5 h. ago Limitation review – bloodshed and chaos of Georgia’s coup d’etat comes alive from the archive

Seaming together many different records of the civil war in the early 1990s we see a country’s fracture unfold through a crowd of partisan viewsFor those unfamiliar with the dark days of the Tbilisi war in the early 1990s, watching this documentary could feel like diving into the deep end of history. Composed from a wealth of archive audiovisual material available on the internet, Elene Asatiani and Soso Dumbadze’s film is at once passionate and clear-eyed. Apart from reconstructing the chain of events through editing, the directors keep the found footage as it is, with no voiceover added, interviews, or digital manipulation. Their only visible intervention is to categorise the source of each video with small white text that reads “Pro-Government Camera”, “KGB Camera”, “Pro-Opposition Camera” and so on. These labels emphasise how records of history are rarely without bias. Presented with this plurality of viewpoints, we as viewers are granted the power to create our own interpretati...

21 h. ago Here’s a tip: eliminate US tipping culture and pay people a living wage

Our tipping culture was in place long before Trump, but his ‘no tax on tips’ promise – now law – is enabling itI’m here in Las Vegas for a conference where I just paid $7 for a cup of coffee and then was shamed into tipping another $1 to the server for pouring the coffee and handing it to me. Welcome to America. I feel like I’m tipping for everything, everywhere. And now it’s only going to get worse. And for that I blame President Trump.Of course, our tipping culture was in place long before Trump took office. But now that his “no tax on tips” promise became law, our government is officially enabling it. That’s good news for tipped workers and for small-business owners who may feel less pressure to pay higher wages if their workers are getting enough gratuities. But at the same time, it’s bad news for the rest of us who will likely feel even more obligated than ever to tip. Continue reading...

30 h. ago I’m ashamed of my daughter’s messy garden. Should I say something?

Your concern may be an expression of care for your daughter – but you need to dig down into why you feel like thisMy daughter, aged nearly 50, lives in a pleasant cul-de-sac of privately owned houses. Her front garden is the only one in it that, frankly, looks a mess. The grass is never cut because she says it’s eco-friendly and has wild flowers. (Mainly dandelions and three prized wild orchids.) It’s a very small garden and is crammed with untended bushes, fruit trees and a central tree that takes all the light from her sitting room. Recently, she’s been given five large fruit bushes in pots, which straggle over the path. I would be very disappointed if I had such an eyesore next door to me.She’s a single mum with two sons who have recently left school, but she won’t let them tidy up her garden. We live three hours away, but always feel ashamed when we visit and push our way up the overgrown path. Does it matter or are we just pernickety old folk with outdated views? I’d ...

31 h. ago Prince Harry and King Charles reconciling? Their feud was the only relatable thing about them | Polly Hudson

I may not live in a palace but I can say that even my most challenging of relatives has not slagged me off to OprahIronic, really, that something so quintessentially British could be such bad news for the UK. King Charles and Prince Harry met for a cup of tea on Wednesday, and that’s absolutely terrible for the monarchy. The family feud has been their most relatable content in years.This sign that a reconciliation is under way might be heartwarming on a human level, but aren’t the royals supposed to be focused on duty and sacrifice? In a world of “compare and despair” thinking, many were grateful for the opportunity to “compare and say: oh yeah” instead. Every family has its issues, and you could feel better about yours knowing that no one is immune. Also, let’s be honest, there has been a sliver of schadenfreude too, not to mention comfort in the idea that at least we’re not that bad. Even our most challenging relative is unlikely to have published a tell-all book full of varying r...
