The opening song on Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl references the character Ophelia from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, who faces a tragic fate. According to the song’s lyrics, Taylor “might’ve drowned in the melancholy” if she hadn’t been saved by her true love. “I heard you calling / On the megaphone,” Taylor sings. “You wanna see me all alone.” The lyrics appear to be a nod to Travis Kelce calling Taylor out on his New Heights podcast for not meeting him at her Eras Tour, which is how their romance began.  “I swore loyalty to me, myself and I,”…

Of course there have been inevitable (and not entirely unfair) jokes about The Rock running for an Oscar since The Smashing Machine was announced, but Safdie and Johnson certainly make a compelling case for it. While even a wig and some prosthetics can’t hide his incredibly recognisable visage, there’s a delicateness and vulnerability Johnson brings to the role as well as obvious physical command that combine into a mesmerising and empathetic character study.

These credit allocation facilities were unwarranted and unwise. One such facility was the Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF), which loaned money to state and local governments. In my recent AIER White…

Ange Postecoglou refused to bite back at the Nottingham Forest fans who taunted him with chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” during the Europa League defeat to Midtjylland tonight. Postecoglou has not won in six games since replacing Nuno Espirito Santo at the City Ground and had to listen to disgruntled fans call for his dismissal as the Danish side won 3-2. Forest were made to pay for some lax first-half defending that saw Ousmane Diao and Mads Bech score from set-pieces either side of a Dan Ndoye goal for the hosts. The home side poured forward in…
