The wonderful Bill Nighy being wonderfully Bill Nighy observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

I cannot believe I am just now learning that Bill Nighy has an advice podcast, whoever failed to inform me about this is fired

Ah Bill Nighy.

Bill Nighy has started giving advice to people. observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

fascinating that Bill Nighy gets what a lot of romance authors do not.

Bill Nighy coming in with an admirable generosity of spirit observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

Thoroughly enjoyed this whole interview but also slightly surprised that I appear to be married to Bill Nighy.

thank god for bill nighy

This is a wonderful read with poignant replies and a whole bunch of charmingly British fashion opinions. Bill Nighy should do this on a regular basis, this is delightful.

@jeffrivett.net there are half a dozen laughs in this, what a treasure Bill Nighy is

This is a delightful interview, you should read it. Lucky Miranda Sawyer, who got to 'waste some time' with Bill Nighy.

This whole article is beautiful 🥰 Bill Nighy, eloquent and hilarious.

“Also, how clever is anyone supposed to be? How interesting is anyone supposed to be? Just open up your heart and let him walk around there for a while.” There is no better way to “squander” your time than this delightful interview with Bill Nighy ⭐️

More weekly brilliance from @lauracummingart.bsky.social her description of Prince dancing is worth the price of the Observer on its own

Pete Townsend and Prince in this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ show from the great Arthur Jafa at Sadie Coles HQ and Karma Ashadu at Camden Arts Centre...loved these shows @theobserveruk.bsky.social @timadamswrites.bsky.social observer.co.uk/culture/art/...

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today! observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

I adore Bill Nighy, this is such a great interview

The inimitable Bill Nighy, agony uncle, on boring friends, football fans and tge optimum colour of sock. In the @ObsNewReview ://observer.co.uk/culture/interviews/article/what-shorts-should-i-wear-the-shorts-that-go-down-and-arrive-at-your-shoe

It's Bill Nighy, so obviously it's a joy, but there's also some brilliant advice in here: observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

observer.co.uk/news/columni... Well worth reading this

I've long felt that the generosity of Cosey Fanni Tutti's work is overshadowed by the 'transgressive' reputation of TG, and that her art / porn actions and music have been rather siloed. It was a pleasure to try and put that straight in this profile for The Observer observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

I wrote an opinion column for the Observer! I never do opinion columns but I was just really annoyed by cultural vandalism and Kemi Badenoch. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Unmissable report from @milesellingham in this week’s Observer, which brings to life the surreal and tragic new normal for young people in #Kyiv observer.co.uk/style/featur...

The most significant trip I've ever taken in terms of a new history of art. Ancient Egypt as we've never seen it before! @theobserveruk.bsky.social @nealspencer.bsky.social @timadamswrites.bsky.social rhttps://observer.co.uk/culture/art/article/face-to-face-with-the-pharaohs-tomb-artists

This is horrifying and an example of just what is going on right now. #USDemocracy

I like the new Observer more and more. Naomi Alderman's review of Nick Clegg and Tim Berners-Lee's new books is a wonderful piece of writing. observer.co.uk/culture/book...

A few weeks ago I mentioned Orison for the Curlew by Horatio Clare. Now the Slender-billed Curlew has finally been declared extinct - Simon Barnes wrote about this #extinction in The Observer yesterday observer.co.uk/news/science...

Fantastic, devastating piece on Pitcairn Island by @ericawgnr.bsky.social. TW: rape, child abuse observer.co.uk/news/interna...

These are amazing. Humanising migrants, imagine that. Bravo the Observer, the photographers, the helpers. God bless those sleeping children and their parents. observer.co.uk/news/interna...

Thank you to @observeruk.bsky.social for this thoughtful review. “Berners-Lee is clear-eyed about the benefits and the dangers. This Is for Everyone contains some very sharp thinking about what we need to do now.” We must fight for the web we want. observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Great piece today by Simon Barnes, one of last to see a Slender-billed Curlew observer.co.uk/news/science... following research confirming extinction @rspb.bsky.social @rspbscience.bsky.social @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @naturalis.bsky.social @nhm-london.bsky.social @ucllifesciences.bsky.social

I have reviewed Nick Clegg's book 'How To Save The Internet' and Tim Berners-Lee's book 'This Is For Everyone' for The Observer. I, er, really really did not like Nick Clegg's book: observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Great interview … “It’s so much more enjoyable when the audience are dancing and not thinking,” he says. observer.co.uk/music/pop/ar...

'Startlingly contemporary . . . still burn[s] with a cool flame.' Read Anna Leszkiewicz's write-up in the Observer for The Ha-Ha by Jennifer Dawson, originally published in 1961 and reissued this Thursday by Faber Editions. observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Lovely write up from @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social about the new @funkidslive.com show 360 Seconds. observer.co.uk/culture/audi...

Fascinating article on early photography practices observer.co.uk/culture/phot... William Notman and the invention of Canada @flakphoto.news

Never been a fan of heavy metal, but I do love the writing of Elif Shafak. Having read her tribute in @theobserveruk.bsky.social‬ to Ozzy Osbourne, I'm thinking maybe I need new ears: observer.co.uk/news/opinion....

Good piece by @annaleszkie.bsky.social in today’s Observer (and online soon, I presume) about Jennifer Dawson’s 1961 novel The Ha-Ha, about a young woman’s time in and out of a mental institution—and the latest Faber Editions reissue.

“Tragedy exerts its hold upon our imaginations because it reminds us that justice is an illusion. Hiroshima is the great tragedy of our age from which we continue to seek understanding and yet can never understand.” observer.co.uk/style/featur...

How a title can ruin a picture’s future. Obsessed with this portrait for decades, elated to see a whole ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️show centring upon it, curated by fellow obsessive Fiona Tan observer.co.uk/culture/art/...

Excuse the endless self promotion, but I have a new book out. In fact, I wrote about self promotion for the Observer today…. observer.co.uk/news/columni...

‘[A] comprehensive, critically intelligent, challenging and original book, which genuinely breaks new ground in mapping the religious history of Europe.’ Thank you to Rowan Williams for his amazing review of ‘Silence of the Gods’ in @theobserveruk.bsky.social 📚 observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Why do so many of my books have a similar ending? Maybe it was that film my parents took me to see when I was eight. observer.co.uk/culture/film...
