Wonderful and moving tribute by @timadamswrites.bsky.social to Rachel Cooke, the brilliant Observer journalist who also frequently lit up the pages of the Guardian Weekly, who has died at the age of 56.

I cannot believe I am just now learning that Bill Nighy has an advice podcast, whoever failed to inform me about this is fired
Ah Bill Nighy.
I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? “You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There’s only two kinds of politics these days, and you can’t breathe the same air as the other kind.”
Bill Nighy has started giving advice to people.

fascinating that Bill Nighy gets what a lot of romance authors do not.

Thoroughly enjoyed this whole interview but also slightly surprised that I appear to be married to Bill Nighy.
thank god for bill nighy
This is a wonderful read with poignant replies and a whole bunch of charmingly British fashion opinions. Bill Nighy should do this on a regular basis, this is delightful.
@jeffrivett.net there are half a dozen laughs in this, what a treasure Bill Nighy is
This is a delightful interview, you should read it. Lucky Miranda Sawyer, who got to 'waste some time' with Bill Nighy.
This whole article is beautiful 🥰
Bill Nighy, eloquent and hilarious.
“Also, how clever is anyone supposed to be? How interesting is anyone supposed to be? Just open up your heart and let him walk around there for a while.”
There is no better way to “squander” your time than this delightful interview with Bill Nighy ⭐️
More weekly brilliance from @lauracummingart.bsky.social her description of Prince dancing is worth the price of the Observer on its own
Pete Townsend and Prince in this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ show from the great Arthur Jafa at Sadie Coles HQ and Karma Ashadu at Camden Arts Centre...loved these shows @theobserveruk.bsky.social @timadamswrites.bsky.social

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

I adore Bill Nighy, this is such a great interview
The inimitable Bill Nighy, agony uncle, on boring friends, football fans and tge optimum colour of sock. In the @ObsNewReview ://observer.co.uk/culture/interviews/article/what-shorts-should-i-wear-the-shorts-that-go-down-and-arrive-at-your-shoe
It's Bill Nighy, so obviously it's a joy, but there's also some brilliant advice in here: observer.co.uk/culture/inte...
Which is what he said
Having conducted the interview with Nicholas I would say he was agnostic about statue-toppling and (carefully) certainly not simply against. But I guess we all read what we want to hear.
I've long felt that the generosity of Cosey Fanni Tutti's work is overshadowed by the 'transgressive' reputation of TG, and that her art / porn actions and music have been rather siloed. It was a pleasure to try and put that straight in this profile for The Observer

I wrote an opinion column for the Observer! I never do opinion columns but I was just really annoyed by cultural vandalism and Kemi Badenoch.
