Photo: RoadsideFlix/YouTube Emily the Criminal has an awfully cute title for a movie so bubbling over with rage. Paired with the fact that its star is Aubrey Plaza, an actor best known for her comedic deadpan, it might bring forth thoughts of twee adventures into minor misbehavior and eventual redemption — as though Emily the Strange grew up and started dabbling in delinquency. But there isn’t anything remotely cloying in how writer-director John Patton Ford’s lean, effective debut treats its title character’s journey into credit-card fraud. To make that clear, Emily gets her face smashed into a car door early in the movie. After her first experience as a “dummy shopper” for a gang of credit-card thieves goes well — $200 to buy a flat-screen using a stolen number — she signs on for something trickier. She’s sent to a car dealership knowing she has only eight minutes to get away with the vehicle before the bank calls back to let the owners know the charge isn’t legitimate. As she … [Read more...] about Isn’t Interested in Empathy

Emily Gasztowtt was at home, in Switzerland, when a message flashed up on her phone from her brother, Charlie, in Oxfordshire. It was 7.30pm on a Tuesday night, in December 2019, and Charlie was at his desk, checking the last of the day’s emails, when a banner, from an auction site, appeared at the bottom of his screen. He regularly bought from fine art auctioneers but this painting, a fruit bowl in blue acrylic, looked familiar. ‘I clicked through and there it was,’ he recalls. ‘A picture I’d often admired in Emily’s home.’ He messaged her: ‘Are you selling your Roy Freer?’ ‘Nope,’ she replied. What happened next unravelled an audacious art heist leading back to one thief: a removals man, Martin Bateman, who had packed up Emily’s home three months earlier. In doing so, she became the last in a long list of victims to find their most treasured artworks and priceless family heirlooms looted and consigned to auction to line the pockets of a criminal they’d unknowingly let into … [Read more...] about ‘We hunted down the removal man who stole our family fortune’

More info When coronavirus first came to the UK in early 2020, it caused very distinctive symptoms; namely, a dry and continuous cough, and loss of sense of taste and smell. As a result of this unique combination of symptoms, it was relatively easy for someone to determine whether or not they had COVID-19. However, fast forward to August 2022 and things are much more difficult. Today, COVID-19 shares much of its symptoms with common illnesses such as cold and flu. The best example of this is how Covid has now begun to cause a symptom common to those seasonal bugs which normally peak in the winter.

Serena Williams’ announcement of her plan to retire from tennis feels like the end of sport as I know it. I do not remember a sporting landscape without her. As children, my elder sister and I would pick a Williams sister to back in the Wimbledon final (I was always Team Serena). To us, a final with both Venus and Serena felt simultaneously special and inevitable, it happened so often during our formative years; they contested four at the All England Club – in 2002, 2003, 2008 and 2009 – with Serena winning three of them, much to my satisfaction. Serena was a huge part of helping me feel like I belonged when watching male-dominated sport channels. From the first time I saw her bound on to the court in her beaded braids, her mesmerising power and the way she hammered down aces changed the way I viewed sport forever. I do not think it is a stretch to say it changed the way many of my generation did. Her mighty fist pumps and unapologetically loud “come ons!” said I am here to take … [Read more...] about Serena Williams will forever be the GOAT even though Margaret Court has more grand slams

THE sweltering nation’s prayers were finally answered as the heavens opened. Three days of thundery downpours are now forecast to end weeks of tinder-dry weather , but flash floods could be on the way. Bone-dry Britain will finally get much-needed downpours this week — just days after The Sun organised a rain dance. But experts fear it may make little difference to the water shortage as it could be the “wrong sort of rain”. Weather warnings are in place for almost the entire UK, with forecasters warning that some areas could even see flash floods. The Environment Agency also claimed the drought could continue into next year as reservoir levels are so low amid the lengthy dry spell and record temperatures.
