"As the old saying has it, no city has ever erected a statue to a critic. But then few cities have erected statues to sewage engineers or prostate surgeons either. But they are useful, just as critics are"–Catherine Nixey on the lost art of the hatchet job https://t.co/Sbc1zmRxAd

Exciting personal news. Next month I am taking on a new position as Culture editor for ⁦@TheEconomist⁩. We’re hiring a new Culture correspondent too. I am biased, but it could be one of the most rollicking jobs in journalism. Apply! https://t.co/4TYpB2ljQH

Texas has one of the biggest economies in the world – larger than countries like Brazil, Australia, & Mexico.

What does that look like in practice, and is it all good news?

Powerful analysis, five years on from Parkland, about how many kids have been affected by gun violence in schools. 340k since 1999. Staggering and shameful. This is American exceptionalism at its worst. #guns #parkland https://t.co/1G5NhI2pIn
