Doppio Zero might not look like much from the outside, and it doesn’t pop up on many pizza rankings or best-of lists — but it really, really should

The talk of Frank constantly bringing up Arsenal is brilliant, of course, but my favourite part of the reporting is his inability to have a Sp*rs squad with "no dickheads"

Popped up on the Vergecast this week to talk about you-know-what

The Verge news editor @dompreston.com got an exclusive look at the T1 Phone from two executives on the Trump Mobile team. The ultimate question is whether this phone will be fully made in the USA. Short answer? No. Read more: www.theverge.com/gadgets/8751...

I don’t truly eat seasonally half as often as I’d like to, or feel I should. But every once in a while I manage it, this time spurred by a pink pop of forced rhubarb in a Yorkshire market

To the tune of 'This is America':

In case you missed it, I joined @willsattelberg.bsky.social from 9to5Google on this week's Sideload podcast, to chat CES, Trump Mobile, and a little about @braise.substack.com too

I broke out of London a couple weeks back for a weekend in York, and am very glad I found the time for dinner at Los Moros, a north African restaurant that feels charmingly casual - though the food is anything but

Google has hinted its take on Android for PC is ready to arrive this year, but the real rollout may be later - and messier - than that

Hard to believe Chelsea's cunning strategic decision to spend half the game not trying to score when they were a goal behind somehow didn't pay off

KAI HAVERTZ YOU ARE PERFECT

The Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins has opened applications for its food systems journalism fellowship this year. I'm part of the current crop, and can definitely recommend it if you're an early career food writer, or looking to add it to your repertoire like I was

Wrote a little thing about how phone manufacturers have all decided that telephoto lenses are their best hope of making their flagships stand out

I just want Tottenham to win today and I feel miserable. Imagine wanting them to win every week

I'm afraid Loaf wasn't entirely sold on the rhubartini, though I thought it came out rather well: equal parts vodka and rhubarb syrup, shaken over ice

It happens to everyone eventually: I've been ghosted, but this time by a Trump Mobile exec

Our next free daily article comes from @dompreston.com: The ‘crisp and refreshing’ protein drink is a sign of a company running out of time to turn it around.

Elon is THIS close to inventing the first rocket that produces CSAM

Beyond Meat is making a protein soda. Here's a good guess as to why, and why it might make more sense than it sounds

A closer look at one of my favourite bánh mì in London, Hackney’s own Bánh Mì Hội-An

Even pop stars are turning to the trades to avoid being replaced by AI these days

If you're going to read anything today, go read this

A great first weekend for TikTok's new US owners

Such an inversion of recent years, when we were so strong in the big games but prone to stupid screwups against everyone else

After eating as many as them as I could over the past few weeks, I can confirm that London has an awful lot of bang average bánh mì. But a handful of spots are a cut above the rest, whether it’s thanks to baking their own bread or getting their pickles on point. These are the ones not to miss.

Big result. Happy to do our bit to keep Chelsea away from yet another WSL title

Bangers only at Tofu Vegan (but the silken tofu remains the biggest banger of them all)

Good news, everyone! Now we have two Trump Phones to worry about.

A bit of a love letter to the diner, and more specifically Lou’s

I'm sure that one extra milliamp-hour is going to make all the difference

Couldn't go to the North without eating a pork pie. In fact, turns out I couldn't go without eating two, but that's between me and God

If Fiorentina keep picking up points like this, I'm going to come dangerously close to believing we might actually survive the season

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Another year, another round of layoffs at Vox Media. In solidarity with our laid-off colleagues, here is our full statement:

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

There's a fun figure going around claiming Trump Mobile has sold almost 600,000 preorders, to pocket $60 million in deposits, but there's no actual proof it's true

Hmm. Loved his work on the animation side. But not sure I quite trust him to push Star Wars forward now, rather than back into the nostalgia mines

I still get commenters every week asking who even cares about my ongoing Trump Mobile coverage. Well, now we know: Elizabeth Warren, who just cited it in a letter to the FTC @warren.senate.gov

Poon’s is exceedingly pretty, and the food is almost good enough to match — almost

It's become pretty damn difficult for US colleagues to review DJI products — who can say why! — so guess who's becoming a drone reviewer?

How...subtle

I was travelling last week, so forgot to share my review of the excellent new opening Tempo - so good that in fact I’m already going back there for dinner tomorrow

My first recipe for the new year is not exactly health food: bubbly focaccia, slick with red chilli oil, and studded with briny capers. Worth relaxing the diet for though.

I've had a side quest at CES this year: looking for signs of life for the Trump phone. It's still nowhere to be seen.

If I achieved nothing else this week, I helped come up with this horror show headline

Amidst all the CES chaos, Honor just gave a UK launch to the Magic 8 Pro, and its telephoto has really impressed me
