I just took Big Ben for granted for years, but tonight, for some reason, I looked at it more lovingly.

Lest we forget....

Very moving 'Last Post' from Spurs v Manchester United on Saturday.

Having watched The Choral in the cinema last night, it is even more poignant.

Saw this great book at The Geffen Contemporary gift shop at MOCA in Los Angeles. My favorite recipe was “Bread Crumb.”

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

America - y'all need to read this book right now, especially members of Congress and those in the White House. (If you have to watch the film, read the book first).

Absolutely nuts
Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet.

What about "bleet"?

Gifting this as it perfectly sums up what's going on. The FT seems to be about the only voice of reason left in these bizarre times.

This is absolutely not going to help market confidence..I would see this as the US market top for now. Be careful out there.
