Oasis 2026 confirmed (is what I’m telling myself here in delusion town).

For The Conversation, @dramyburge.bsky.social and I wrote an obituary for the late, great Jilly Cooper.

Jilly Cooper: why readers still cherish her ‘fat, fun, frothy novels’

Many of Cooper’s depictions of sex are very funny. However, there is a clear message throughout.

Dear University Presidents:

Will you be like Martin Heidegger? Will you be like Neville Chamberlain? Or will you be like Charles de Gaulle?

Please lead with courage and conviction. Stand for your faculty, students, and science.

The way I would have lost my mind if they had not found Francine.

A beloved shop cat disappeared. Security footage solved the mystery.

Francine, the beloved cat from a Richmond Lowe's, was found in Garysburg, North Carolina, after a two-week search.

This all starts with Google crashing site traffic across the web regularly.

The system is broken. Massive corporations siphon away the traffic that allows us to make money, while leaving us with little option but to write what is basically paid advertorial (without Amazon buying ad space).

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

A reminder that when you steal an entire video interview to upload it yourself or post an entire article via screenshots—especially without linking!—you're harming publications *and* risking future coverage for shows you love. Please, please, please link to things you care about.

The Fate of Ophelia is wildly incorrect as a piece of Shakespearean analysis, but also maybe the best song on the new Taylor Swift album, and I'm very conflicted about this dichotomy.

I know everyone's talking about Showgirl right now, but holy everything this Oasis rework of "Cast No Shadow" for the Morning Glory 30th anniversary, where a fiftysomething Noel has redone the backing tracks opposite the original vocals of a twentysomething Liam, is i n c r e d i b l e.

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."
