I will read any article written on men and reading, but in particular this is a good intro into bookish social media and certain men are changing things for the better. thetimes.com/us/news-today/…

The Amazing Generation comes out in the UK Jan 8. Here's a great article telling the origin story of the book, by @willpavia at @thetimes thetimes.com/life-style/par…

A generous invitation from a Sunday night football team, The Flamingos, offering the next mayor @ZohranKMamdani a spot in the back line. We play round the corner from the Gracie Mansion thetimes.com/article/59996e…

How “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan went from a struggling actor living in a one-bedroom apartment to the recipient of an unprecedented $1 billion television contract. @willpavia trib.al/BmTVrLZ

Well written by @willpavia thetimes.com/culture/music/…

@everturningtide @thetimes Though I do think it's fair and proper to describe what someone looks like now, when you meet them, how they come across etc, particularly in a piece that is partly about fighting ageing and trying to return to the way you sounded at 25

@everturningtide @thetimes Thanks Jayne. I hope I can age shame equally, though I only did it here in the service of the kind of joke that may only funny with men who are rock and roll stars and hold a semi-divine status among their fans

He’s the lead singer of one of the world’s legendary arena bands, but a problem with his vocal cords meant his career was suddenly in jeopardy. At 63, Jon Bon Jovi is finally ready to rock again #Echobox=1762588999-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/culture/music/…

@JonEForeman @StephenKing I don't think I say anywhere in the piece that this is the first adaption of The Running Man. I knew about the Arnie version. I must admit though that I have heard from a few of its fans since the piece, asking why I didn't mention it

A shame that no-one told @willpavia before or after his interview with @StephenKing that #RunningMan has been adapted for the screen before - in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role. It was relatively low budget but really pretty good. #basicresearch

Harper Lee's '50s short stories, published tomorrow, are wonderful. There's one about attempting to sweet talk her way out of parking ticket by quoting Victorian literature. Sadly, the NYPD officer is unmoved thetimes.com/article/b4ff7d…

A good Cindy Adams gag, at the bottom of her column today

The cameras roll, the back of a lorry opens and out comes a swirl of dry ice and a silver DeLorean. “And this guy jumps out and he goes, ‘MARTY!’ ” says Michael J Fox. “I’m, like, ‘Holy shit!’" It was wonderful to chat with him thetimes.com/article/1d9148…

I talk to @willpavia in @thetimes about the UN, #peacekeeping, #WorldWarIII and why people don't think enough about the Universal Postal Union @UPU_UN. thetimes.com/us/american-po…

I've spoken to some brilliant comedy writers about the Jimmy Kimmel suspension, and how writers will respond thetimes.com/us/american-po…

I spent the day outside Bruce Springsteen's old bungalow, hoping to spot the Boss returning, as he apparently does each year, to solemnly contemplate the place where it all began. It was just me and about fifty other people thetimes.com/us/news-today/…

Tough out there in publishing. It’s murder

Comet? UFO? Astronomers puzzle over fastest object in solar system thetimes.com/article/2720cb…

How to talk, or at least understand, Alpha. (£) thetimes.com/us/news-today/… Excellent by @willpavia What I like is that there is a kind of logic behind it all, so it's possible to get the answers in the quiz.

All these young men have moustaches. It is not Movember, it is not even Maugust. I've conducted an investigation, including a possibly doomed attempt to go undercover, as it were, by growing one myself thetimes.com/us/news-today/…

@j_amesmarriott Not sure I should be reading this on my phone

Probably one of the most prophetic paragraphs of the twentieth century - from Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985)
