I thought UK would be the only happy political news this year but no, it’s UK, France, Možemo, Niš, and Čačak.

Spotifaj’s AI DJ is giving me a mix of Thelonious Monk and early 80s Yugoslavian synth pop and I’m saying yeah, you finally learned the job, robot boy.

It was a life changing moment when I learned to do crispy tofu in the oven.

It’s ok to like France again.

Let’s raise a glass to the people who push in front of you to get on the bus first and then start rummaging through their pockets for whatever they will be using to pay the fare.

£270 million spent on the now binned Rwanda scheme. That's a lot of public money for a bunch of soulless chancers to shell out just to perform to a gullible public their ability to be cruel to people in need.

It should have been easy to predict that there would be torrential rains because I just bought a wireless speaker for music in the garden.

Culture wars are an instrument to persuade people whose greatest fear is that their society might become more democratic to forget about their material interests.

Anybody who thinks that a choice between the right wing and someone else is a “hard choice” has never been Jewish.
