14 h. ago ‘The younger me would have sat up and nodded’: Adolescence writer Jack Thorne on the insidious appeal of incel culture

Researching mine and Stephen Graham’s Netflix drama, I realised the brains of under 16s are unable to cope with ideas as dangerous as those in the ‘manosphere’. The government needs to ban smartphones for childrenTwo and a half years ago, Stephen Graham phoned me up to ask if I was interested in writing a show about knife crime. He wanted to talk about young male violence towards women and he had two stipulations: he wanted to do it in a series of single shots, and he didn’t want to blame the parents.I enthusiastically got involved and suggested we write together. At first, we didn’t know why Jamie, the perpetrator of the attack, did it. We knew he wasn’t a product of abuse or parental trauma. But we couldn’t figure out a motive. Then someone I work with, Mariella Johnson, said: “I think you should look into ‘incel’ culture.” Continue reading...

15 h. ago How can I use up surplus egg whites without making meringues? | Kitchen aide

There’s no excuse for ditching excess egg whites. Use them up in macarons and fritters, to marinate fish and meat, or just in a pisco sourGot a culinary dilemma? Email feast@theguardian.comWhat can I do with leftover egg whites? And don’t say meringues! Billowy meringues may be the most high-profile pal of surplus egg whites, but their circle is far wider and more encompassing than those delicate shells. “My immediate thought is chocolate mousse,” says Oliver Costello, co-owner of Toad Bakery in south London. “White chocolate is quite good here, because the egg whites take its richness down. If you’ve ever had a pot of Milkybar yoghurt dessert, it’s a bit like that.” It couldn’t be simpler to make, either: “Melt white chocolate in a bain-marie or in bursts in the microwave, and whip some cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Fold the melted chocolate into the cream, then whisk egg whites to stiff peaks and fold those in, too.” Chill for three hours, then grab a spoon and dig in, ...

15 h. ago Piper, no! Parker Posey’s viral White Lotus accent is a gift to us all

The actor’s lorazepam-fueled North Carolinian line delivery in the comedy drama series has taken the internet by stormEvery season of The White Lotus has its thing: a moment that takes off and becomes its own monster until long after the end credits roll on the finale. Season one was the suitcase poop scene, an effect so bizarrely groundbreaking that other showrunners wound up publicly musing on how much it must have cost. Season two’s thing was Jennifer Coolidge saying, “These gays, they’re trying to murder me,” which you will see replayed three times a minute whenever you look at anyone’s Instagram stories.It might be too early to definitively state what season three’s thing is – The White Lotus always goes from a standing start to a nutso finale, and we still have three episodes left for things to really ramp up – but there are already a couple of contenders. For a while, it looked like it might have been Jason Isaacs’ penis, until he forcefully shut down the conversation last we...
