The U.K. goes back into lockdown this week — but in some cases, it still makes sense to plan for when restrictions go away. One British luxury train, in particular, certainly requires early booking. This month, the Belmond British Pullman was named the best luxury train journey in the world by Condé Nast Traveler’s 2020
Harrison Ford and George Lucas have taken some time to pay tribute to the late great Sean Connery. The iconic actor, and first James Bond, passed away over the weekend at the age of 90.

The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Hate in the Homeland (Princeton University Press, 2020) shows how tomorrow’s far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from

US chip giant Intel is finally gaining some telecoms credibility, having been picked as a partner for Dish’s greenfield 5G network. Intel is not exactly synonymous with telecoms. For years it tried to make a chip you could put in a phone but they were always rubbish compared to those made using the Arm microarchitecture.

Columbia Hillen Reading about the recent death of Sean Connery, the Scottish actor who helped launch his ‘James Bond 007 MI6 secret agent’ character to such worldwide popularity, I’m reminded of a sudden surprise that awaited me at The Balmoral hotel in Edinburgh.

This is Wait, What?, a column that explains the seemingly incomprehensible. When I heard that a Russian oligarch known as “The Sausage King” was killed in the sauna with a crossbow, my first thought was: “Aw man, I miss going to the sauna.” (COVID-19 has put a stop to my favorite weekly habit, seeing as

Rebel Wilson took on 2020 as Rona Warrior Princess over the weekend. The Halloween costume also displayed the actress’ weight loss from this year, while demonstrating how good she is with a pair of nunchucks at the same time.
