Reading comprehension is truly down because it’s a super clear narrative that makes sense from the beginning

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Warren Mortimer’s elegiac piece reflects on grief and the resilience of loss. A poem where small departures echo loud.

A textured concrete-gray background displays an excerpt from Warren Mortimer’s poem when we moved from morecambe. The text, centered in soft white font, meditates on grief and remembrance, referencing a “theatre of air” left open not for more loss but in honour of a world unwilling to collapse. The poet’s name is at the bottom right.

Funding fights, memoirs by Boris Becker and Stallone, plus the queen of romantasy: this year’s London book fair

The 2025 book trade jamboree featured a bonanza of heart-shaped fiction, celebrity memoirs, and some vexed discussion about festival finances and children’s reading

The amount of writing books I’ve read that insist you write at the same time each day, or write arbitrary amounts, or give pointless exercises… yes it’s great for discipline and for some writers but embracing spontaneity is important too.
