this is Albert the Fifth Musketeer erasure www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

text: Dumas’s book has been adapted for the screen numerous times over the past century, with d’Artagnan being played by actors including Douglas Fairbanks, Michael York, Chris O’Donnell, Logan Lerman and François Civil. The character was also reimagined as the eponymous, sword-wielding beagle in the early 1980s animated series Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds.

Gwyneth catching absolutely brutal strays from Marina Hyde here www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Text: Anyway: conscious uncoupling. Back in the day, you'll remember, Gwyneth and the Coldplay singer deployed this particular phrase when announcing their marital split. Did the public love it? They did not. The general vibe - as with so much of Her Vajesty's output - was that she would do even marriage failure more smugly and unachievably than mere plebs could ever. The pivot from gushing about her perfect marriage to gushing about her perfect divorce felt like mere days
