1 week ago Riding high in Germany on the world’s oldest suspended railway

Still gliding above the town of Wuppertal on an overhead track 125 years after it was built, the charming Schwebebahn has lost none of its magicIt’s easy to be seduced by the romance of train travel. Think of sleeper trains, boat trains, vintage steam railways, elegant dining cars. But it’s rare that an urban transport system can capture the imagination quite as much as the Wuppertal Schwebebahn in Germany caught mine, and that of anyone else who’s clapped eyes on the world’s oldest suspended railway.In October it will be 125 years since Kaiser Wilhelm II took a test ride in the Schwebebahn, just a few months before the hanging railway officially opened for business in March 1901. It was an incredible feat of engineering then, and remains so today. Even with sleek modern carriages having long replaced the original ones, it looks like something imagined by Jules Verne, with carriages smoothly gliding under the overhead track. They have even preserved the first 1901 carriage, nickname...

2 w. ago ‘A reflection of who she was’: major Diane Arbus exhibition hits New York

An expansive survey of the photographer’s work lands at the Park Avenue Armory, offering an unusually assembled look at her defining imagesConstellation, the enormous new show of photographer Diane Arbus’s life work, aims to present the artist as no one has seen her before. Embracing randomness, this exhibition of a full set of 454 master prints from Arbus’s only authorized printmaker, Neil Selkirk, tries its best to give audiences a completely unstructured presentation of the photos.“I wanted to make sure that it was as mixed up as possible,” the show’s curator, Matthieu Humery, told me. “I didn’t want to make any specific connections between images. I tried to keep out any kind of narratives so that visitors create their own narratives. There is this magic madness.” Continue reading...

3 w. ago ‘I asked Queen Elizabeth II if she had any advice for me’: Jacinda Ardern on her time as a pregnant prime minister

In an exclusive extract from her new memoir, the former New Zealand PM remembers coping with pregnancy while new in the job – and what the monarch said to her• ‘Empathy is a kind of strength’: Jacinda Ardern talks to the Guardian’s editor-in-chiefThere was one cheerful and imperfect baby blanket that stood out when it arrived in the post. It was made up of 24 squares, bright blocks of colour, each crafted with simple, uneven purl stitches. Looking at it, I could imagine the small hands still learning to master their needles and could almost hear the adult voice leading them. “The prime minister is having a baby. Shall our class make a gift for her family?”The response to the announcement about my pregnancy in January 2018 was almost overwhelming. It began with so many emails. In the 24 hours after the news broke, the person who managed correspondence for me said she’d never seen such an influx. Continue reading...

3 w. ago Have you looked at images of Gaza on Google Maps? You should | Arwa Mahdawi

If you don’t trust Palestinians, maybe you’ll trust Google Maps. Satellite imagery shows the extent of the devastationA picture says a thousand words. And the imagery slowly seeping out of Gaza tells a story that many politicians and media figures are still doing their best to ignore or obfuscate. Updated satellite imagery on Google Maps of the devastated region, drone shots of dystopian aid checkpoints, and military maps of so-called “safe zones” make it increasingly hard to argue that Israel’s military “operation” (to use a sanitizing word the media is incredibly fond of) is about eradicating Hamas. This isn’t an operation – it’s a cremation: one with the ultimate goal of eradicating not just Palestinian life in Gaza, but Palestinian identity altogether.First, though, I want to stress that there still isn’t a lot of imagery coming out of Gaza. This is by design – and something I wish more of my colleagues in the western media were outraged about. Israel has not allowed foreign jou...

3 w. ago The Spin | The summer of 2005 without Pietersen? Imagining World Test finals of the past

Ahead of next month’s match at Lord’s, we work out who would have reached previous finals and how history may have been alteredThis, dear reader, is the 1,126th edition of The Spin. For the past 23 years it has been a weekly source of news, views and automated data about the unread message count in the deleted items folder. As such it is hard to find new journalistic frontiers. But, in the face of some molten competition, this week’s Spin stands alone as the nerdiest, the most anal, the one grounded furthest from reality.We say this not to boast, only to flag that it may not be for everyone, and that we feel for those unfortunates whose neurological disposition means they have precisely no interest in imagining what a World Test Championship final might have looked like in May 1989.
