A strong whiff of "don't you know who I am" here. And, do tell, who broke it? Your former husband and his mates?

This is superb to the point of essential. Philippe Sands was a key source for our episodes on genocide and Klein conducts an excellent interview podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
Really good deep reporting by @noahshachtman.bsky.social (plus some jaw-dropping anecdotes) in this story about the growing internal crisis at the ADL

An image of a page from the Chicago Sun Times titled, "Summer reading list for 2025" with an image of a woman sitting on a porch, perhaps, beside a body of water, reading. It's beige as fuck. Above the title is a row of icons that invoke summer, I guess. The article itself is too long to reproduce, BUT, only five of the fifteen books listed here as titles you should read are actually real. Brit Bennett doesn't have a book titled Hurricane Season. The fuck? Isabel Allende has no book named Tidewater Dreams. The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir, The Collector's Piece by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Nightshade Market by Min Jin Lee, The Longest Day by Rumaan Alam, Boiling Point by Rebecca Makkai, Migrations by Maggie O'Farrell, The Rainmakers by Percival Everett, and Salt and Honey by Delia Owens are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!!
Of the books named on this reading list, Brit Bennet, Isabel Allende, Andy Weir, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Min Jin Lee, Rumaan Alam, Rebecca Makkai, Maggie O'Farrell, Percival Everett, and Delia Owens' titles are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!!

Screenshot from The New Yorker: One morning a few weeks ago, I met de Blasio at his regular coffee shop in Park Slope. He had just come from the gym—the same one that he’d insisted on commuting to every morning from Gracie Mansion, no matter how much grief the press gave him for it—and was wearing sweats. He held forth among his fellow-patrons with a spirit of magnanimous, possibly unreciprocated camaraderie, greeting a startled man by the door with a familiar “How you doing, brother?” and ordering his breakfast (scrambled egg whites, cheddar, ham, and tomato on multigrain toast) as “mi sandwich especial.” These days, de Blasio most often makes the news for his love life or for such momentous moves as dyeing his salt-and-pepper crewcut. But he’s sensed a bit of de Blasio nostalgia creeping into town. “Since I left office, the No. 1 thing that people come up to me on the street and talk about is pre-K,” he told me, lacing his iced espresso with a heavy pour of simple syrup. “The No. 2 thing that people talk about is that Onion headline.” He quoted it for me, savoring every word: “Well, well, well, not so easy to find a mayor that doesn’t suck shit, huh?”

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is launching a drive to raise funds from wealthy offshore donors in low-tax jurisdictions including Monaco, the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland, taking advantage of Britain’s loose funding rules to bolster its coffers.

My latest book - WHAT A WAY TO GO - is out in paperback on Thursday. To mark it, I’m doing an event with my husband in London. Get tickets here (if you like) www.waterstones.com/events/an-ev...
Let me get this straight:
Fringe extremist infiltrates a major political party, rises to the rank of Vice President, throws around diplomatic weight to force a meeting with the Pope, and then MURDERS said Pope?
Folks. This is a Dan Brown novel.
Hugely keen on this Jesus guy
Hahahaha
Next time someone asks me this ridiculous question I’m just gonna send them this link 🙃
'No-one is talking about young men' increasingly occupies the same space as 'we need an honest conversation about immigration'. We never shut up about young men. It's one of the only things we ever talk about, although admittedly only ever to say 'we need to be more reactionary'.
I wrote a very personal piece about why I’m not having children open.substack.com/pub/bellamac...
We are very excited about this event with bestselling author Bella Mackie in conversation with Radio 1 breakfast show host Greg James.
🎫 Tickets are selling fast so grab yours now!

All social media platforms are absolutely mental for the brain. Just five seconds of scrolling here gave me “the earth’s core is changing,” a recipe for rhubarb crumble by Nigella, then a post about an imminent bird flu pandemic before finally a photo of a dog in a hat.
Congratulations Tess! Xx

[eloquently] The President should be a totally different guy than he has been for his entire life.
I wrote about harbouring delusions I could be amazing at things I’ve never even done and some of the comments made me howl. open.substack.com/pub/bellamac...
Freddie’s flowers touts stand outside branches of Gails with bouquets in the basket of an old timey bike as if in an advertorial directed by Richard Curtis.

I love @bellamackie.bsky.social and this compliments HTKYF perfectly. She provides a hilarious perspective on the ridiculous lives of the super rich! There's nothing better than a book that makes you grateful your not rich. Can't wait for her next one! #booksky
Thank you so much!
Mark Z and Joe Rogan talked for nearly 3 hours about masculinity and shooting pigs. There are shorter Wagner operas. But there is much to digest. My column app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/69052/...
