Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns.
They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings.
That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

LeGuin wrote about the desire for 'unassailable safety' as one of the deep roots of evil, and I think about that a lot.
We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

It's very fun to toggle between David Brooks insisting that liberals have rigid litmus tests for art and that's what killed the big ambitious novel, and every conservative commentator screaming at the top of their lungs that they refuse to see the Superman movie because of WOKE.

Novak Djokovic is basically a tech billionaire. He’s more successful in his field than anyone to ever live but he’s still livid that people don’t like him, and he can’t stop making it our problem

One of the most common mistakes in casting TV shows is to go with an actor who isn’t right for the role, simply because (s)he is a “known quantity,” while ignoring a much better option who is not.
In unrelated news, Andrew Cuomo is running for mayor of NY, and he sucks.
