We can't stop talking about...
We're quenching it
Thirst

Glen Powell and his ilk have muscled out the softbois to become this summer's favourite flavour of leading man. Hunks? For horny season? Groundbreaking.
Spicy reads  
Steamy book sales have doubled. After weeks working her way through romantasies and romcoms, Zoe Williams gets it.
Party deeds  
Tina Horn has been to plenty of orgies – "they’re everywhere" – and she's here to tell you what they're really like.
Iceland speeds  
Romance in the tiny northern European nation is all about poolside dates and 'sex before coffee'.
Eat this

Congratulations to Australia’s first Vice President; get well soon to this street and good luck to this haunting black mould infestation that is no longer featured in JK Rowling’s profile picture. We’re all climbing the walls!
  
In reading material: Roxanne Gay shares her TikTok habits, chefs who like to Live Laugh Love, Sloane Crosley mourns her cat and everybody misses house parties. Except for the people partying in LA.
 
And finally, props to straight men as we see out the Olympics.

A film – killer set  
Our review called Trap a mess – but did you expect anything less from M Night Shyamalan??!! It's a serial killer at a mega-star concert - and it's campy and hammy as that sounds. In cinemas.

A book – under threat  
New Animal author Ella Baxter is back with Woo Woo, a scene satire about an artist haunted by a stalker. Among its targets: Tabis, Rembrandt, mullets, magazine editors. It's all fury and flair.

A show – the best yet  
Julia Torres's sketch show Fantasmas features Siri-esque robots, a gay club for hamsters, a Crayola factory, and every cameo under the sun. It breaks all the rules – and is better for it. On Binge.

An album – break a sweat

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis . It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
