I've just heard Anthony Head has sadly passed away. I spent a lot of time with Tony during the Little Britain tour and he was as lovely and charming as I hoped he would be. Funny, warm generous, great actor with perfect timing... an all round good egg.
R.I.P. Prime Minister.
I’m shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and one of the most extraordinary drivers in NASCAR, @KyleBusch . Kyle was such a great guy and such an incredible driver. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
Sorry but if I was Head of Delegation for the UK I wouldn’t have my act sitting on his own at the top of the Jury show (when points matter) and them having to be adopted by lovely Denmark after the flag parade. Thank you to the Danes. Sam we support you…

This is beautiful. Heartwarming videos are coming out of Vienna at the peak of Eurovision week, with people showing their support for Israel.
At a time when it matters most, these people are giving us so much hope.
Lufthansa's marketing & brand team deserve a raise. They absolutely nailed the launch of the special 100th anniversary livery fleet. Just look at that Boeing 747 paint job—simply gorgeous. Even the controller says, "Nice paint job!"
Thank you for everything Katie 💜
After 13 years at the top level which saw two Olympic, seven World, a Commonwealth and 21 European titles, Katie Archibald has announced her immediate retirement from cycling.
Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska solved a problem that had puzzled mathematicians for over 400 years. Even Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton couldn’t crack it.
We live in a three-dimensional world, but Maryna solved a puzzle in an eight-dimensional space—something that’s very hard even to imagine.
She was born in Kyiv, studied at Taras Shevchenko University, worked in Bonn and Berlin, and at just 33 became a professor in Lausanne.
So what was the problem? It’s about how to pack identical spheres as tightly as possible in space. This question was first asked by Kepler back in 1611. Over time, scientists found answers for two and three dimensions—but not for eight.
Maryna proved that in eight dimensions, the densest packing is formed by a special mathematical structure called a lattice. What’s even more amazing is that she did it in just 23 pages, while earlier attempts took hundreds.
In 2022, she was awarded the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics. She became only the second woman in history to receive it.
Today, Maryna Viazovska works in Lausanne, supports Ukrainian mathematicians, and brings pride to Ukraine with her achievements.
