6 h. ago In a time of hate and rancour, two Jews sought to pray – and were killed. Let Manchester be a turning point | Jonathan Freedland

This was a horror but amid rising antisemitism, no one can say it was a surprise. There are lessons to learn, and that must start nowIt was the Jewish New Year last week, when the traditional greeting is shana tova: a good year. This time around, you’d often hear it in adapted form, as Jews wished each other something more modest: “A better year.” As if, given the times we live in, “good” would be too much to ask for; as if we ought to scale down expectations. It turns out we didn’t scale them down enough.I was in synagogue when word spread of the murderous attack at Heaton Park in north Manchester that left two people dead, along with the killer. Yom Kippur is rightly described as the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, but it is also a moment of vulnerability. Those who follow tradition, and that includes plenty who wouldn’t describe themselves as believers in God, do not eat or drink for 25 hours; many switch off their phones, and don’t watch TV or listen to the radio; they engag...

For many gen Xers, it feels like we’re sliding back towards the land of our childhoods: where eating out was for special occasions, and Thermoses were kingIt was only a chain-store coffee.A morale-boosting one, bought for consoling purposes on the faintly weepy way home from dropping our precious firstborn off at university; but still, just a takeaway oat-milk latte from a bog-standard roadside chain somewhere in Berkshire. The shock was that it was over £5.Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

24 h. ago ‘Planetary health diet’ could save 40,000 deaths a day, landmark report finds

Diet allows modest meat consumption and would also slash food-related climate emissions by half, says report by 70 leading experts from 35 countriesAdoption of a plant-rich “planetary health diet” could prevent 40,000 early deaths a day across the world, according to a landmark report.The diet – which allows moderate meat consumption – and related measures would also slash the food-related emissions driving global heating by half by 2050.

Food production is also the biggest cause of the destruction of wildlife and forests and the pollution of water. Continue reading...

36 h. ago Heard of aztec broccoli? Let me tell you about my favourite new superfood ... | Adrian Chiles

A few months ago I was unaware of this leafy, fast-growing vegetable. Now I’m growing it, recommending it – and giving away as much as I canMy neighbour Sharon was having no luck growing broccoli. So I gave up growing broccoli before I even started. If she couldn’t, I wouldn’t. Then she gave me six little plants, something called, mysteriously, aztec broccoli. It’s not actually broccoli, she told me. The plot thickened. Not being the kind of horticulturist who likes to get bogged down in details, I bunged them in the ground and hoped for the best. Before I knew it, they were knee, waist and then head high. A jungle was taking shape. It was time to start eating it.It’s always nice to come across something not that many people seem to know about. I got shakes of the head from a friend with a marvellous allotment in York; a seed supplier from Suffolk I sat next to on a train to Swansea and a woman who won nearly every prize at a horticultural society event to which I’d been invited to ...

Playing the oft-reviled subgenre of psytrance, this Bristol event is celebrating its 25th year. Amid the UV paint and crochet frog hats, we find out why it’s thrivingSaturday’s sunset has long gone, but there’s so much UV paint glowing in Bristol nightclub Lakota that I feel I might end up with a tan from it. A throng of ravers throw shapes while a shamanic selector, flanked on stage by two dancers, pumps out squelchy beats. Colourfully daubed faces light up with joy and arms swirl into spacey lasers, ready to break through into a different dimension. For one night only, I am an initiated member of the Tribe of Frog, a Bristolian club night that’s been putting on mind-boggling parties like this for the last 25 years.To mark the occasion, the team has gone mad as a box of proverbial amphibians with the kaleidoscopic decor, but the soundtrack is the same as ever: psytrance. This is a 135bpm-plus, four-to-the-floor, knowingly melodramatic, multi-layered offshoot of trance with mesmeris...
