IQ is a great indicator of intelligence, in that the second you see someone obsessing over it online, you can usually conclude they’re dumb as rocks.

The wild thing about this is that Starmer, once the top lawyer in the UK, is just plain wrong about this. The equality act is clear about this and there are multiple examples of case law stating exactly that trans women have the right to use single-sex spaces aligning with their gender identity.

Thinking again about how Al Pacino filmed the entirety of his Shakespeare documentary, Looking For Richard, while wearing, backwards, a baseball cap he got from the set of Scent Of A Woman.

Two weeks ago, I became the centre of a baffling panic among the online Men's Rights community. I wrote this to say how weird, stupid and depressing that was, but also that I haven't given up on people just yet.

Had no idea you knew him, he's an absolute treasure and I'm sad I only got to know his work after he'd died. I love A Goat's Song above all things. (I even had it as my pick for A Good Read on Radio 4 last year, which you can find below).

Every time I see Americans start back on the 'gifted student' discourse, I count myself lucky that my schooling in Derry exclusively involved teachers who would've sooner guzzled a yard of their own shite than tell a smartarse they were special.

There are a few slots free for Fence #21 (September) and we want on-the-ground snapshots of unexplored subcultures and fizzy scandals from underreported industries. If that sounds like something you've got in your back pocket, PITCH. editorial@the-fence.com the-fence.com/pitch-guide

Who says there's no such thing as a bad idea?
For the past week we've been asking dozens of journalists the worst pitch they ever sent. Their answers did not disappoint.

The fact that we only see internal videos of IDF war crimes because the soldiers involved think they're funny and share them too widely, and that this happens so often that we end up seeing dozens of these videos every month without fail, makes me feel completely insane.

My all-time fave Fence piece might be MONKEY TENNIS, in which journalists told us the worst pitches they ever pitched.
As you can read below, it was a massive success, so I'm delighted to say WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN.
So. JOURNALISTS. What's your worst ever pitch?

On the delights of suddenly having no childcare, and resenting my toddler for wanting to spend more time with me than her new nursery. (Since this was filed before all of last week's palaver, I also refer to the last column as "sappy". Little did I know.)

Literary festivals are wonderful, but framing Fossil Free Books as their anonymous wreckers - while lionising investment funds - is an unconvincing narrative.

Back when Bewley's Cafe was a worker-owned co-op, the George's St branch was where they put all the old staff who didn't want to retire. If you were a skinny young student like me, you could go in there and they would put SO MUCH food on your plate you could live for a week.

This quote will be fun for our children to think back on, as they paddle through lukewarm arctic seas on rafts they've made from the sun-bleached bones of polar bears.
