Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

I wish people would stop telling me I speak excellent French because it’s very clear from my conversations with builders that I really don’t.

Being able to translate Proust beautifully is not the skill I needed, it turns out.

A Shiba Inu came into the shop today, and I am now over chihuahuas. What a tail! And such a sweet smile.

First hot yoga class since pre pandemic. Actually, first yoga class for too long. Squeeze into my kit, realise need new kit. Can’t find grippy towel. Fighting urge to just crawl back into bed.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

Real risk for Labour that this accelerates their abandonment by progressive voters, because it shows Greens can win

Green vote trebled from 2024. Labour vote halved

Greens will claim this establishes them as the progressive party to stop Reform in England

(as Plaid claim in Wales post-Caerphilly)

The Green Party has more democratically elected MPs than Reform, who have managed to elect 5 MPs on their mandate. The rest are defectors.

Looking forward to balanced visibility of this in the media. πŸ™„

Why do people even bother giving you a β€˜time slot’ for when they are going to turn up that is 9am to 4pm. Dude, that’s a day not a time slot. You’re turning up at some point during the day.

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

Finally, someone has said this out loud.

At the rate I’m accumulating DVDs, I will be able to have my own personal Blockbuster in my cellier when I move to France.

For some reason, the Guardian is still not mentioning Paul’s remarkable book. Therefore I’m yet again providing a link to it!

They arrested him on his BIRTHDAY. That’s just pure British coldness.

The only part of this that doesn’t bring joy is he’s been arrested for passing on state info, not for being a nonce.
