The Gallagher brothers are back – and here's every single Oasis song visualised www.slow-journalism.com/infographics...

We've got an online infographics masterclass on Thursday evening – come and learn how we make our award-winning data visualisations! www.slow-journalism.com/shop/how-to-...

Our Father's Day offer: use code MISCDAD to get a free copy of our modern miscellany Misc. when you purchase a print subscription to Delayed Gratification. Limited to 100 redemptions

Spoiler: yes.

Reading the latest @dgquarterly.bsky.social about the frightening floods in Valencia, and how the increase in urbanisation has left the land, and people, unable to cope with such events...

We do post some articles online but not that one. But subscribers can read it in issue 36 in our digital archive www.slow-journalism.com/digital?_gl=....

It is such a privilege working as journalists on a print publication – no page views, no analytics, no weird incentives to sacrifice quality journalism for viral content

It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. But the researchers behind last summer's proposal to preserve every one of Earth's animal and plant species in a repository on the moon were entirely serious. Read the story in full on our blog www.slow-journalism.com/long-reads/t...

We didn't particularly enjoy time on X after the Musk takeover, but every now and then one of our readers made us smile

Sad to hear that Nikki Giovanni, one of the key voices of the Black Arts Movement, died this week aged 81. We interviewed her in 2018 about Aretha Franklin, the subject of one of her best known poems, and it was a privilege to spend a little time with her www.slow-journalism.com/long-reads/n...

Inside the Big Issue: Gavin & Stacey's James Corden and Ruth Jones We asked Gavin & Stacey creators Ruth Jones and James Corden about their journey – and how they’ve changed along the way.

We were delighted to be asked to set the Christmas quiz for @bigissue.com, a fantastic magazine and social enterprise. Pick up their new issue from a local vendor to tackle our fiendishly tough questions www.bigissue.com/behind-the-s...

Is doom scrolling really rotting our brains? The evidence is getting harder to ignore | Siân Boyle ‘Brain rot’ is the Oxford English Dictionary’s word of the year – a fitting choice, given the startling impact the internet is having on our grey matter, says journalist Siân Boyle

Print media, on the other hand, is good for our brains www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Misc. has been longlisted for the Non Obvious non-fiction book award (you should buy a copy, obviously)

Rumours that the original slow news publication has plans to buy a Sunday newspaper are entirely untrue

Have we not told you about our beautiful new book of facts? Misc. is our take on the classic miscellany, full of facts gathered through making DG for the past 14 years. It will spark countless impromptu quizzes and animated conversations – and it's the perfect Xmas gift www.slow-journalism.com/misc

Our Xmas campaign on the London Underground is live!

We strongly recommend Jonn's assortment of nerdery

If you’re wondering whether to support an artist / creator you like, then maybe it helps to think of buying / subscribing as the counterweight to the “everything is free” decades. If governments won’t support artists with UBI in the face of that, then creators’ shop windows are a way of getting by.

If you'd like to get your paws on the beautiful book of facts that inspired a bonus episode of a popular comedy podcast, here's the lowdown on Misc. www.slow-journalism.com/misc

Beef And Dairy Network Podcast | Podcasts | Maximum Fun The number one podcast for those involved or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds. A comedy podcast by Benjamin Partridge.

Just realised that TBS is only two letters away from RBS, which, as everyone knows, stands for Rich Beef Sausages (we also love Benjamin's Beef and Dairy Network Podcast at DG) maximumfun.org/podcasts/bee...

Three Bean Salad A podcast from comedians Mike Wozniak, Henry Paker and Benjamin Partridge. Each week the three beans tackle a different theme, suggested by the listening audience.

You can listen to Three Bean Salad here, although the Misc episode is exclusively for their Patreon supporters – and we strongly recommend becoming a TBS Patreon supporter pod.link/1564066507

We're stupidly thrilled that our favourite comedy podcast, @threebeansaladpod.bsky.social, did a whole episode based on our trivia book, Misc. Thank you @benpartridge.bsky.social (and non-Blueskying co-hosts)

An Answer for Everything infographics book

‘How long have we got?’ from ‘An Answer for ‘Everything’

‘How do we save the planet?’ from ‘An Answer for ‘Everything’

‘Who’s better, Noel or Liam?’ Oasis infographic for Delayed Gratification issue 56

We tackled some of life’s important questions in our book ‘An Answer for Everything’ but in the next issue of @dgquarterly.bsky.social we’re getting to the really big stuff — Who’s better, Noel or Liam?
