One of my favourite moments reading a novel is when, perhaps only a few chapters in, you get the distinct feeling that you are in capable hands. You trust the author. The prose is exquisite. You feel heady. It’s a little like falling in love.

The community worker and chief executive of the Women’s Justice Network (WJN) had arrived to pick up Tania*, a prisoner who was being released at 4pm. But by 5pm there was still no sign of her. As the sky began to darken, Larman started to worry. She’d organised to take Tania to a rehab centre, which had a strict 8pm curfew. If she missed it, Tania had nowhere to stay.

As the saying goes, it’s the cover-up, not the crime. And so it has fallen for US President Donald Trump, found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal that threatened his ascent to the White House. He likes the phrase, America First. Fitting, perhaps, given he is now America’s First Felon President.

This week an AI-generated image of refugee tents in Rafah went viral. You probably saw it on your Instagram feed. You might have shared it. We did. There was some controversy around the image. Some people described it as performative and compared it to the black squares that populated social media during the Black Lives Matter protests; others took aim at the fact that it was created by artificial intelligence.

We’ve all heard of ‘It bags’ and ‘It shoes’. But the past year has given rise to an unlikely new cult accessory: the ‘It’ belt.

Scrolling through this year’s Oscars coverage, I did a double take on Emma Stone.

It wasn’t just me who thought that Stone’s teeth looked suspiciously perfect.
