But it’s certainly not the prospect of running out of toilet paper in the minimum-security prison where she’s residing.

While most inmates get an allocation of two rolls of toilet paper per week, for example, CNN reports that Maxwell gets an unlimited supply.Arwa Mahdawi is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

4 h. ago Travis Head powers Australia to humbling Ashes Test win over England inside two days

1st Test, D2: Australia, 132 & 205-2, bt England, 172 & 164Opener’s devastating 123 seals eight-wicket victoryThe news from Perth is that the catalogue of great English calamities in Australia has a brand new entry.

5 h. ago ‘I knew I was doing something I shouldn’t’: Karl Ove Knausgård on the fallout from My Struggle and the dark side of ambition

The Norwegian author on his autofictional epic, moving to London, and the psychopath at the heart of his new novelFifteen years ago, discussing the success of his six-volume autofictional work My Struggle on Norwegian radio, Karl Ove Knausgård said he felt as if he had “actually sold my soul to the devil”. My Struggle had become a runaway success in Norway – a success that would subsequently be repeated across the world – but the project provoked anger in some quarters for its portrayal of friends and family members.
