Layoffs, deaths and the usual collection of reviews, interviews and think pieces await you.

It is an absolutely bafflingly insane time to be plugged into the news on a daily basis right now. But let’s try anyway.

If you were anything like Clark Burscough, I’d have something to like about you: here’s this week’s links.

If you press your ear firmly to the ground, you may yet hear the thundering hooves of 2025’s best of the year lists drawing close.
