Was sent this bit of news overnight. "Irish mafia" arrested in Colombia, during Clan del Golfo raids. Eagle-eyed readers of @newyorker.com will note that Clan del Golfo has recently worked with the Kinahan group.

A rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during a mass stabbing on a train has been named as Samir Zitouni.
The 48-year-old's actions on the Doncaster to London King's Cross service on Saturday evening were described as "nothing short of heroic".

Up And Then Down Late on a Friday night, Nicholas White got stuck on an elevator in a nearly empty office building.

So fun to write this short tribute to a classic @newyorker.com story: Up and then Down, by Nick Paumgarten.
www.newyorker.com/magazine/tak...

But don't read that read the original. It's about eight thousand words long and it will make your day better.
