‘It’s been a cesspit, really, my life’: war photographer Don McCullin on 19 of his greatest pictures At 90, McCullin has spent seven decades recording conflict and tragedy – while escaping snipers, mortar fire and capture. He reflects on pain, pride and regret

'"...Look at Ukraine. Look at Gaza. I haven’t changed a solitary thing. I mean it. I feel as if I’ve been riding on other people’s pain over the last 60 years, and their pain hasn’t helped prevent this kind of tragedy. We’ve learned nothing.”'

This is good advice, for anywhere, not just for Madrid.

The Winter Palace by Philip Larkin Most people know more as they get older: I give all that the cold shoulder. I spent my second quarter-century Losing what I had learnt at university. And refusing to take in what had happened since. Now I know none of the names in the public prints, And am starting to give offence by forgetting faces And swearing I've never been in certain places. It will be worth it, if in the end I manage To blank out whatever it is that is doing the damage. Then there will be nothing I know. My mind will fold into itself, like fields, like snow.

A ‘humanely’ killed animal is still killed – and that’s wrong | Aeon Ideas The big ethical issue about animals is not whether we treat them humanely while alive but that we so often kill them.
