Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Hey. You don’t need more than 0.8-1.2g of protein per kilo of body weight and don’t let Big Protein convince you to buy and eat expensive protein supplement that taste like dirt.
Eat more fibre. You should be eating 30g of fibre per day. Statistically, you’re not.

F Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote, in The Last Tycoon, that there are no second acts in American Lives. If ever anyone proved that wrong, Patricia Hearst did – and, indeed, continues to. Obviously, you know the most prominent bit of her story, which began on this day in 1974... 🧵

Dear future self,
In the midsummer (for there will be a summer again one day) even when it’s 40°c and you are longing for a breeze, do not romanticise winter.
If you see Kate Winslet on telly and you think “ah The Holiday”, slap yourself. It is not like that. It is not cosy. It is horrible.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.
But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.
