RIP CLAUDIA CARDINALE - legend of postwar Italian cinema and much else - who was nothing like her sultry sex symbol screen image when I interviewed her in 2013, but warm, chatty, funny and full of energy. www.theguardian.com/film/2013/se...

I spoke to Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder about the case for reparations for transatlantic slavery. They put forward a compelling case. To those who say "we can't afford it", consider that UK was paying back debts for compensating slave OWNERS up until 2015. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Remember when Disney fought fascism?

Bold 'control and compassion' approach can reduce small boat numbers. '“The new Home Secretary needs to seize the initiative on small boats with a real-world plan that is bold enough to have an impact but founded on hard evidence of what works'. www.britishfuture.org/bold-control...

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

NEWS: I’ve set up an independent anti-racist reporting and monitoring organisation. We’ll document racist attacks, support victims, pressure authorities to act, and amplify the voices of smaller, more isolated Black and Asian communities across Britain.🧵

Woah. We’re gonna need more red string!

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Sadly, SPINAL TAP II rarely turns it up to above 6, let alone 11. Warm nostalgia and indulgent celeb cameos but mostly lacks the mockery and satire - and the tight pacing - of the original. The best jokes are all in the last 5 mins, if you're prepared to sit it out.

EXCLUSIVE: England’s farms are being fertilised with a cocktail of toxic landfill juice + sewage sludge. 750,000 tonnes of landfill leachate tankered to sewage works every year → mixed into sewage → spread on farmers' fields. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My review of Stephen King adaptation THE LONG WALK - which I was not as crazy about as other critics, it seems. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

“I did not fear them whatsoever,” he recalls. “I saw them eye to eye.” The extraordinary bravery of Mahmoud Khalil - who invited me into his new home for a three hour interview. Edited by @noayachot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

If your media diet looked like his, you’d be red-pilled too.

Dying to know more about this photo.

Clanker! This slur against robots is all over the internet – but is it offensive?

Storm Stevie is my drag queen name.

Just watched Eddington. More like "needs editing" amirite?

Work with Hitchcock was fruitful for Benny, Who scored loads of his movies, but then he Really wasn't that certain About doing Torn Curtain And thereafter he didn't score any.

I spoke to Mike Figgis about his new doc on the making of Francis Ford Coppola's notorious Megalopolis - which is in many ways more fun than the movie itself. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/au...

Farage’s “probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.” And, unbelievably, this Labour govt finds itself trapped because it has refused to call this out. What a profound - and now dangerous - political failure. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is Britain's most popular media outlet. Not a single aspect of this headline is remotely true, and I don't know anyone in economics or industry who would recognise these statements as having any relationship with reality.

Don’t know who made this but thank you

Yup, exactly.

If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.

DeepMind's Demis Hassabis said a similar thing to me a few weeks ago. When I asked him about datacentres' huge energy demands he kind of replied "well, fusion". As if we're gonna crack that in time. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The government continues to use as its primary social media platform the one most responsible for introducing children to porn, not to mention fascism and all that

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

⚡️Do NOT let Musk get his hands on British utilities. He’s applied for a license to supply energy here. ✍️ Tell Ofgem what you think about that: www.bestforbritain.org/petition-elo...

Epic series of tweets by Gavin Newsom. He nailed the style perfectly. Hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

We are in the upside down.

hear me out: Kobi Nazrul primary school in London's East End is the first in the UK where *every* pupil is bilingual here.

Lately, Reform UK have claimed that their hostility to migrants stems from an overwhelming desire to keep women safe. But have they been equally concerned when the threat to women comes from someone they see as on "their side"? I took a quick peek at their recent record. ~AA

Sadiq Khan was right! - the anti-20mph/Ulez haters were wrong (though you won't hear any of them admit it). www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is v good, in both argument and presentation. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Salman Rushdie on what people often misunderstand about “Slaughterhouse-Five” and its refrain, “So it goes.”

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

Excellent story from @jemima.bsky.social on.ft.com/3J5yuk0
