City leader John Lee, along with senior ministers and dozens of top civil servants, stood in silence for three minutes on Saturday morning outside the government headquarters, where the flags of China and Hong Kong were flown at half-mast. Continue reading...

US regulators ‘taking seriously’ allegations of bankers’ support for Epstein
Exclusive: It follows calls from US senator Elizabeth Warren to investigate bank executives including ex-Barclays boss Jes Staley

In correspondence seen by the Guardian, bosses from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) said they had reviewed a letter from the Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren, which raised concerns over bankers’ alleged support for the convicted child sex offender Epstein.

Yuki onna is a fearful #yokai appearing on snowy winter nights. She glides across the snow with her blue lips and transparent skin. Her icy gaze can be deadly and she will suck the life force out of you and leave you to die in the snow.

Hay soon expands the show’s roster to include banjo and guitar players. He begins calling it “Grand Ole Opry” in 1927 at first as a joke, because so much radio content at the time is high-toned. The phrase sticks and will come to describe not just a show but an institution. 4/4

"There is a twinkle in his eye, which is of course not an unusual characteristic, in view of the fact that there are a number of people in this world with twinkles in their eyes"
For about a month the only performers on the show are Thompson, “one of the quaintest characters radio has yet discovered,” and his niece Eva Thompson Jones on his piano. Their Saturday night playing draws favorable notice and fan mail from much of the country. 2/4
