High-functioning anxiety is the silent battle of the perfectionists and seemingly balanced people who are exhausted from managing their inner turmoilHigh-functioning anxiety is a term that describes a paradox faced by many. On the outside someone may appear to have everything under control, but inside they're battling a relentless undercurrent of worry, fear and doubt.Unlike other forms of anxiety that can cause obvious disruptions to everyday life, high-functioning anxiety often goes unnoticed by others, sometimes even by the person experiencing it.

We never know who is going to rule, but the beauty of democracy is that we know we can always get rid of them. So why wouldn't we fight like blazes to preserve it?Before he faced the crowd to discuss the topic of Democracy is Not Worth Dying For, David Runciman - the celebrated podcaster and Cambridge professor of politics - joked to me and our fellow panellist, Masha Gessen: The answer is obviously no, it's not', so why don't we all just agree and go home?"Gessen, the formidable Russian-American journalist, smiled in agreement. We were about to address the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney. Most had come to hear these intellectual superstars define the limits of political self-sacrifice; I cheerfully served as a bolt-on historian. Continue reading...

Republicans who have refused to bend to Trump insist the GOP can be rebuilt - but if he wins, all bets are offThe former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney hopes to be able to rebuild" the Republican party after Donald Trump leaves the political stage.

The proliferation of opinion polls on the presidential election makes it seem more like a sport involving personalities, when what these surveys should be doing is targeting policiesIn Washington DC, I measure out my life in polls and heart palpitations. The polls are relentless, nail-biting, maddeningly contradictory. There are national polls, swing state polls, polls from tiny counties that predict a whole election, partisan polls designed to demoralise the other side.There are polls on whether a candidate inspires confidence, compassion, leadership. I've noticed how, after a bad poll, I start looking for another that tells me numbers I like. I've also noticed how, after a good one, I will look for a bad poll to bring me down, as if I'm trying to prick the balloon of self-confidence and remind myself of reality". Continue reading...
Since the US supreme court banned affirmative action, university enrollment for students of color has droppedSince the US supreme court banned affirmative action in college admissions in June 2023, US colleges and universities have grappled with how to boost campus diversity amid recent, troubling data.The latest figures on US college admissions at some major universities have shown drops in Black, Latino and Indigenous first-year enrollment. Such enrollment fell sharply at elite, private colleges such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University and Stanford following the ban on race-conscious admissions, according to preliminary, self-reported data. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a prestigious, public university, also reported that Black and Latino student enrollment fell, by at least 25% and 7%, respectively. Continue reading...

We must fear for freedom of the press under a second Donald Trump administration. Just consider what we already knowBack in early 2016, as Donald Trump ran for president, he issued a warning that sent a chill down the spines of journalists and press advocates.After ranting about the New York Times and the Washington Post at a Texas campaign rally, Trump predicted that traditional news organizations would have big problems if he were elected. He planned to open up" the libel laws, so that when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money". Continue reading...
Robert Smith, defiant leader of the post-punk stalwarts, has shown that secondary markets can be bypassed, enabling ordinary people to benefit from cultureThe first time I saw the Cure was on 29 April 1984. The Birmingham Odeon show opened with a set from rural Worcestershire's pre-Raphaelite goths And Also the Trees, whose early albums remain a guilty pleasure, and about whom I once sent a self-aggrandising letter to ZigZag magazine. The Cure's set drew heavily on the dark post-punk fundamentalism of Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography, but previewed eight songs from the unreleased The Top, evidencing a worrying drift towards melody, not what the 15-year-old me wanted at all.The ticket cost 4.50 and I bought it before Andy Anderson, who was black, was announced as the new drummer. This was lucky, as my family discouraged me seeing bands with black members. I remember making the case for Big Country, despite them having a black bassist, because of their reliance on a bagpipes-styled guitar sound. I think UB40 slipped under the net because even gran loved that Neil Diamond cover.

