Oasis 2026 confirmed (is what I’m telling myself here in delusion town).

Jilly Cooper: why readers still cherish her ‘fat, fun, frothy novels’ Many of Cooper’s depictions of sex are very funny. However, there is a clear message throughout.

For The Conversation, @dramyburge.bsky.social and I wrote an obituary for the late, great Jilly Cooper.

Sending you so many good thoughts that this will all go well and smoothly for both of you ❤️❤️

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

These are just fan portraits from the latest Oasis shows

Tag yourself, I am the cat in the pink tracksuit jacket as Don't Look Back in Anger plays in the distance.

I had an absolute blast speaking to michael sheen about TRON: LEGACY. garrett hedlund's costume burning him! daft punk being french as hell! sheen describing castor as being a little "fash-y" with all those cabaret-inspired high kicks! a good time. at @vulture.com:

A beloved shop cat disappeared. Security footage solved the mystery. Francine, the beloved cat from a Richmond Lowe's, was found in Garysburg, North Carolina, after a two-week search.

The way I would have lost my mind if they had not found Francine.

This all starts with Google crashing site traffic across the web regularly.

The system is broken. Massive corporations siphon away the traffic that allows us to make money, while leaving us with little option but to write what is basically paid advertorial (without Amazon buying ad space).

Tori Amos - IN TIMES OF DRAGONS

Tori Amos has announced a new album, "In Times of Dragons," and a European tour in April and May of 2026. toriamos.com

'Brian & Maggie' Episode 1 Recap The first half of the two-part series, Brian & Maggie, sets the stage for an interview that will make history.

The Opening Installment of 'Brian & Maggie' Feels Like an Illicit Affair. @lacymb.bsky.social recaps:

I'm there for approximately 1.5 days because I got asked to moderate a book panel on Thursday can we please get shots or at least terrible Javitts Center wine?

A reminder that when you steal an entire video interview to upload it yourself or post an entire article via screenshots—especially without linking!—you're harming publications *and* risking future coverage for shows you love. Please, please, please link to things you care about.

The Fate of Ophelia is wildly incorrect as a piece of Shakespearean analysis, but also maybe the best song on the new Taylor Swift album, and I'm very conflicted about this dichotomy.

I always thought when it was time for a mid career change of profession there would be professions left.

Cast No Shadow (Unplugged)

I know everyone's talking about Showgirl right now, but holy everything this Oasis rework of "Cast No Shadow" for the Morning Glory 30th anniversary, where a fiftysomething Noel has redone the backing tracks opposite the original vocals of a twentysomething Liam, is i n c r e d i b l e.

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch: Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

I will defend "Be Here Now" to my grave, come at me internet.

could we perhaps live in slightly less interesting times

selfishly, I want more just because I love them. but I’m also very curious about how the sort of massive response to all this makes Noel reevaluate some priors. I feel like he definitely didn’t expect the reaction this all gotten. (Or that Little by Little is maybe the best song in the set.)

I would do SO MUCH to hear Gas Panic. (Or Idler’s Dream. Or Shock of the Lightning. Or Lyla.)

I suspect much about the structure of this tour was about seeing if they could do it — play together again, get on with each other, actually sell out stadiums, and so they went with the familiar and popular stuff. (But I’ve become so Oasispilled I’ve come around to the new album theory.)
