David Attenborough is 100 years old and still seems more alert, curious and alive to the world than plenty of people half his age. He’s like the planet’s calmest, most softly spoken lighthouse 🌿

Years ago, we emailed him at the New Statesman to ask if he’d take part in a guest edit. Back came the reply, in its entirety: “No.”

Perfect. No greeting, no sign-off, no cushioning whatsoever. Just one word, dispatched with the confidence of a man who’s probably never once worried about email etiquette and I hope, never will.

Andrew Marr has reviewed a semi-fictional account predicting how a future Reform government would unfold in this week’s NS.He says it is thrilling – and chilling.I don’t think I could read even a fictional account of this possibility but I’m very glad that @paulcopyrightdavis agreed to illustrate it. I think he needed a lie down after all the to-ing and fro-ing I made him do but he’s captured this abomination of a man rather brilliantly I think 👏

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
