Watched Conclave. Unfortunately, I can’t take Tucci seriously now that I know he’s just thinking about his pasta leftovers lunch and where his next martini is coming from…

Perfect! Thank you!

That JD Vance speech in Munich was absolutely extraordinary. Kicking Europe in the face, one country at a time. Interested to see a fact-check on it…

Caroline Kennedy urges senators to vote against cousin RFK Jr In a scathing letter, Caroline Kennedy urges US senators not to confirm her cousin for a top health job.

Remarkable. Just when you think America can’t get any more nuts, the Kennedys start scrapping on the lawn at Hyannis Port… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Or you could go outside and have a real life. And some peace.

Listening to James O’Brien talk to Laurence Rees (writer of The Nazi Mind: 12 Warnings From History) is terrifying. The parallels between now and then are stark. Dehumanisation of targeted groups, using conspiracy theories to propel propaganda. Playing on innate fears. It’s happening again.

NATO venues?! What?! We’re talking about the Australian Open: Australia isn’t in NATO. And what’s it got to do with tennis anyway…?!

But he doesn’t ‘come off with class.’ He comes off as abrasive, defensive, inauthentic. The crowd often takes against him not because of his nationality but his unlikeability on court; aggressively urging them to cheer for him etc. Tennis fans don’t like bad sportsmanship, as Kyrgios has found out.

Ridiculous to claim that Federer (the men’s tennis world’s true GOAT because of all he achieved on and off court) and Nadal are ‘held to a lower standard’. In what category? Skill? Manners? Charm? Sportsmanlike behaviour? Discipline? Commitment? They’re faultless by any standard.

Neither are Federer, Nadal or Andy Murray, the others in the ‘top four’ greats. All of whom played through injury. Your point makes no sense.

Elon Musk calls for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claims Musk's call is due to a disagreement support for far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Just discovered there’s no new series of The White Lotus this Christmas (it’ll air in late Feb) and now EVERYTHING IS RUINED.

Calls for Archbishop of York to resign over abuse case failings Stephen Cottrell knew that a priest was banned from being alone with children, but the priest remained in post.

In Chaos Theory, I believe this is called a constant feedback loop. It’s not ALL (male) priests, but it is always a (male) priest… #thankgodforatheism www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Series 2 of Wolf Hall is incredible but someone should have told Timothy Spall he’s not in panto…

NO ONE EXPECTS TO NEED A FOOD BANK, ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS

But with 16 million people now living in poverty in the UK - a staggering 24% of the UK population @trusselluk.bsky.social urgently need our help to provide emergency food, support & hope to people this winter youtu.be/_4hqVhTzVcw?...

Absolute disgrace of a headline. ‘A black and blue Christmas’ is almost… cheery, jokey, Mrs Brown’s Boys. Stop normalising violence against women. #patriarchy

This CD player was my birthday present in 1997 along with the incomparable Fresh Hits 1997. I found it recently and COULD NOT BELIEVE how rich the sound was, after years of streaming Spotify on my phone. My column today is about this phenomenon, which I’m calling “qualitynesia” on.ft.com/3ZlwHf5

Bristol's first 'Safe Space' for a night out will start this weekend The pilot project is starting after a police chief's niece was stuck waiting for a bus for hours and continually approached by men

How about men just behave well instead and then we wouldn’t have to round up women in a pen to keep them safe? www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

Only 23 Gregg Wallace apologies until Christmas

A series of Strictly, but only celebs who’ve been cancelled.

words can't accurately describe the extent to which I would not rather go to an escape room, a murder mystery experience or crazy golf over a boozy lunch or, quite frankly, just a regular lunch

Someone just posted a photo of the Mar-a-Lago Thanksgiving dinner and honestly, if someone served that to me on a plane in economy I'd fucking kick off.

And all with the active aid and connivance of the site’s owner. Our online discourse is deeply unwell.

Says a lot that about 90% of the traffic I’m seeing on X right now is absolutely convinced the British govt is about to embark on a mass programme of state murder of the elderly and vulnerable. What was until recently the town square of politics has become the preserve of the bad, mad and deranged.

Bending out shmushed christmas tree branches… that’s my full-time job now 🙄

Simona Halep: Two-time Grand Slam winner criticises ITIA after Iga Swiatek's doping ban Simona Halep has questioned the

Simona Halep’s wrong; the ITIA’s not to blame for doping inconsistencies: players’ teams are. They’re well-paid elite sport experts who should be more careful with players’ health and diet. Literally their job… www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis...

Re: I’m A Celeb eating trials. I don’t understand why they don’t all end up with salmonella… raw fish guts and pig’s testicles etc?!

Berlin IS a scary looking town. Not hard to make it look like a horror film but this def takes it to a new level!

I’m obsessed with taking street pictures that look scenes from horror films.

I think this picture I took in Berlin has echoes of The Exorcist.
Or maybe I’m just seeing things…