The Republican contender is a clear and present danger to the UK's most vital national interestsIt is a shocker that about 100 current and former Labour party staffers are hopping over the pond to campaign for Kamala Harris in swing states as the race for the White House enters the final, feverish furlong. Ameasly 100? Is that the best they could do? Labour will often manage to get more of its people knocking on doors and handing out leaflets for a humdrum British byelection in which nothing more is in play than who gets to be MP for Slumberborough. Much more is at stake in a US presidential contest that, with fewer than 10days to go, the polls have as a coin-toss.Only Americans get to vote, but the world will have to cope with the consequences if Donald Trump again darkens the door of the White House. The fate of Ukraine, the future of Nato, the stability of the global economy, the response to the climate crisis, the cohesion of the democracies in the struggle with an axis of autocracies, and plausibly even the freedoms of America itself, all this is on the ballot in 2024. Given the vertiginous scale of the stakes, you might argue that it is remarkable how few Labour people are volunteering to help out their fellow progressives across the Atlantic. Continue reading...
Our kids have embraced body positivity, but has diet culture merely been replaced by the quest for flawless skin?I didn't see the aurora, but I tried. At 10 or 11pm, I looked out of my bedroom window and squinted, and saw only darkness, but even so I found some lovely pleasure in it. The knowledge that something was happening in the sky, that all along my road people were standing in their gardens and angling their cameras towards the same big tree, and afterwards scrolling to see what they'd caught, sharing them on the street WhatsApp at midnight with pride. The next day, news sites reported on the northern lights as if they were young women getting out of cars - they stunned", radiant". I liked the way we were all united briefly in our lazy pursuit of beauty.Elsewhere in my life, the search for beauty feels more treacherous. My daughter, 10 years old, went to a birthday party last week where she told me every other gift her little friend opened was a bottle of moisturiser. It should not have been a surprise, perhaps, having read about the rise of the baby and child skincare market", expected to reach $380m in market volume by 2028, but still, I found myself oddly troubled. I am fully and intimately aware of the lure of skincare, both the appeal of a daily routine (whether three or 15 steps, whether retinol or oil) and the sense it can give us of control in a time of chaos, but alongside that the capitalist creep, the repackaging as self-care, skincare as a kind of psychic protection, is something I know young girls might find particularly appealing. What troubled me the most in this instance, though, was the realisation that while my daughter and her friends are fully versed in the language of body positivity", understanding, for example, that diversity is a good thing and that fat bodies aren't unhealthy, no such movement has really broken through about skin. In fact, as beauty journalist Jessica DeFino stresses, diet culture has been replaced by skincare culture. Continue reading...

Heart-popping excitement (my own, and maybe yours too) greeted the musician's surprise appearance last week on Radio 4's Today programme, speaking to presenter Emma Barnett.Bush, 66, was talking about her new four-minute animation, Little Shrew. Inspired by the horrors of war, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict in particular, playing through it is the track Snowdrop from her 2011 album 50 Words for Snow featuring her son Bertie's vocals.

Trump came across as old and unintelligent, but he was politically unscathed by a softball interviewIn an interview in which Donald Trump said that he wants to be a whale psychologist", made the case for replacing income tax with tariffs and praised Confederate general Robert E Lee as a genius", the most striking thing about the former president's encounter with podcaster Joe Rogan wasn't the content as much as the length.Over three hours, perhaps the longest ever campaign interview with a presidential candidate, Trump said very little that was factual but revealed a surprising amount about his disposition and his thinking should he return to office.

The US remains a great country with many strengths and many problems - and Trump is not the answerIt ain't over 'til the fat lady sings" - that well-known if dated American sporting adage - may afford Kamala Harris a little comfort in the final, testing days leading up to the US presidential election on 5 November. The contest is too close to call. That has been the case for weeks, if not months. The latest national poll averages, putting Harris and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, on roughly 48 points each, confirm it. The deadlock extends to the seven most closely fought battleground or swing states.And yet, in recent days, the impression, the feeling, the fear - call it what you will - has been growing that Trump may have the edge. Maybe the Democrats are scaring themselves unnecessarily. Maybe it's media hype. Maybe it's true. What is certain is that this nail-biter is going down to the wire. We hope, when it's over, that there will be plenty to sing about - and that Harris will become the first woman and woman of colour to be elected president of the United States. Continue reading...

