The book-lauding bits of Robert F Kennedy Jr's chest, a minor earthquake has struck the literary world. Olivia Nuzzi, a former New York magazine journalist, has penned a memoir that has left many scratching their heads - particularly after reading the sentence in which Kennedy Jr. describes throwing himself onto a bed and unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his favorite parts of Nuzzi's chest.
As a result, mockery in the press has reached fever pitch, with some writers rallying around Nuzzi in an attempt to defend her work. Monica Lewinsky and Amanda Knox have offered words of support for Nuzzi, who was previously praised as a good writer at New York magazine. However, it is unclear what exactly sparked this reaction - perhaps it's just the desire to distract from Kennedy Jr.'s questionable behavior.
Meanwhile, Olivia Nuzzi has been accused of using her memoir to say something trenchant about the world at large. While it's admirable that she tried, the execution falls short. Her writing can be described as feverishly hoping for flight, with long paragraphs and a desperate attempt to turn an embarrassing story into something meaningful.
On a separate note, R F Kuang has pulled out of the Emirates airline festival of literature in response to calls from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The UAE has been criticized for its human rights record, including restrictions on homosexuality and the treatment of women under male guardianship.
In other news, David Dimbleby has released a new series about the royals, which has been well-received by critics. The first episode features Dimbleby's trademark wit and charm as he teases politicians and gets stuck into some interesting topics - but one can't help feeling that there's more to this show than meets the eye.
Finally, Keir Starmer was spotted enjoying a state banquet at Windsor Castle alongside Claudia Schiffer, which is certainly a pleasant change from his usual demeanor. It's nice to see him having fun, even if it's not exactly what you'd expect from a politician - but one can't help but wonder if he's just trying to draw attention away from some of the more... contentious issues he's faced in office.

. I mean, I get it, she's got a great story to tell, but does it have to be told with such... enthusiasm? 
The way she writes about her experiences can come across as a bit desperate, like she's trying too hard to make a point. And Robert F Kennedy Jr's behavior is just plain weird 
.
. The UAE has some serious human rights issues and it's not right that we're celebrating literature in a country that's been accused of such things. 
. I love his wit and charm, but there's definitely more to this show than meets the eye 
. And who knows, maybe Keir Starmer is just having a nice night out with Claudia Schiffer 
? Either way, it's nice to see politicians letting their hair down every once in a while 
.
. Have you seen that new Dimbleby series about the royals? I'm low-key obsessed! He's got such a great way of poking fun at politicians without being mean-spirited. And can we talk about Keir Starmer for a sec? I love seeing him relax and have some fun, even if it's not exactly his usual vibe.
. We need more people like her using their platform to make a difference. Oh, and that Emirates festival of literature withdrawal? Yeah, I wouldn't attend either 
.
. And can we please stop pretending like Kennedy Jr's behavior is the real issue here? It's just a juicy scandal, folks! Meanwhile, I'm more concerned about R F Kuang bailing on that festival because of the UAE's human rights record 
. At least she's got some spine for once. And what's up with David Dimbleby's new show? Is he trying to distract us from something or is it just a clever PR stunt 
.
gotta respect them for standin up 4 their rights tho 
lol maybe hes just tryna distract frm his gov issues but who knows, maybe he jus wants 2 be seen in public 
i mean i feel for her trying to make something meaningful out of it but girl bye. on the other hand r f kuang is a total legend 
gotta keep an eye on him and see if he's just being his usual charming self or if there's something more to it
