My absolute favourite footage from any No Kings protest yesterday comes out of Atlanta - when a brass band showed up to drown out a Proud Boys confrontation by playing the Italian Antifa protest song, Bella Ciao.
The song, the girl dancing with the flag, the proud boys that clapped - chefs kiss 🤌🏼

On my recent annual review at work I was praised for always keeping a cool head, delegating tasks effectively and not micro-managing. The truth is it's because I'm lazy and I don't give a flying fuck about the work or anyone there.

In Auckland recently, my nephew introduced me to his girlfriend as ‘another aunt’, which made me feel rather Wodehousian and tweedy.
