spring pd - golden hour in the weeks before solstice (photo taken at 8.30pm - the light😍!) - one of the best things abt being freelance is having the opportunity to try expensive restaurants via the affordable weekday lunch menu. Pictured: fallow. - a fave from the Rauschenberg exhibition - detail of cool artwork from Nick Smith, created for Trussell Trust to auction off. When you see it in person you only see the squares and text - But when you pull back it looks like a pixelated soup tin - another lunch menu - Bibendum, which I found out is also the name of the Michelin man (seen here on the butter dish. Restaurant is also in former Michelin building). - ok fine I admit it I didn’t mind the Harmony Korine art exhibition - view from Blackfriars bridge - Barbara Kruger exhibition (like the work, bad show though)

THIS IS MADE WITH AI: Deepfake of Nigel Farage & Keir Starmer beefing on Minecraft has fooled a LOT of people. The voices are generated AI recreations, and the faces have had the mouths manipulated to match the speech. From the new Pod Save the UK with @cocobyname & @MrNishKumar .

I’ve written today’s tv cover - an interview with Gentleman Jack / Doctor Foster / Vigil actor (and icon!), Suranne Jones, about her new C4 doc on witch trials. We cover the resurgence of mysticism, being a trans ally, and why she needed to start her own production company to finally be given her dues. Link via my Guardian author page (in bio!)

Yesterday I started a new gig, as one of Newsnight’s new ‘cast’ of commentators (the new format launched this week!). Obviously it’ll be a lot of politics given the election but also hoping to bring my culture/features journalism to the show if I can. Watch this space! And don’t worry, I’ll only be on once or twice a month, so I won’t be able to fully lower the tone with Fast & Furious references 😂

Incredible to win host of the year at The Podcast Show yesterday 🥹 The UKAN awards are particularly special as you can’t put yourself/your show forward, so to get this endorsement from my peers out of the blue, after only a year of podcasting is just wow 🥹😭🏆🥇💕 Also, tres chic trophy no?! (as modelled by my colleague Niccy)
