It would be nice if the city’s major newspaper hadn’t effectively collapsed thanks to its billionaire owner deciding he needed to suck Trump off for his pharma empire to prosper.

It's not the worst thing about the Trump era by far, but it is infuriating to have been consistently viewed as alarmist for stating plainly what has been happening in front of our very eyes. So many people have gaslit us because they were delusional or reality made them uncomfortable.

Genuine question - should men have tampons / pads in their flats for when their female friends visit? I'm talking specifically single men, not ones whose partners have put that stuff there

As a native Londoner I am actually taking this very personally, restaurants need to earn their spot on those copy-and-pasted churn listicles not just coast on a groupthink of bullshit

On the urging of a hundred listicles about top London restaurants I finally went to Quo Vadis. My conclusion... are those writers having us on? An overpriced, underseasoned snoozefest, in dire need of a vibe! Bafflingly limited menu and the food was a cacophony of beige served on cold plates...

This deserves to be a much, much more widely known scandal. And those involved should fact prosecution for culpability in the deaths of people they wrongly refused – some allegedly corruptly, some through utter incompetence and negligence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it. The problem is always, always money.
