The Panama Papers was really weird because it's all I heard journalists talk about for a while but I never heard ordinary people mention them, it was a tremendous amount of work but it didn't cut through
Probably because it wasn't really revelatory? - a cynical person would fully expect that

I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

My big task for today was to file my US taxes, can't do it because the whole thing is so unfathomably complicated.
That $150 check that NY State sent to my address in London? Taxable. Damned if I know how to declare it on my federal taxes.

I think it would be so revelatory having a camera in my car because I literally just realised that I had actually said this out loud:
What are you doing?.... What are you ...are you going? What are you do-oh, you're going there, would've helped if you'd indicated but yeah thanks have a nice day

Have I raved about how good keratin hair treatments are? I cannot remember BUT my hair is so soft, it dries (more or less straight) in 5 mins, is super shiny, looks great and is extremely easy to manage.
Cons are: it's expensive

I'm in a nice ish Italian restaurant and the woman at the door basically didn't want to let me in?

Ok so I have just been reminded of the best museum (collection?) I've ever been to. It's in western Canada. In the 50s this artist decided to make cement sculptures of animals and cartoons and she bought some land where she could put them on display.
It's all very charming, except...

Grief is seeing a small mess in a weird location that was made only because you had a cat, and not wanting to clean it up because every time you see it, it reminds you of him. And you don't want to forget him or how much you loved him. 💔

Stella Carlson had no way of knowing that she would soon watch a man die — or that her video of that fatal incident would serve as a crucial counter to the Trump administration's initial efforts to paint Alex Pretti as a wannabe assassin or domestic terrorist. https://cnn.it/4riaBXa

My mum: where have you put (taxidermied mouse)?
Me: oh just on the kitchen surface*. But I guess I should move it because I might have viewings soon?
My mum: yes, put it in your bedroom!
Me: oh right so when people come in they go "oh cool this crazy woman sleeps with a dead mouse next to her"!?
