And noise cancelling headphones?

I don't want to brag but I've read all of the Guardian's best books list AND the Guardian's unofficial readers' picks list. Now to read the books on those lists.

The jerseys also say "Ceci n'est pas un maillot" ("This is not a jersey") on the back. Perfect detail.

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

To be fair, he really needs daytime rest after being up all night posting fantasy A-I images of himself on "Truth" Social, as all presidents do.

Can’t be repeated enough…

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

When EMI pulled funding on LIFE OF BRIAN days before shooting, the Pythons turned to a fan. George Harrison put up around £3 million of his own money to make the film, simply because he wanted to see it. Eric Idle called it "the world's most expensive cinema ticket."

Amazing photographs of Paris in 1970. Not so long ago (well within my lifetime, anyway, and after the évènements of 1968) yet everything has changed so much since then. My main impression - everyone is so formally dressed, even the children.

Lizzy & the Triggermen, are purveyors of "Resistance Swing," we certainly didn't invent the genre. In 1941, Irving Berlin wrote this banger called, "When That Man Is Dead and Gone" about Hitler. A recording of this an song is available on our last album, "Live at Joe's Pub."

Earlier today a small boy wearing glasses and a cowboy hat recited a rap he'd written. I remarked on its intense lyrical mysticism, reminiscent of the Duino Elegies, which, I suggested, must have sprung from a deep, existential weariness. He admitted this was the case. "The Rilke-y bars are ennui."

Great way to spend a Thursday evening.

Who knew? Time to abandon the internet as a source of factual information?

This is the least heterosexual thing ever posted by a man with five children.

It’s hard to imagine any technology that has ever fucked it this badly, and purely through arrogance, it’s like if the people who invented the car decided to showcase its utility by driving over your family dog and then backing up and doing it again, and also the car sucked and was bad

Given all the *check notes* … ballyhoo … about this new album I thought I might repost this podcast episode from the very generous Jeremy Dylan where he invited me to help him review Paul McCartney’s previous albums of this century. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

London issued 11,755 Russian citizens a visa in the first three months of 2026, with a refusal rate of 8%. Shame on the Telegraph. We really don't want the barrage of anti-Irish propoganda we had up until the late 1990s back again.
