2 w. ago ‘I like making people do a double take’: Darren Soh’s best phone picture

By rotating the picture 180 degrees, the photographer produced an abstract image of the Potong Pasir housing estate in SingaporeOne morning, Darren Soh drove to the Potong Pasir housing estate in Singapore to take some photos. His initial focus was on the buildings themselves: the government-built blocks, dating from 1984, are characterised by their ski slope-style roofs.“We only get two kinds of weather in Singapore – rainy and overcast, or sunny and warm,” Soh says. “This day was in the latter category.

The right wants American women to bear more children and withdraw from full participation in societyLast month, the White House issued a proposed budget to Congress that completely eliminated funding for Head Start, the six-decade-old early childhood education program for low-income families that serves as a source of childcare for large swaths of the American working class.The funding was restored in the proposed budget after an outcry, but large numbers of employees who oversee the program at the office of Head Start were laid off in a budget-slashing measure under Robert F Kennedy Jr, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
