Money, muscles and anxiety: why the manosphere clicked with young men – a visual deep dive

The manosphere is known for misogyny, but that’s not the only thing that influencers in this space offer. Young men explain the allure and the problems of the manosphere in their own words

First LNER train for me today since the attack last month, and there are a couple of security guards on board, unsurprisingly. Any anxiety is lessened by one of them telling "dad jokes" as he walks through the carriage.

This is the story of how a man traded steady, grinding corporate security for a dying craft and, in the process, found his soul.

I just decided to abandon my 1475-day streak on Duolingo, stretching back to 2021. That's roughly equivalent to over 15 solid days of my life translating sentences like 'my dog is unemployed' into French and German. Tant pis.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

CapCut’s policy update raises major red flags for newsrooms

The go-to mobile-editing app for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts has slipped in problematic new terms for newsrooms which risks source safety and surrenders copyright

Ah, the neighbour's 9.45pm Sainsbury's delivery, in all its door-slamming predictability. Not like we have a couple of kranky babies trying to sleep at last. Correction: they're awake now 😩

Richard Tice came to Glasgow today to reveal Reform UK’s latest defectors. It did not go well. Got stuck when the Daily Mail’s Tom Gordon asked him for their names.

Scotland's land ownership debate has made it to the New York Times - one of the best articles I've read on the subject www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/r...

A new land-reform bill aims to unwind a long history of inequality. But centuries of feudalism are difficult to shake.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Looking forward to the @washingtonpost.com’s hot take on the Trump-Zelenskyy debacle. It’s all about personal liberties and free markets, remember?

Absolutely extraordinary to watch a wartime leader - who never left Ukraine even when his life was threatened - being patronised and bullied on live TV by Trump and Vance

A petition has been launched on @ukchange.bsky.social calling on the UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to extradite the Tate brothers from the US. Andrew and Tristan Tate landed in Florida on Thursday in a private jet after flying from Romania.

"He tried" - Trump's response to a question about whether Starmer persuaded him to avoid tariffs on UK. Goes on to suggest again that a "terrific" trade deal is in the works. That remains to be seen.

Trump just cut off Starmer while he was answering a potentially awkward question about Canada - "That's enough" Power dynamics at play right there.

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch

An artist and a visionary. A master of his craft and one of a kind. RIP David Lynch.
