Good to know, think I'll start with those later ones!

I've not read any of Szalay's books but now seems like a good time to catch up

Yes, could easily fit into Little Dorrit with some better prose around it

Other people have made the point already but it really is the impact of Musk buying X. I thought it would be bad and yet still didn't realise how significant it would be

Also missed "roadmen" there, a classic. Love to see far-right lingo enter the mainstream.

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate

So hard to sing properly too! I love hearing it in the wild

"And his Arabic is so good too! I didn't think anyone your age had good Arabic!" I preferred it when buzzy politicians were not my immediate peers...

I don't know aboht the rest of the country but this is definitely true for London? Free bus travel up until 16, you just need to show your ZipCard

If you see someone holding her arm a little oddly at the Baille Gifford thing tonight, it's nothing to do with me.

They should have her review all the bad shows, what a joy to read

She seems appalled at what they subjected Sarah Paulson to but now I'm even more curious - I haven't seen her give one bad performance

The Times (of London) also gave it zero stars, yikes. Anyway, everyone involved will be fine. Long live criticism and arts sections that can make me cackle out loud www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-r...

this is a good read, thank you!

May we all have the courage and selflessness of this man when needed. I hope he pulls through.
