In the 2010s, hundreds of Britons travelled to the Middle East to fight for ISIS. Four terrorists with English accents, who carried out executions on camera, were nicknamed “The Beatles”. It was a time of national security risks and – for neuroscientist Dr Leor Zmigrod – a “huge puzzle.

미국인은 저녁을 일찍 먹고, 이탈리아인은 늦게 먹으며, 스페인인은 그보다 더 늦게 먹는다. 영국에서는 계층 문제까지 더해진다. 저녁을 늦게 먹을수록 상류층이라는 인식이다. 아무튼 잠자기 최소 3시간 전에는 젓가락을 내려놓으라고 전문가들은 조언한다. 저녁을 언제 먹는 게 가장 좋으냐는 질문만큼 문화적 맥락이 깊은 생활 습관도 드물다. 국가별 고정관념부터가 그러하다. 미국인은 저녁을 일찍 먹고, 이탈리아인은 늦게 먹으며, 스페인인은 그보다 더 늦게 먹는다. 영국에서는 계층 문제까지 더해진다. 저녁을 늦게 먹을수록 상류층이라는 인식이다. 이른 저녁은 저녁 시간을 여유롭게 써서 무언가 할 수 있게 만들어주고, 반대로 늦은 저녁은 그 자체로 이벤트가 되기도 한다. 그렇다면 건강 관점에서 ‘저녁 식사에 가장 좋은 시간’이란 게 있을까? 일종의 답은 있다. 미국 서던캘리포니아대학교 장수연구소 소장 발터 롱고에 따르면, 확실히 지켜야 할 한 가지는 잠자기 최소 3시간 전에는 식사를 마치는 것이다.

Though the timing of dinner might be a cultural hot potato, no meal summons up views as divergent as breakfast. The popular imagination – with a little help, over the years, from cereal companies – often views it as “the most important meal of the day”. And yet many of us skip it entirely, and subside off coffee until lunch.

Manosphere. Thanks to the success of Adolescence and the malign ubiquity of influencers like Andrew Tate – who was recently charged with rape and human trafficking by British prosecutors – the word squats ominously in the headlines and tumbles from the lips of concerned TV panellists on a seemingly daily basis. Author and journalist James Bloodworth has a better idea of what it means than most.

Te pasas la vida concibiendo tu primer álbum y sólo tienes un par de años para el segundo. Pero los mejores segundos discos superan esa presión con creces. Indican que una banda o un músico no son flor de un día, que tienen profundidad y variedad o, si son una propuesta con un sonido muy propio, que es lo bastante bueno como para retomarlo. ¿Pero qué significa un segundo álbum sólido? Varias cosas.

It was a meeting with Nick Drake that got Jacob Alon on the path to becoming a folk singer. Not a flesh-and-blood meeting, given the folk legend died in 1974, but a trip on dark web magic mushrooms during lockdown, after Alon, who is non-binary, had dropped out of university for the second time and felt disconsolate and directionless.
