Strange piece. I spend a lot of time thinking about protein intake, and follow all sorts of fitness people, and have not once seen anyone recommend eating a Peperami to hit your macros

Ling Ling’s has popped up all over London in the last few years, and that’s left its mark on a menu of Chinese classics with hints of Italian, Turkish, Korean and more

Why dont the premier league teams let Merino do that?

I got to play with both Xiaomi and Realme's phone camera concepts yesterday, two different takes on attaching a wildly impractical camera lens to a phone

Ahead of Pancake Day, these are pancakes the way my parents made them, with the teeniest twist via Dan Lepard

I really love the Xiaomi 15 Ultra's camera, but I have had to make my peace with how it looks

HMD's latest pair of promo phones are both for Barça: a branded Nokia 3210 and an HMD Fusion with a whole lot of autographs on the back

Sure, why not

I kinda forgot what it felt like for one of my football teams to win a match there for a bit

The Oscars DRIVE me crazy ... @theonion.com

I'm sure I'm not the only one that still can't imagine paying this much for PS VR 2. It needs content more than a price cut. I owned the first gen and don't intend to get burned again

My hotel's approach to the fuse box in my room is certainly novel

I don’t really get London’s recent obsession with crispy, East Coast-style pizzas, and Dough Hands hasn’t changed my mind - but it is one of the better takes on the style I’ve had so far

Yeah, it's not great

This looks weirdly... fun... for a show I mostly remember for being quite wonderfully miserable

I never really wanted to write about Hugh Corcoran’s The Yellow Bittern, but if you’re going to pop up in my Tribune subscription calling yourself progressive, you better have something to back it up

Quite glad I wasn't able to watch today's game, in retrospect

Love to have a government committed to making the internet worse for everyone

Think I just made my TikTok debut

The Oppo Find N5 has my favourite hardware of any foldable phone right now. I'm not sure how they get meaningfully better from here, so how about they start getting cheaper instead?

I’ve always been a fan of Dom’s Subs, and not only because they’re my namesake

I have long been the iPhone SE's biggest critic (perhaps apart from @techspurtvideo.bsky.social) so I'm relieved to see its rebrand might have made it a phone worth buying

The AI Pin? A bust? Well, I certainly didn't see that coming

I’ve eaten an awful lot of Italian food in London — here are my five favourite places to do it

Train home delayed because it apparently hit a shopping trolley. Normal things.

Arsenal must sign a disappointing left 8 every summer, so they can become a highly impactful striker in every February

Ok fine I did not see a Merino brace coming. Who needs a striker anyway?

Bleak

Given the hardware Oppo has produced, the love out there for the first Open, and Samsung's recent foldables, this feels like a colossal own goal for OnePlus

Today’s free review: what I’m pretty confident is London’s one and only Scottish deli

Never been more excited for a new @tribunemagazine.bsky.social in my life

Mixed first reactions for a Marvel movie probably mean it's dreadful, sadly

As a food and climate guy I have mixed feelings about this one

I hope I simply never, ever get bored of watching City lose

This weekend’s recipe for paid subscribers is about as simple as they get: lamb chops with houmous. But it is deceptively delicious.

No, I'm sorry, this is just deranged
