a greater biomass of Chihuahuas than in Mexico City. In recent years, though, two Mexican animals are giving the tiny trembler a run for its money in Mexican art and design: xoloitzcuintle and this adorable lil fecker on 50-peso notes: the axolotl (aka el ajolote).

Detail from a 50 peso Mexican bank note depicting an axolotl. The accompanying text reads:

Ecosistema de ríos y lagos, con el ajolote y el maíz, en Xochimilco en la Ciudad de México, patrimonio cultural de la humanidad. [The river-and-lake ecosystem of Xochimilco, Mexico City, with the axolotl and maize, cultural heritage of humanity.]

NEW The diabolical defending of Manchester City Understanding an aggressive litigation strategy By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk (Prospect paywall is down currently.) www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th... #MCFC

What can explain such an aggressive and counterproductive approach? To an extent the answer may be in the facts and the evidence. Perhaps the view was that the only chance of getting out of this was to be unhelpful as well as robust. In respect of an earlier dispute with Uefa, an internal communication at the club apparently said “Uefa doesn't respond to anything other than aggression”. Maybe the view was taken that this would work here too. Maybe the club still thinks it will work in the end, with the league being pushed into settlement on appeal or at the doors of the High Court.

But this does not offer a total explanation. What may work with Uefa may not work with other adversaries. The structure of the league’s investigation and the disciplinary approach meant that aggression would not only be unhelpful, but would count heavily against the club. An appeal on the law or procedure at the High Court in this sort of case only has a remote chance of success. It can be assumed the club was warned of all this.

There is a phrase in football punditry that “the defending is diabolical”. Here diabolical is, of course, a synonym for dreadful. But in its more literal sense, diabolical means bedevilled with wrongful purpose. And the strategy adopted by Manchester City in contesting this matter is also in this sense diabolical. The club will have known that it was unlikely to work, and that it would make things harder, but the club decided to do it anyway.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The rape was reported to the university but not the police. Where is the university's duty of care? They should have reported it. This is not some schoolyard tiff.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

The FT runs an explainer on El Niño in which it drily tells us that scientists don’t typically use the classifier ‘Godzilla’ El Niño www.ft.com/content/c411...

What is a 'Godzilla' El Niño?
Some observers have referred to the upcoming El Niño as "super" or "Godzilla".
James Hansen, an American climatologist, has called this year's phenomenon "super-duper"
Scientists typically do not classify the event in such terms. The WMO's preferred

My controversial opinion of the day is that I think people who ride on public transport, unmasked and gross, when they are sick, should be charged with assault. If you knowingly expose other people to injury (when I get respiratory infections it sets ke back MONTHS) you should be sanctioned.
