3000.jpg

Guapo’y review – the scars of Paraguay’s past revealed through healing plants

2807.jpg

At once understated and emotionally shattering, Sofia Paoli Thorne’s documentary begins with an image of healing. The camera lingers on the back of a woman, as she applies herbal remedies to her back, flecked with faded scars. This, however, is no casual nighttime routine; now in her 60s, Celsa was once imprisoned in the notorious […]

How much do you love your children? With prom season approaching, it’s time for more competitive parenting

4200.jpg

When our kids are small, parents flex at each other over things such as food (crisps or not?), toys (wooden or plastic?), screens (none or loads?) – we’ll compete over anything. The toddlers don’t notice; they’re too busy squabbling over every resource that isn’t infinite. That’s why everyone in this bracket always looks so tired. […]

America’s problem is massive inequality – not ‘woke’ educated elites

5475.jpg

More than a third of Harvard’s graduating seniors are heading into finance or management consulting – two professions notable for how quickly their practitioners “make a bag”, or make money, reports the New York Times. Similar percentages show up in other prestigious universities. Frankly, if anything, I’m surprised that only a third of graduating seniors […]

‘I wouldn’t call it a victory’: Fossil Free Books organisers on Baillie Gifford’s exit from literary festival funding

5898.jpg

Until earlier this year, novelist and film-maker Omar Robert Hamilton didn’t know what Baillie Gifford was – it was just “two words that [he’d] seen on top of things for years and years”. While aware that it sponsored some literary organisations, Hamilton didn’t know whether the investment management firm “was a drink or a bank […]

It is not difficult to see why Gareth Southgate has worried and, as England count down to their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia on Sunday night, why he […]
