OK I'm ready to say it: Barbie is not very good, and America Ferreira's "empowering" monologue is the absolute pits. I mean what kind of washed up version of feminism is this? Aren't we meant to have realised by now it's hard to be a man too? Maybe it's just hard being...a human?

Taken the kids to a playground in Suffolk. Football shirts spotted: Ipswich Town, Liverpool, Barcelona… Al Nassr.

It would be a tired cliché for me, a Londoner, to say the Ashes wash-out shows we must never place things of national importance in the north. So instead, I will say, as a Yorkshireman, that the Ashes wash-out shows we must never place things of national importance in Lancashire

So jarring to see the once proud @Reuters news agency offering to help companies "align" their "climate narrative" ahead of COP28. The world needs major news organisations to be holding corporate polluters to account -- not volunteering to greenwash them.

Glad it wasn't just me who thought this year's headline acts were rubbish - wish other media commentators had courage like @ludohunter rather than customary Glasto fawning

Read this @FTMag piece about decades of alleged misconduct by a feted giant. Every editor should be so lucky to ride shotgun w/ @miss_marriage @antoniacundy & @pcaruanagalizia, & to have the resources, support & guidance of @khalafroula to do fearless work enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/52faa28…

This column, on how push-buttons are better than screens, is premised on the idea we must make it easier for drivers to take their eyes off the road while steering a 2-ton machine in proximity to other humans, at 100km/h. So they can adjust the radio. 🤯 on.ft.com/3nKaKay

My @MiddleEastEye update on the situation in Sudan, as fighting continues in Khartoum and Omdurman, in South Darfur and West Darfur. The BBC has reported the death in crossfire of pioneering actor Asia Abdelmajid. Am told Khartoum now totally lawless middleeasteye.net/news/sudan-asi…

I first wrote for Vice in 2008. It was a huge part of my life for a number of years and I made a lot of friends who did a lot of good work. The people at the top of the company leeched off this work. Their greed and duplicity made this final fall all but inevitable

1/22 This is Svetlana Maniovich. She is your guide to the world of extreme Russian glamour. She radiates richness. Diamonds, furs, Rolls Royces - she has it all and more. In summer you can find her in St Tropez where she rents a villa for €150k/month, or on a yacht in Naples🧵

Vladimir Kara-Murza's final statement to the Russian court. This is bravery and leadership personified. This statement will go down in history like Martin Luther King’s letter from Birmingham jail. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Amendment to the online safety bill proposed by Tory MP for Dover Natalie Elphicke would see footage that shows people crossing the English Channel in small boats in a “positive light” branded illegal. The amendment will be introduced when the bill goes before the House of Lords

(There is a separate point about the lack of women in finance minister roles, though Spain/ECB/IMF jobs all have women at the top)
