Arguing that charging for parking benefits a city in many ways, because the space near the curb gets made available for better uses and people use cars less.

To make this truly beneficial, the city has to have copious mass transit. Buses must be frequent enough that the precise schedule is of no importance.

Thugs in the Oklahoma City jail tortured prisoners by making them stand for hours, as well as other methods.

Playing the baby shark song probably won't cause the same physical pain and damage that standing for hours can cause. But if they play it too loud, it could damage the victim's hearing.

A summary of what is known about the Ethiopia-Tigray war.

Some questions that occur to me:

• Who is forbidding journalists from the front? Is it Ethiopia? If so, how come Tigray doesn't help them get in? Does Tigray also want to exclude them? Is Ethiopia blockading Tigray?
• Likewise, what stops humanitarian relief from reaching Tigray?
• If Ethiopia is blockading Tigray, how is it maintaining the blockade against Tigray's forces, which are defeating Ethiopia's forces in Amhara?
• How come Tigray has no radio communications with the outside world?
• Why is Ethiopia so weak, militarily?

Bogus Johnson will avoid the issue of the gift holiday he got from a rich Tory by not officially declaring it.

Macron’s ex-bodyguard got a light sentence (no prison time) for attacking protesters.
