This is such a scandal! Our beaches and waterways are the one of the few pure and good things left about this haggard isle, and companies are pumping sewage into them for profit. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Kevin De Bruyne growing his hair like Grealish is the sweetest thing to happen in football for ages
Anyone old enough to remember Queer As Folk, what a breath of fresh air it was, and how it revealed so much about where Britain was at that time, will love this gem-filled oral history with the main players by @jackarking gq-magazine.co.uk/article/queer-…
"[Alcohol] was the love of my life. I was willing to die for it. I was prepared to go wherever it took me. It didn’t turn out like that” @jessiecath talks to one of our greatest living novelists @MarianKeyes about sobriety, sex and success✍️independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
Not to nitpick, but the section of this review about how to research psychology properly calls John Welwood 'John Wenwood' bookforum.com/print/3004/lau…
A word I'd never heard before: "Apricity", meaning, "the warmth of the sun in winter."
This won't be news to anyone but: Kirsten Dunst is very fucking cool. We had margaritas in LA a few weeks ago. Here is the interview: gq-magazine.co.uk/article/kirste…

Can't take any credit for this one but @hayleycampbell's interview about grief and growing with Vinnie Jones is a joy gq-magazine.co.uk/article/vinnie…
Wrote about Cal Newport's new book, 'Slow Productivity', Jane Austen and Slack goodanger.substack.com/p/the-jane-aus…
A guide to a great literary unknown (and a quick masterclass in starting an article) from my favourite critic @jessiecath independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
Well that's nice.
Not to @AccidentalP it too much but is there a major train station with a more depressing retail line up than Charing Cross? A shuttered pub and a derelict Burger King - and they’re the healthy options.
A fantastic primer on 3 Body Problem, the story Benioff and Weiss decided to tackle after Game of Thrones, which tells the small story of "the history of human civilisation from the time of first contact with aliens until the end of time" gq-magazine.co.uk/article/3-body…
Enjoyable review by @j_amesmarriott. Always fun to see unfashionable figures return. "The disciples are all dead. Modern psychologists can afford to treat him with a victor’s condescension". I'd give him transference, too. thetimes.co.uk/article/f3be4a…

Wasteland in some wonderful company. Thanks @bookshop_org_UK!
This week we're shining a light on political memoir, first-person stories and fantastic fictions. Here are the books we're excited about right now. Which are you looking forward to? uk.bookshop.org/lists/new-book…
Lord above, @jessiecath , THANK YOU with all of my heart for this GORGEOUS piece. I'm so grateful and next time I intend to steal the literal CURTAINS for you 🙏 🙌 😍🥰 (Seriously, you are the best and I can never thank you enough ❤️ ♥️ 💗 💕 💖 )
Over the years I've had two interviewees that made everyone say 'ooooh what were they like??' One was Kevin from Strictly, the other was @MarianKeyes ✨we had a cup of tea and talked about everything from literary snobbery to Gen Z (FYI she was fabulous) independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
I can never curb my innate jealousy for a group of absolute fucking heroes heading off on holiday or a sporting event, and getting totally shitfaced at a ridiculously early hour and carrying on the rest of the day. I look at them in awe and envy and wonder where my life’s gone.

Joe Kinnear's infamous first #nufc press conference was also the first press conference I ever attended. I was there for my student newspaper @CourierOnline. More than 15 years on, it has still not been topped. "Which one is @SimonBird_? You're a c***"
If you are attempting a devastating takedown of a book of essays, it is very, very important not to include the sentence "Since Montaigne, the best essays have been, as the French word suggests, trials, attempts."
@samparkercouk Loosely connected (I think?) - 'apricot' stems from the Greek for 'early ripe'. They work wonderfully in tandem.
Still the boxing moment of the year so far. Never fades, Big Joe
I want you back for good Dillian Whyte 🥊 If not, I’m moving on ✌🏼 🎥🎞️: @kerryrusselltv
Few things are quite as enjoyable as a late, soft penalty against Man Utd.
Had my first alcohol of the year yesterday. Two glasses of champagne, two of red wine. It was quite nice though it would have been just as good without it. I still like pubs, just not massively fond of alcohol these days. They should sell kombucha in boozers.
I don't have the words but could someone @guardian @NewStatesman @ameliargh write an article about Anger. Anger drives everything. Putin, Netanyahu, Braverman, the killers of Cody. We are all just angry. Road rage, no oat milk in Tesco. Right wing, left wing, Christian, Muslim.
⬛️⬜️ This season Newcastle have scored 8 goals against Aston Villa, 6 against West Ham, 6 against Chelsea and 5 against Wolves. If it wasn't for the most freakish succession of injuries (in particular to Pope and Botman) they could really have kicked on this season #NUFC
Nice to get a mention in this Guardian editorial theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I hated my smartphone and how much time I spent on it so I got rid of it. It's actually been brilliant and not nearly as difficult or inconvenient as I thought. (My Nokia is much smaller than the one in the embarassing photoshoot). thetimes.co.uk/article/can-i-…
