My favorite Hulk Hogan story is how on the set of The Princess Bride, Andre the Giant would help Robin Wright stay warm by placing his huge hand over the top of her head.

Sometimes you sit down on a Friday night thinking the worst about everything and then Carolina Wilga is found alive and you realise that sometimes hope wins.
To sum up, good news is good news even when it’s entirely unexpected and everything else is shit. 💜💜

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.
Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor.

It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

Look what Liutauras found yesterday - one of the Lego life rafts lost overboard from the Tokio Express 28 years ago. In 1997, 28,700 of these fell into the ocean 20 miles off Land’s End but few have been found. Many thanks to Liutauras and his family for giving us permission to share their video.

CISA controls the .gov domain registrar and the national public key infrastructure (PKI). This means Elon Musk has the ability to shut down any federal, state, or city government using a .gov domain.
