'It is absolutely deadly'
Former British army veteran Chris Pennington, who has spent the last few weeks helping with the search for Jay Slater, talks to @richardm56 and @kategarraway about the treacherous conditions of the area where remains have been found.

36-year-old Becky is the 'most tattooed' mum in Britain, with 95% of her skin now covered in ink! And despite having her vagina tattooed, she says there are still some body parts that are strictly off-limits... #ThisMorning @benshephard @catdeeley

Watching Jodie Comer in ‘The Bikeriders,’ “one starts to see a glimmer of something Streepian in her,” writes @rilaws, “a whirring mind and an innate aptitude for transformation.” vntyfr.com/dIQKN7p

@kuzmin__nikita @bbcstrictly I’m pleased for you, but unfortunately I’m afraid I won’t be watching (for the first time since Strictly started) due to the fact that Giovanni will not be appearing. Such a disappointment that it’s come to this.
Good luck.

Very confused by all the beetroot talk in my feed. I've managed to figure out that 'beetroot' is just what Brits call beets, but beyond that, I'm lost. I'll join in anyway: my grandparents loved to make red beet eggs (hard-boiled eggs pickled in beet juice). I never liked them.

@G_Shenanigans_ No but, I go to concerts and I holiday alone otherwise I wouldn't go anywhere. I live alone so it's no different is it? I don't want to miss any more opportunities in life 😊

@jk_rowling I think it's time you got pationate about something else. Life is too short for you to give a sh*t this much. It isn't worth all the anger and hatred aimed at you xx

You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.
I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.
I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, both or not wanting sex at all. I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring. She isn't more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing. What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn't stop her being a woman), is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she's done either of those things, or ever wants to.
Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib.
Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say 'I thought you didn't want to be defined by your biology,' it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don't want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology. It's one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either. Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don't and can't, because we belong to our sex class.
Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren't born. Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it. I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have exactly the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety. I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones literally turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies. I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused, and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people.
I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength. In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation.
I sincerely hope that answers your questions. You may still disagree, but as I hope this shows, I’m more than happy to have this debate.

You should be studied. Because the way you transform your emotions, successes, failures, and every aspect of your life into music, turning your sorrows into something captivating. People eagerly anticipate your music, eager to hear your perspective. You go from being criticized for being too emotional and sentimental to having millions of women relate to your vulnerability and connect through music, creating a beautiful unity. And I think that’s beautiful.

When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it. Post Malone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration. I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets). I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant Rodrigo Prieto on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators: Ethan Tobman (production design), Chancler Haynes (editor), Anthony Dimino (1st AD), Jil Hardin (producer) and Dom Thomas (executive producer). Parliament aced the VFX as always. Joseph Cassell, Lorrie Turk and Jemma Muradian made these tortured looks come to life. The entire crew made this a dream to shoot. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has watched it!!
