I like New Year Resolutions, so here goes:

1. get my French to C1 level
2. Go to the theatre more often
3. Drink lots of good wine
4. Go to champagne and buy lots of champagne
5. Get a six pack (almost impossible)

Londoners baffled by bizarre Christmas mural.

At first glance the suspected AI-generated mural seems to depict a crowd enjoying the festive season. But closer inspection reveals a disturbing array of figures including people with warped faces and dogs with the heads of birds

I’ve not spent a huge amount of time thinking about it, but when I have, every possible solution ends in me going « nah, that won’t work »

A complete and utter shitshow. Although not all of Labour’s making this time at least.

On my masters there is a very distinct and noticeable age divide between those who make notes by hand and those who type.

Call me Luddite but it's mental that some American school districts have moved absolutely everything onto screens??

That American politics went off the rails after Barack Obama and British ethnonationalism has reared its head after Rishi Sunak is the real tell about how committed some people are to integration and post racial politics.

A country where Sadiq Khan can lead London, Humza Yousaf can lead Scotland, and Rishi Sunak can lead Britain is a country where the racists had *lost*. So much of this vicious bile has come directly after that and almost no one seems to draw the connection

It’s International Men’s Day. Obviously these things are sort of ludicrous in the main, but maybe it’s a good time for people to reflect on the fact that something around 4/5 suicides are men, which never seems anything less than absolutely terrifying to me.

The last time Scotland was at a World Cup I watched the opening match against Brazil in my mum’s living room with my mates and a crate of Tennents

Scotland scored to make it 1-1

Everyone ran into the street screaming, neighbours hugging each other

Can still remember that feeling. Here. We. Go.

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥

Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

For the first time in 28 years, Scotland will be at the World Cup!
We're going to the world cup! A photo shows McTominay scoring the best goal in footballing history, an overhead kick.

Does Aaron Rupar do anything else but spend his time clipping fragmentary and possibly disingenuous bits of Trump speaking? Does he have a career, a family, hopes, dreams?

Different strokes, but I think this would be a non-negotiable for me. If after *12 years* you haven't posted your partner on your Instagram, that's a bit of a 'no' from me: www.vogue.co.uk/article/is-h...
But it’s not all about image. When I did a call out on Instagram to my 65,000 followers, plenty of women told me that they were in fact superstitious. Some feared the “evil eye”, a belief that their happy relationships would spark a jealousy so strong in other people that it could end the relationship. Others were concerned about their relationship ending, and then being stuck with the posts. “​​I was in a relationship for 12 years and never once posted him or talked about him online. We broke up recently, and I don’t think I will ever post a man,” says Nikki, 38. “Even though I am a romantic, I still feel like men will embarrass you even 12 years in, so claiming them feels so lame.”

It continues to be funny to me just how much Keir Starmer's social media team do not have his voice down *at all*. I mean, at all, at all.
