This was so interesting Patrick, great to hear from one of the best in the business. I really liked 'life can be delish, with a sunny disposish', which it seems we have Ira Gershwin to thank for.

icym, I wrote a Guardian long read on the rise of "cuckooing", where drug gangs take over people's homes. It centres on the story of a friend whose home was taken over twice. The first time was grim, while the second sparked a fascinating friendship.

But isn’t this a common thing? Lots of big bands rely on setlist of old tunes at comeback gigs, which are not about ‘now’ but ‘then’.

You would think from the media and Trump’s aggression against Venezuela that cocaine use in the U.S. is booming. In fact unlike most of the world, it’s falling. My first for @san.com 👇
