Spewing hate makes money. It doesn't make you loved or respected, and nor does it add to the sum of human happiness. But it can make you hard cash and you can pop the kids through private school and drive an expensive car and live in a nice house. And frankly fuck anyone who is so shallow.

The European response to the #Ceuta crisis will go down in history as an own goal that emboldened Europe’s adversaries. Instead of showing solidarity, Italy & co sought to punish it. Now, with the vast majority of arrivals already returned, the failure wasn’t border control but European solidarity.

I have a modest proposal for a new tax. It involves a deck of cards and a monkey throwing darts. Here are the rules:

In case you're counting, the planet is now on day 6 reaching a global surface temperature above 17.0°C. The only other years reaching 17.0°C since records began in 1940, and likely in the last 120,000 years, were 2023 and 2024. Next year will be much hotter.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
