Objectively poor political commentary on ITV right now. Jon Champion argued that President Claudia Sheinbaum is very unpopular in Mexico. Sheinbaum has approval ratings that Keir Starmer could only *dream* of ever achieving in government. Stick to the football, @JonChampionJC.

Kate Greenberg’s tribute to Awdah Hathaleen at our protest on Monday with Mi-neged. Awdah was murdered by a settler in the occupied West Bank on that same day.

Another music department earmarked to go. This is a really big deal. Cardiff's Music department is large, well-resourced, and much esteemed. If Music can go at a Russell Group university like this, then no course is safe. walesonline.co.uk/news/educa…

As people properly eulogize the weird and amazing work of David Lynch, I’d like to give a shout-out to the often-overlooked “The Straight Story,” one of the most profoundly humane films I’ve ever seen, and all the more surprising coming from Lynch.

The guest list for this fancy 1972 dinner for Yevgeny Yevtushenko is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Would you prefer sitting at the Bernstein/Arendt/Gay Talese table, or the Updike/Cheever/Ginsberg table? Or maybe the Dylan/Corso/Vonnegut table? Thank you for the image, @Samantharhill!

That some have dared to compare the events in Amsterdam with the Pogrom night in Germany 86 years ago when my father was imprisoned and tortured and hundreds of Jews lost their lives is an abomination. The very opposite of Holocaust commemoration.
Legitimate question: What I explained to several media channels is that the Maccabi supporters deliberately started the riot in front of central station returning from the game. They came from two directions. Lit heavily fireworks at Damrak and gathered in front of the hotel. From there they attacked one or two Amsterdam citizens, hit them. The men escaped. And the Maccabi supporters gathered back into the group. From there they went into the city. In this incident: misinformation by BILD . @BILD
