The safest places I've lived, ranked by how safe I felt living in them:

1. Sierra Madre, CA
2. Georgetown, D.C.
3. Sydney, NSW
4. Manhattan, NY
Notable crime ridden... Georgetown? WTF?
FBI, DEA and other law enforcement recorded in Georgetown walking around

Nice feature of a new series by one of my favorite photographers, Jeff Bark:

Requiem for a “Drunk Dad”
Jeff Bark’s elaborately composed scenes channel sundered American fantasies. They also function as personal folklore.

He once told me how he would drive his truck wearing a construction vest and hard hat he'd bought and just drive up the freeways under construction and no one would question why he was there photographing them. Those photos will always be iconic.

RIP.

The US team will be the only one not detained by ICE, so they win be default.
So uh... how exactly is America going to host the World Cup next year with all these travel and immigration restrictions?
