‘I’d like to explain why I was such a monster back then’: six writers on the apologies they wish they’d made - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At school, I was not a good girl. Actually, that’s putting it mildly: I was an emotional terrorist hellbent on inflicting torture and humiliation on my year 6 teacher, Ms Hill, one whoopee cushion at a time. That’s how it began, anyway, but like all crimes, mine followed a strategic pattern of escalation, carefully executed alongside my best friend and accomplice. We started small: bringing spiders into Ms Hill’s classroom; writing silly notes on the whiteboard; replacing her precious chocolate
Does Sheinâs market slide spell the end of fast fashion? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a while, it seemed like Shein was set for world domination. The China-founded company heralded a new era for fast fashion, one whereby new items were uploaded within hours, and entire outfits could be bought for under £5. This was fast fashion on drugs, and the high became addictive. In the year to the end of March, Shein had more than 273 million active customers who placed more than a billion orders.

Are neighbourhood WhatsApp groups getting out of control? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I knew it was time to archive the chat when the conversation had descended to pigeon faeces. Having started innocently enough, with one neighbour asking for tips for avoiding it on her balcony, somehow 20 people were suddenly chiming in, sending photos, and making jokes about unrelated birds. It was far from the first straw. Before this, there had been more than 80 messages complaining about how expensive the local matcha bar had become, a debate about the bin room and what to do about the homel
Celebs are dating finance bros? Hereâs what they need to know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beautiful famous women have something new in common beyond the same aesthetician: all of them are âlooking for a man in financeâ. Nicole Kidman has been seen with Michael Reinstein, founder of a private equity firm based in LA; Olivia Rodrigo has been spotted with Julian Croonenberghs, an investor with Hg Capital; and Reese Witherspoon has been dating financier Oliver Haarmann for the last two years. A few years ago, dating a man in finance would've been something women felt compelled to con
