A box of delights:
Christmas music in Central London from the serene to the seriously silly. Lots of carols and no lessons. There’s no better way to get into the spirit of the season than coming to hear us - and at a couple of points you even get to join in. @elysiansingers.bsky.social

There are 37.4m UK taxpayers.
Mansion tax will affect just 165,000 of them. Several of them, it would seem, own and edit newspapers and other media outlets. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Won’t somebody please think of Britain’s poor £2m homeowners? Oh, wait – everyone already is | Jonathan Liew

The Maids review - This AI-fuelled nightmare gave me a migraine
The director of the smash-hit Dorian Gray adaptation with Sarah Snook uses the same high-tech trickery, but this time it's all noisy style and no substance.

A photo that sums up 2025: a man in body armor and a helmet wets himself as he shoots an unarmed and unarmored man in the face with a flashbang grenade.
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.
