    ‘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)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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 Shein’s market slide spell the end of fast fashion? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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.

    When you tell someone you’re going on holiday, nobody ever asks why. Unless you happen to be going on holiday alone, and then it’s almost always the first thing they’ll say. The words are usually accompanied by pitying eyes and a concerned tone of voice, because if you’re going away alone, the assumption is that something has gone terribly wrong.

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? Here’s what they need to know (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Beautiful famous women have something new in common beyond the same aesthetician: all of them are “looking for a man in finance”. 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