During the past few weeks, they have been pummeled with $280m worth of election ads blazing on their TV and computer screens, part of an eye-popping $2.1bn spent so far on the US presidential election.Pennsylvania is one of the seven battleground states that, when it comes to choosing presidents, can seem as revered as the seven wonders of the world.

Failure to contain the conflict has led to huge suffering and geopolitical shifts. Why didn't the US commit to Nato?Reflecting the instincts of a cold war veteran, Joe Biden's strategy was familiar: contain the conflict. When the US president spoke in Warsaw in March 2022, a month after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he drew a red line at Vladimir Putin's toes. Don't even think about moving on one single inch of Nato territory," hewarned.The western allies would provide weapons and aid to Kyiv, impose sweeping economic and financial sanctions on Moscow and reduce the rouble to rubble", Biden vowed. Though Ukraine is not a Nato member, the US would help the country win this symbolic battle for freedom and democracy. But it would not directly confront Russia unless Russia first attacked Nato.

The paper itself has exposed the story behind its editorial refusal to endorse any candidate in the US presidential electionThe theory is that journalists should report the news rather than headline it - but on Friday the Washington Post, the celebrated ally of American democracy during Watergate, broke that principle. The paper came out refusing to endorse the candidate in the forthcoming election who will defend the rule of law, against the convicted criminal who has shown time and again - not least on 6 January 2021 - that he explicitly aims to overturn it.The Post's British chief executive, Will Lewis, wrote an editorial that stated the Post would sit on the fence for the most significant US election of modern times (bringing to mind that old truth the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to donothing").

As a former senator, I've seen how major parties conspired with the military to manipulate elections and crush opponents. This can't go onFor most of its history, Pakistan has been ruled by military dictators. Brief democratic intervals were only possible because the military became so hugely unpopular that it was left with no other option than to temporarily cede space to democracy. The last military dictator was forced to quit in 2008, and Pakistan has since seen the longest spell of civilian control in its history. Instead of moving forward, it has slid backwards, and was downgraded last year from a hybrid" to an authoritarian" regime. Its electoral process and its democracy have lost all credibility - not only in the eyes of ordinary Pakistanis, but in the eyes of the world.We didn't get here overnight. In Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, one character asks another How did you go bankrupt?", and gets the famed reply: Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly." In the past decade or so, all major political parties in Pakistan have participated in the gradual decline of its democracy. In their lust for power, they have conspired with the military, using its influence to manipulate elections and crush political opponents. In doing so, they have helped to undermine the rule of law, democratic norms and the country's constitution.Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar is a former senator in Pakistan. From 2009 to 2013, he served as the adviser to the prime minister of Pakistan on human rights Continue reading...

We asked a group of Black Britons, some famous, some not: who do you most revere as a chronicler of the Black journey, in Britain and abroad?The first book I read by Paul Gilroy was There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack. I was 19 and studying fine art at Goldsmiths, and it turned my head like nothing before. For a young person looking for answers and clues, to have that sort of book was eye-opening. It uncovered and revealed things. And then I read his masterpiece, The Black Atlantic. It was huge. His ideas about modernity and double-consciousness represented a major shift in thinking throughout the world. That book spoke to so many people. Continue reading...

This blog is now closedKamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied at 48%, according to a new poll by the New York Times and Siena College.Published on Friday, the poll, the poll also revealed that 31% of registered voters view Trump as very favorable while 29% view Harris as very favorable.Ms Harris's position, if anything, may have declined among likely voters since the last Times/Siena College poll, taken in early October. At the time, she had a slight lead over Mr Trump, 49 percent to 46 percent. The change is within the margin of error, but The Times's national polling average has registered a tightening in polls over the past few weeks as well, suggesting at the very least that this contest has drawn even closer.I don't think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her so that's good."I think she is doing what she needs to do, and...a number of the voters who were at [the CNN] town hall have said she convinced them, that she had shown the kind of empathy and concern about their problems, that she had come forward with her ideas, her suggested policies.
