    Excited to announce the paperback publication of my book The Last Job, featuring “The Bad Grandpas” behind Britain’s most audacious jewel heist. The Economist called it an “entertaining” caper that “provides a rich slice of London’s East End underworld.” Quarantine escapism!

    Changing your mind doesn't mean you've abandoned your principles. It may mean you've learned something. It's better to contradict yourself and be accused of hypocrisy than to stick to your guns and sacrifice your integrity. The hallmark of integrity is honesty, not consistency.

    They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Gets shot, can’t stop speechifying.

    Great piece by in today's weekly Canada Letter on the eternal language issue in Quebec. Very balanced, fair and discerning, not only by a resident correspondent but one who grew up in Montreal. Kudos.

    A polarizing new language bill in Quebec brings back memories of culture wars in Montreal in the late 1970s and 1980s, writes correspondent in this week’s Canada Letter.

    A golden steak sounds so gross, never mind the price tag.

    They had ordered a Golden Tomahawk - an £850 steak covered in gold leaf - and 16 Nusret Baklava's - a traditional Turkish dessert typically served with Matei Radulescu, a Turkish ice cream - for a total of £400 🍨 📷: Instagram/nusr_et

    via Excellent piece from ⁦⁩ who is getting the same 70’s vibe from this latest language flap as I am. And I’m not sure I can do another of these. Great read from Dan on the mood of it.

    This is so wistful. A beautiful soul, a Canadian who attracted a global cult following for his epic bike journeys, dies at 33.

    The meteoric rise of Éric Zemmour, an anti-immigrant author and far-right TV pundit, is disrupting what was supposed to be a rematch for France's presidential election and revealing that voters are deeply dissatisfied and starved for fresh alternatives.
