Just ordered lunch from my local (cash only) cafe. Mentioned I was £2 short of ordering what I really wanted. 10 mins later my original choice arrived. "Just put £2 in the tip jar next time you come," said the proprietor. That's how you gain a loyal customer & that's why independent businesses rule.

I realize a historical analysis of global payments-clearing infrastructure may not sound like the most pulse-pounding read, but this is a really vital book for understanding how American power operates in the 21st century.

The reaction to this tweet on UK Twitter has informed me that London foxes are self domesticating.
We still have the Santa Cruz Island Fox if anyone wants a head start on domesticating a fox that has absolutely no fear of humans. I was ~4 feet from this guy when I took this, which is extraordinary for a fox.

NYPD has a RAPE kit that implicates Zampolli but he has diplomatic immunity. This is the man that worked the visa angle for Trump Models, Noah Models and Epstein

This is what makes the next general election so important. If the right takes power - Reform, Tory or a combination of both - our democracy goes up in smoke. The stakes really could not be higher.
This is a brilliant piece by @stephenkb.bsky.social. It makes clear what it is now at stake in UK politics. My one quibble is with the idea of a "big and important struggle on the British right today". I think that struggle has already happened and MAGA-style nationalist populism won.

These “concentration camps” are also where many people of modest means go on holiday every year: butlins, pontins, etc.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
