I was so excited to celebrate It's Not a Bloody Trend's birthday this morning, only to discover that it was actually...yesterday. Anyway, my book on (you'll be shocked to hear) ADHD is one today!

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Bad Bunny’s Superbowl show is like a 13 min London 2012 on Puerto Rican culture. The cameos! The dancing! The detail! Just watched it in bed and it is so lovely. Less lovely: that he’s padded up like that due to the threats on his life. youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8?...

I've written a blog aimed at cis ppl, on the recent revelations of rising trans suicide rates since NHS England removed gender affirming care for u18s, in particular about my involvement with trying to seek the truth and the trauma the gaslighting by Appleby, Streeting, Cass and the media causes.
Trans youth suicide - the truth we've always known. What it means to me and what I've been doing about it.
Last week Queer AF broke a story that revealed the suicide rate in trans under eighteens is around fourteen times higher than you might expect from census data.As the parent of Alice a trans woman who...

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

I always suspect the American guests enjoy Graham Norton - while obviously tightly planned, it seems to give them a bit more leeway than other parts of the promo circuit and the group dynamic gives it a more relaxed feel - so this is nice to see.
Oh my God, Taylor Swift (correctly) loves The Graham Norton Show so much that she got everyone who was on it with her to come and do the Opalite video *including beloved Graham*

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

Just did Nick Ferrari on LBC to talk about kids with ADHD having access cards for theme parks etc and...I think it went well! Spelt out the very, very long process for getting Nimbus and RAP, that you still have to wait, just elsewhere, and kids already hate queuing, so this is on hard mode.

I am utterly mesmerised by how Sybil is tackling finishing off this pot of yogurt. She is an artist. This is true diligence and dedication to her craft.

A year to the day since Mandelson told the FT that their questions about Epstein were "an FT obsession and frankly you can all fuck off."

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
