36 h. ago I can’t stop watching videos of people discovering Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil. Send help

Like all good addicts, I couldn’t tell you how much time I’ve spent with First Time Hearing clips on YouTube. They sucked me in and didn’t let me goRead more in the Internet wormhole seriesOh the pleasant pain of waiting impatiently for someone to understand the point! Oh the power of dramatic irony; the smug joy of knowing something they don’t.Oh how I wallowed in these feelings and more, when YouTube sucked me into a genre I had previously known nothing about: First Time Hearing videos, where people film themselves watching the music video of a song they’ve never heard before and grace viewers with their impromptu reactions, thoughts and facial expressions.

43 h. ago Shows such as Stranger Things and Yellowjackets have become bloated. I’m all for the one

Fans who moan when a show is axed after its first season should be careful what they wish for. If only my TV obsession had ended a long time agoIt’s an all-too-familiar feeling. The second series of your favourite TV show has just begun streaming and your mind is full of hopeful expectation. Season one ended sooo perfectly: future plotlines were teased tantalisingly and a main character had – cliffhanger! – been offed (or had they?) In the months since the finale, you were perusing Reddit threads with other hardcores to find some Easter egg clues illuminating what would happen next.And then season two’s premiere is a damp squib.

Cut to the second episode, and your favourite cast member has done something that you and Reddit user Fishy2345 agree is totally out of character.

Swap in, swap out and, above all, enjoy this punchy, filling and thrifty dishNo-waste cooking comes in many forms. It doesn’t have to mean cooking banana peel. To me, it means finishing a bag of potatoes before they grow eyes, and making the most of that last awkward bit of cabbage. Even finding a cheeky new way with the sauces and condiments already in the fridge. Using ingredients you’ve already got to make a new recipe is, in my opinion, the most “no waste” of them all. So here’s permission from me to make substitutes – herb for herb, veg for veg, or anything you’ve already got – to make this recipe work for you.Join Meera Sodha at a special event celebrating the best of Guardian culture on Wednesday 26 November, hosted by Nish Kumar and alongside writers Stuart Heritage and Tim Dowling, with Georgina Lawton hosting You Be The Judge live. Live in London or via livestream – book tickets here. Continue reading...
