Tech billionaire Marc Benioff says Trump should deploy National Guard to San Francisco
Marc Benioff has become the latest Silicon Valley tech leader to signal his approval of President Trump, saying that the president is doing a great job and ought to deploy the National Guard to deal with crime in San Francisco. “We don’t have enough cops, so if they [National Guard] can be cops, I’m all for it,” he told the New York Times from aboard his private plane. AdvertisementThe National Guard is generally not allowed to perform domestic law enforcement duties when federalized by the president. Benioff’s call to send National Guard troops to San Francisco drew sharp rebukes from several of the region’s elected Democratic leaders. Gavin Newsom, who vociferously opposed the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, did not issue a comment in response to Benioff.

Join The Sunday Times Get Britain Reading campaign
The Sunday Times has today launched a campaign to Get Britain Reading as new data shows that people of all ages now read social media posts more often than books. However, they were far more likely to “very much enjoy” reading print books than social media (45 per cent versus 23 per cent). Reading is tragically in decline, and with it we’re losing the ability to concentrate, to think deeply, and the joy of getting lost in another world … That’s why The Sunday Times’ Get Britain Reading campaign is so important.”Why we’re launching the Get Britain Reading campaign, by the editor Do you miss the thrill of getting stuck into a wonderful book? That is why The Sunday Times today launches our campaign to Get Britain Reading again.

In This Pageant, the Ugliest Face Wins
Adrian Zivelonghi crossed his eyes, stretched his lower lip over the tip of his nose and revealed his twisted face to a panel of judges, who meticulously scrutinized each contortion. Then came his clincher: The 58-year-old odd-jobs man popped out his dentures and wiggled them in his mouth, triggering a roar of approval from the audience. The facial gymnastics — known as “gurning” — are the focus of the World Gurning Championships, a reverse beauty pageant of sorts and an ancient tradition in the town of Egremont, in northern England’s Lake District. The rules are simple, if odd. Competitors must make their face through a horse collar, known locally as a “baffin.” They are not allowed to use their hands, artificial aids or excessive makeup.

The joy of Bookbanks, the charity bringing books to food banks
We might be at a literary festival, but in fact we’re at a food bank in northeast London, where eager readers have just collected emergency food parcels. AdvertisementHolly started coming to the food bank two years ago when she needed help and now volunteers there herself. “If Bookbanks wasn’t here, obviously the food bank would still run but you would notice, you would feel it. £1,500 could cover the set-up costs for Bookbanks to open in a new food bank. It costs, on average, £500 per month to run a weekly two-hour Bookbanks stall inside a food bank.
