“A Cossack always carries his weapons so that they neither jingle nor rattle. Jingling weapons are a terrible disgrace to a Cossack.” It was an honour to see Usyk fight in Riyadh this weekend, and I would travel many miles to see him again. #usykfury2 #usyk

No other pop chorus captures the mood, tempo and length of the male teenage orgasm better than Pulp’s Babies. Strange as that sounds, that’s its genius.

Increasingly suspect the Barbie movie will be remembered as a forewarning of the second half of the decade: Twitter taken over by Musk and effectively turned into Kenland, with Trump becoming a memified demigod for all the angry young men of the West. Surely not what Greta Gerwig envisioned.

Turns out the new #Jaguar design is an Art Deco delight that could have been teased brilliantly had the promo ad evoked mid-century industrial optimism for the electric age.

Is there really any such thing as a "Blairite" any more? Some of the key figures have long since spotted that New Labour is old. Starmer's problems are not going to be solved by nostalgia for a time geopolitics was boring, Clinton was president and growth was a given.

Those opposed to the #AssistedDyingBill will be made to recognise cases where it has brought people genuine peace, but so too will its supporters be made to confront some awful unintended consequences, and when those occur, the crude utilitarian calculus will be used rationalise and excuse all.
