Listening to Handel's first opera Almira (HWV 1), written when he was 19. The kid was going places

Album cover for Handel's Almira featuring a regal woman in elaborate Renaissance attire with lace ruff and embroidered dress, standing before a red curtain. The recording was conducted by Andrew Lawrence-King.

My regular cafe is closed for the holidays but this one will do just fine

A glass of flat white coffee with creamy milk froth, topped with a heart-shaped latte art design. The glass sits on a grey saucer with a spoon, placed on a black tray in a café setting.

It's a beautiful day outside the cafe window

A street view of modern low-rise commercial buildings under a bright blue sky. Signs on the buildings advertise various businesses, including a large yellow sign reading “RE:BORN” and a red sign in Korean. Green trees line the footpath, with taller apartment blocks visible in the background.

At the Basquiat exhibition in Seoul

A framed painting of a black silhouette with spiked hair, painted against a light, textured background. The figure has hollow white eyes, giving it a mask-like appearance.

A painting of a stylised figure with a red hood and dark dress, standing with a cane against a blue-toned background. The figure has a wide grin, red shoes, and round glasses, with sketch-like outlines of a house and a cube faintly drawn behind.

An abstract painting with bold black, white, and earthy tones, filled with layered brushstrokes, scribbled text, and symbolic shapes. A crown motif appears on the right, with fragmented words, door-like forms, and blocks of colour scattered across the canvas.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Cheese and jam sandwiches, especially with bitter marmalade. The saltier the cheese, the better

A light lunch

A wooden plate with a grilled salmon fillet served alongside two scoops of brown rice, fresh lettuce, avocado slices, roasted broccoli and tomatoes, and a dollop of soft white cheese. A lemon wedge and small sauce cup are on the side.

Two million on the streets in Italy for yesterday's general strike for Palestine. Absolutely wonderful to see the power of the working class mobilised against Israel's genocide. An example for the rest of the world to follow! ✊ 🇵🇸 ❤️
