Cock-a-hoop to be writing for @thenerve.news and we kick off with a piece about why Celebrity Traitors is era defining television.

The new, star-studded Traitors is era-defining telly - because it knows that celebrity is the ultimate grift

Will anyone ever trust Jonathan Ross again? Will Tom Daley come out in the edit as the ultimate villain? The genius of the celebrity version of The Traitors, argues author and critic Julia Raeside, is...

very glad I've stuck with The Hack - it's a complicated and enraging story well told

interesting that they waited until 14 October to tell us we could get an extra year, just by enrolling 🤔

THE WILD IRIS
by Louise Glück

At the end of my suffering
there was a door.

Hear me out: that which you call death
I remember.

Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting.
Then nothing. The weak sun
flickered over the dry surface.

It is terrible to survive
as consciousness
buried in the dark earth.

Then it was over: that which you fear, being
a soul and unable
to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth
bending a little. And what I took to be
birds darting in low shrubs.

You who do not remember
passage from the other world
I tell you I could speak again: whatever
returns from oblivion returns
to find a voice:

from the center of my life came
a great fountain, deep blue

I can’t quote it all so please read it all “There is an Arabic expression, hameeha harameeha – meaning “its protector is its thief”, that comes to mind as those who have plied Israel with weaponry gather to figure out how to achieve peace in Gaza” bit.ly/4q7DXrt

This is the end of am absolutely fascinating thread

Andrew Orton @andreworton.bsky.social · 2d

I want television to stop trying to exclusively close some gap between itself and film, and do what I think the medium does best: tell fascinating stories which allow performances to breathe, emotions to be drawn out and spaces to be examined. 34/
