      Panti Bliss: ‘The gays will never forgive me for that’

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 18 January, 2025

    Irish drag performer and LGBTQ+ activist Rory O’Neill AKA Panti Bliss on Beyoncé, why Australia is so annoying about coffee, and pestering Madonna for a lift

    What’s the best piece of advice you have ever received?

    There’s a saying that I first heard said by RuPaul: what other people think of you is none of your business. That is something that has helped me loads over the years. I get a lot of shit from the far right and I think it could have bothered me a lot more at times if I didn’t remind myself of that saying. And I like it because it’s not saying “ignore what other people say”; it’s almost giving you a telling off – it’s just none of your business . I think it makes it much easier to move through the world and not give a shit what other people think.

      Letter to Los Angeles from another disaster zone

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 18 January, 2025

    A physician from North Carolina talks about what survivors share: layers of losses, insurance battles and a long recovery

    Watching the images of fires burning in and around Los Angeles is very triggering. I’m sure it is the same for many of my neighbors in western North Carolina. It has not been that long since Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic flooding that devastated our communities, and it is not over for us.

    At first, you are energized to do what is needed to be done in the moment. But, then, you are left with emptiness, exhaustion, pain, trying to regain something resembling what has been lost.

      Harlequins see off Glasgow to reach Champions Cup knockout stages

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 18 January, 2025

    • Harlequins 24-7 Glasgow
    • Cunningham-South scores first of three Quins tries

    A Champions Cup of modest returns for the English was at least given a fillip by Quins. This reasonably comfortable win over Glasgow across the road from where the Calcutta Cup will be contested next month put the home team through to the last 16. No one will particularly relish a visit from one of the game’s more waspish teams, but it is fair to say any further progress will require an improvement on this.

    Glasgow, champions of the United Rugby Championship, no less, were not quite there all evening. Perhaps they were thrown by loss of Sione Tuipulotu to an injury this week in training, which threatens his participation in Scotland’s Six Nations campaign. They scored an absolute beauty in the first half, as waspish a side as Quins, but they could not rouse themselves to score again.

      Ollie Watkins completes comeback as Aston Villa dent Arsenal’s title bid

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 18 January, 2025

    As Mikel Arteta knows only too well, it can only take the finest of margins to settle a Premier League title race. With his side leading 2-0 against Aston Villa thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz, the Arsenal manager must have felt they were within touching distance of a cathartic victory.

    But having seen leaders Liverpool seal a dramatic late victory over Brentford earlier in the afternoon, once again Unai Emery had other plans against his former club. Arteta could only watch on in horror as Youri Tielemans pulled one back before Ollie Watkins volleyed home the equaliser. Even when it seemed Arsenal might have won it late on through Mikel Merino, their joy was short-lived as VAR ruled Havertz had diverted the Spaniard’s effort with his arm to ensure this was another two points dropped in their pursuit of Liverpool.

      The Traitors shows how herd mentality tramples on our basic instincts | Martha Gill

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 18 January, 2025

    In the hit TV reality show, as in life, we like to think we are autonomous. In fact, we follow the herd

    What explains the stupendous success of The Traitors ? More than 9 million people tuned in to the first episode of this, its third season, and last week it overtook Strictly Come Dancing to become the BBC’s most watched reality show. With this sort of trajectory, I’m afraid we must prepare for thousands of imitators to follow in its wake. So what should they be trying to do?

    Part of the attraction of the show is its host, Claudia Winkleman , who presides over the setting – a luscious castle in Scotland – in the manner of a campy gothic headmistress: talking softly to owls, ruthlessly ordering contestants into coffins and gunge, and all the while managing to navigate the set through the tiny sliver of daylight between low fringe and high roll-necked jumper.
