6 d. ago Cluster headaches are ‘the most painful condition on the planet’. Sufferers are going to extreme – and secretive – measures for relief

The condition is more excruciating than childbirth or gunshot wounds, but little understood. An online community of ‘clusterheads’ are self-experimenting with psilocybin – with promising resultsPeter was working late, watching two roulette tables in play at a London casino, when he felt something stir behind his right eye. It was just a shadow of sensation, a horribly familiar tickle. But on that summer night in 2018, as chips hit the tables and gamblers’ conversation swelled, panic set in. He knew he only had a few minutes.Peter found his boss, muttered that he had to leave, now, and ran outside. By then, the tickle had escalated; it felt like a red-hot poker was being shoved through his right pupil. Tears flowed from that eye, which was nearly swollen shut, and mucus from his right nostril. Half-blinded, gripping at his face, he stumbled along the street, eventually escaping into a company car that whisked him home, where he blacked out. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Post Malone at Coachella review – chameleonic megastar wows in the desert

Empire Polo Club, Indio, CaliforniaThe 29-year-old singer travelled through his genre-shifting back catalogue in a charming and energetic 90-minute headliner set Three songs into his Coachella headliner set on Sunday, Post Malone asked his band to stop and restart. It wasn’t that he’d made a mistake; rather, he had to get serious for a second. “How the fuck is everyone doing?” he asked, before reiterating for the second time already how thankful he was, how he hopes “everyone is taking care of themselves and having a great fucking night.” The 29-year-old singer, so adept at shape-shifting that he has bounced from trap to hip-hop to pop to rock to country in less than a decade, maintains at least one consistency: with an exceedingly foul mouth and a beer in hand, he will always be polite. He will check in. He will refer humbly to the “ladies and gentlemen”, even when asking “how fucking bitchin’ is it to be able to come here and play for you tonight?”That warmhearted goofball from hi...

PSG’s winger makes up his own moments – and he scored a beauty to set Luis Enrique’s side on course for victoryIt took three minutes of the second half for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, perhaps the most watchable footballer in Europe right now, to confirm the way this game was going.Unai Emery had sent on Axel Disasi for Matty Cash at the break, with the score 1-1 and PSG hugely dominant on every metric. Cash was effectively doomed in this game from the moment he was booked pulling Kvaratskhelia back, just trying to stop the pain on Aston Villa’s right side, and already facing a case of terminal neck-crick from staring down at those shuffling feet. That was Cash’s fourth foul with just 17 minutes gone. Tick tock. Continue reading...
