Ederson was beloved by City fans for being a maverick and played a key role in the team’s serial title wins. Just 32, relatively young for players in his position, a dalliance with a move to Saudi Arabia last year and the interest of Fenerbahce – the club he has joined – hastened his exit.

Things that some of us thought could and should have been solved haven’t been solved. Things that some of us thought would show signs of progress haven’t progressed. In many ways, wherever we look – locally, nationally or globally – there are things that have got worse. I don’t need to list them.I’m going to make a big claim: we can’t do anything about the things that bring us down if we are oppressed and depressed by them. We have to have hope. We need to be hopeful creatures in order to live. No matter how much events seem to point towards despair, telling us to be pessimistic, I think we have to find strategies and techniques to be hopeful. In spite of everything, we have to find reasons to go on. As someone once put it in a book, “...

In this week’s newsletter: T he platform has shaped how music is consumed a nd how it is valued. But recent controversies suggest the bargain may no longer feel worth itAt the moment, the Spotify exodus of 2025 is a trickle rather than a flood. A noticeable trickle, like a leak from the upstairs bathroom dribbling down the living room wall, but nothing existential yet. The five notable bands who have left Spotify in the past month – shoegazers Hotline TNT last week, joining Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, Godspeed You! Black Emperor (GY!BE) and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – are well liked in indie circles, but aren’t the sorts to rack up billions of listens. Still, it feels significant if only because, well, this sort of thing wasn’t really supposed to happen any more.Plenty of bands and artists refused to play ball with Spotify in its early years, when the streamer still had work to do before achieving total ubiquity.

7 d. ago Transcendence for Beginners by Clare Carlisle review – a philosopher’s guide to enlightenment

Can we experience something bigger than ourselves in the midst of busy, humdrum lives? Some philosophers find inspiration in mountains, such as Nietzsche, and some in caves, like Plato. Clare Carlisle found hers in a cave halfway up a mountain.It happened 20 years ago: walking on a Himalayan path, she met a holy man who lived in a cave nearby. Not your stereotypical sadhu, he didn’t have matted hair and wasn’t semi-naked but wore nice trousers and an acrylic pullover. Nor did he have any obvious wisdom to impart; at the last of their three meetings, he and Carlisle mainly got stoned and giggled about the chicken-like patterns on a cushion she had brought him as a gift. Yet, after leaving, she felt a “yearning” for something that they had shared: a sense that there could be a more “noble” way of living, or that we could experience “transcendence”, a higher perspective on life.

8 d. ago Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?

When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?When the annals of 2025 at the movies are written, no one will remember The Electric State. The film, a sci-fi comic-book adaptation, is set in a world in which sentient robots have lost a war with humans. Netflix blew a reported $320m on it, making it the 14th most expensive film ever made. But it tanked: though The Electric State initially claimed the No 1 spot on the streamer, viewers quickly lost interest. Today, it doesn’t even feature in the company’s top 20 most viewed films, a shocking performance for its most expensive production to date. It became just another anonymous “mockbuster”, crammed with the overfamiliar, flashy signifiers of big-screen film-making: a Spielbergian childhood quest, a Mad Max post-apocalyptic wasteland, Fallout-style retro-futuristic trimmings.Another way of classif...

Ella Balinska is excellent alongside Delaney’s disembodied voice, but it’s a shame the film isn’t as sharply sketched as they areHere is a survival sci-fi thriller in which Abby (Ella Balinska) is trying to save the life of her sister, who is stricken with apparently terminal cancer. Abby’s tenacious sense that the possibility of a cure exists is the major guiding force behind a narrative that goes to some strange and unexpected places. For most of the run time, Abby is trying to return home from the site of a helicopter crash in the remote wilds of of Georgia, where the odds of survival are minimal and her only companion is the disembodied voice of comedian Rob Delaney, who plays a pilot – or is he? – who has also crashlanded somewhere in the wilderness.Delaney, best known for his work in comedies such as the excellent Catastrophe, gives an excellent voice-only performance, but it’s Balinska’s show, and she delivers the kind of turn that made Sigourney Weaver a legend in Alien: bra...
