The new design for the Guardian website home page as of 7th May 2025 with a side scrolling selection of stories above the site header.
Just seen the new design of the #Guardian website home page and to me the topline of featured articles above the header just looks like some weird rendering error. Why would you elevate that above your branding? Plus it makes it look like Arsenal is more important story than a potential war.

Wes Streeting looking like a character from the Minecraft Movie
I know the Minecraft Movie is popular right now Wes, but cosplaying on breakfast TV won't make you any less of an arsehole.

Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

It's Sächsilüüte here in Zurich today, when we all gather together to set light to a giant snowman (the Böögg) with fireworks in its head. We do this purely to terrify Germans with our propensity to use words with consecutive umlauted vowels.

A BBC snooker live blog that says, “The Welshman lives up to his nickname with a wonderfully crafted century break.”
This is why they call him The Welshman

About 12 years ago when Clara & I were still together and the kids were very small, we were spending Easter with friends at a big house in the country…
On Easter morning we were awoken (as, I suspect, was everyone else)…

Wenn die US-Zölle bleiben, sollen auch Trump und seine Tech-Milliardäre eine Reaktion spüren. Mit einer Digitalsteuer von 10% für Grossunternehmen (>750 Mio Umsatz) trifft man gezielt Google, Amazon oder X. Solche Massnahmen braucht es jetzt parallel zu Verhandlungen.

A cheap karate trophy with a Mario lucky block eraser stuck on its head. A neon orange sticker reading Ultimate Quiz Smackdown is stuck to the base.
If you win you get to (briefly) lay your hands on this absolute beauty.
