“She affirmed that our lives hold meaning and that we stand on the shoulders of giants like her, whose courageous love and relentless fight assured our right to live with dignity.”

RIP, Miss Major.

Then suddenly someone is beating a horse to death and it's the most harrowing thing you've ever read. Then back to someone being complexly irritated with their downstairs neighbour. Yes

I recently read a dostoevsky novel for the first time and was so grateful for the slightly, well, boring passages - why should every page be another smooth transition to a compelling point of crisis? Novelists aren't emotional concierges. I felt lucky to be subject to his tests.

it’s good when novels are huge and long and even occasionally boring, it’s fundamentally a durational form

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

After spending an entire morning defending his suggestion that there are too many non-white faces in the UK, Robert Jenrick ends his speech with the line: "Let's take our country back".

All there is here - black tiles, a faint smell of rubber, and this solemn list of prohibitions for the protection of the absent cats.

Are these cafes supposed to be this bleak, this sinister? I feel like i'm in a de chirico painting.

Now the baristas are discussing how the ill cat has been mewing and are saying, 'poor baby.' A woman just entered and left wordlessly.

I know this because as one of the baristas brought me my hot chocolate they shouted, 'puke!'

Today on a whimsical impulse i went to a cat cafe.

There were no other customers. I tried to go to the loo. Behind the only door: two sleeping cats and their barista-carers, who angrily told me to leave.

I returned to the empty main room and sat. Then one of the cats vomited.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.
