Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

of course people voted for that, it's Dune. you've invented Dune!

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

At this point....
It's game over

Japan cherry blossom festival cancelled because of unruly tourist ‘crisis’ Authorities scrap Arakurayama Sengen park cherry blossom festival near Mount Fuji because of tourists trespassing, littering and ‘defecating in private yards’

Well this is a first..and it annoys the hell out of me that tourists to the country don't know how to behave. Cherry Blossom season in Japan is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

I moved to pre-gentrified Clapton in 2001 at the height of Murder Mile, and walked past Chimes on NYE just before a shooting. I still live in the area. The social media simpletons from elsewhere who think London is worse now need to take a long walk off a short pier #C4news

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

Ten Years.
