Wrote about an iconic time in music, and hoping for more chaos in pop, for @guardianmusic theguardian.com/music/articl…

Watch me work it, I’m perfect! The return of electro-house, pop’s trashiest, brattiest sound

Mutating out of trance and electroclash in the 00s, the subgenre soon topped the charts – and thanks to Charli xcx, Saltburn and more, it’s back for another round of alcopops

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

I spoke to a casting director and body image researcher about why we’re seeing fewer regular-looking faces on our screens, and why shows need individual – and believable – characters dazeddigital.com/beauty/arti…

TV needs to adjust its beauty settings

What happened to textured skin, misaligned teeth, receding hairlines and sweaty complexions?

i hope this whole grok situation highlights to anyone who was in doubt that none of the big voices on the right care about protecting women and girls. their priority has and always will be themselves and how far they can push their far right propaganda.

‘Girlbossing my way through stoppage time’: some words on the Halo debacle, and why female sports fans deserve better, for @GlamourMagUK glamourmagazine.co.uk/articl…

Sky Sports' Halo was a disaster. When will women be taken seriously as football fans?

Halo was marketed as the “lil sis” of Sky Sports.

Dr. Saya Aziz has been volunteering in Gaza since Sept. 9. She says she’s lost count of how many limbs she’s had to amputate without adequate medical equipment. Dr. Aziz spoke to AJ+’s @Dena about the horrors she’s seen.
