Really pleased to see Hary Kane win the Ballon d'Or. Richly deserved for a player who, despite his undeniably elite stats for club and country, still bizarrely feels underrated by fans.

Niche journalism question. Why on earth have the Guardian subs decided to leave this Americanism in Sadiq Khan's editorial about the pedestrianised Oxford Street? "Exhaust" over "tailpipe", surely?

This is also a great advert for doing things that are obviously environmentally good, even if a vocal group hate them.

Do I think a Glee reboot will be good? No. Do I think the original show stands up to scrutiny? No. Will I watch every single second of this reboot with a tear in my eye and a single arm triumphantly raised towards the lights? Yes. Yes, I will.

I've contributed a few pieces to the new book THE GREAT UNWATCHED from @plumeriapics.bsky.social. It's out in physical formats from November, but you can already buy the ebook if that's what floats your boat. Take a look... 👀 plumeriapics.co.uk/shop/ols/pro...

My grandmother is 80 years old. She was born several months after VE Day. This "generation" is now TINY.

Wow! #ShareGoodNewsToo

Absolutely tremendous news. Long live the PCC!

Not many people know that AA Milne had a much smaller brother called AAA Milne

I still love Bake Off, but they really have to rethink the technical challenges. If every single one of these talented amateur bakers cocks it up in the exact same way, that very much suggests the flaw is in the challenge rather than the contestants. #GBBO

Absolutely unreal performance from the lads tonight. Now that's a result showing how much we deserve to be here. Bobby Thomas was simply immense. #PUSB

Solidarity with anyone struggling on this #WorldMentalHealthDay. It will get better. 🩷

I love Richard Ayoade, but I have to confess that I'm struggling with him on #Taskmaster. Not the right show for his shtick at all. www.voicemag.uk/blog/16948/r...

Just when I don't think America can be grotesque enough to surprise me any more.

This is a wonderfully passive-aggressive Christmas response at Christmas from Aberdeen Council to the annual Christmas "someone's trying to take away the word Christmas" Christmas scandal. 🎅

Really excited to get the takes from all of the politicians who were so exercised about this a few months back. What do they think of puffin over kingfisher? Was the seal snubbed? Why did the British public pick bumblebees and dragonflies over a badass shark?

I don't really have a hot take to add to the #Digger discourse. Though I do think it's weird for a movie to have a mid-story trick that works so clearly against everything that comes before and after.

Watching Inside Out while having a tough mental health week means I've spent the last two hours in tears. BUT it also means I've made the first change to my Letterboxd top four in a long time.

Just watched the Saipan movie and I feel like it's another Wikipedia page of a film. This seems to be becoming more prevalent.

I returned to the pages of The Guardian for this piece looking at the strange decision to submit #ObsessionMovie as a musical/comedy at the #GoldenGlobes. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

Ross Kemp whenever someone breathes near him. #CelebrityTraitors

#AEW star Pac's death is sudden, shocking, and tragic. I wrote some words about a British wrestling legend. www.voicemag.uk/blog/16911/p...

Zach Cregger obviously had a blast doing #ResidentEvil and I had a blast watching it. It's as narratively lightweight as possible, but packed with icky effects and absurd gore that I couldn't help but love.

My overriding feeling after watching Pressure (which is completely fine) was that it's very British to make a war movie entirely about the weather. ⛈️

Really enjoyed being thoroughly wrong footed by #BadApples. And Saoirse Ronan simply does not do bad performances.

Just had an invoice paid within four minutes. Freelance life is full of surprises.

Every time I see a picture of Ed Sheeran's recent on-stage statement, he looks like he's halfway through a Netflix stand-up special called Silenced, entering his 40th minute of trans jokes.

I've been a bit dismissive about Jay Dasilva as our starting Premier League left-back. After last night, never again. Sorry JDS. 🩵 #PUSB

I'm in this! But more importantly, there's lots of other great critics in there ready to beef up your Letterboxd watchlist.

Just got approached for a really exciting writing commission and, after a very tough week, it has absolutely made my day.

I'd respect Andy Burnham so much if he immediately actioned making Piddington independent from the UK. Turn off their access to the National Grid, ask the county council to stop collecting their bins, bring in border checks to leave. Let them be posh, little racists in the dark.

I just got a press release about a comedy sitcom set at a venture capital firm, produced with AI and written by a "former angel investor". I can't think of anything I'd like to watch less than that.

Well, I think Page Six Reports is a stupid name for a baby, but what can you do when it’s Lady Gaga?

This Reddit AMA with Guillermo del Toro is absolutely beautiful. I've read so many of these where it's all one-word, throwaway answers, but GDT puts real thought and energy into them all like the legend he is. Well worth a read. old.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

Oh good, we're doing the "should the RNLI save migrants?" discussion again. Apparently it's realistic to ask lifeboat volunteers to litigate people's asylum status before deciding whether to save their lives or let them drown.

There was me getting really excited about the bird feeder with a camera my wife got me for my birthday. Turns out I've just got 9.5GB worth of blurry squirrel arse in full HD.

COMING SOON. By dallan_sucks_at_art on IG.

I really enjoyed that show, but there's not a single chance I remember enough of it to appreciate a second season. And there's even less chance I have the time to rewatch it all. How is this even supposed to work?

I wrote about how #wrestling is good. Imagine not liking it! www.voicemag.uk/review/16841...

Ospreay v Omega absolutely delivered. Chaotic, violent, and exquisite in its drama. Everything a stadium main event should be. #AEWAllIn

There's big fight feel, and then there's this. Holy shit. #AEWAllIn

It's time for #AEWAllIn. Sadly not there in person this year, but I'll be loudly cheering for Ospreay's win in a few hours' time.

This smile is very much from before the game. 🙃 Great to have Premier League football at the CBS, even if it didn't go our way today. #PUSB

I took a bit of a deep dive into this whole thing with Andrew Garfield's new movie and Robin Hood. It's a very weird, fascinating story. www.voicemag.uk/blog/16832/a...

As a country music fan, losing Dolly Parton hits hard. We will always love you, Dolly. ❤️

Enjoyed reading this piece this morning about an ongoing copyright/trademark battle over AI brainrot characters. www.npr.org/2026/08/19/n...
