I prescribe Ralph Vaughan Williams on repeat, and a cup of tea. Look at the leaves. The world turns. And buy Bitcoin, obviously.

Danish TV's new Vinterberg series is amazing, but can't help feeling would be even better as a comedy: Denmark unviable due to sea rise; hapless dad supports ever-growing extended family. Gay couple see Reading as nirvana. David Dencik as furious goblin. Lovestruck teenagers.

1) To talk more quietly in restaurants. 2) Don't wear shorts in restaurants. 3) Remove your baseball caps when you sit down to eat. 4) Yes, that is the portion size. 5) No, you're not allergic, just picky. 6) Condiments? Mustard. 7) Yes, that's the drink size. 8) Dogs allowed.

Unique among Camille Pissarro’s views of the Square du Vert-Galant in Paris, this work depicts a stream of pedestrians one morning in 1902. Figures in worker’s garb rub shoulders with top hatted flâneurs; near the centre is a man in a blue artist’s smock, a stand-in for Pissarro himself.

Probably only because they are indicating in the correct manner on roundabouts, it's just that the Danes don't understand.

Greatest album of the decade. I'll fight you.
What a way to celebrate #NationalAlbumDay and 30 years of @suedehq's Dog Man Star.

I've noticed something new with ChatGPT: instead of hallucinating random nonsense answers, its hallucinations now seem to derive from your previous question and its answer, as if it really is eating itself at increasing speed. Deeply weird.
