Monica and Garcie opened up their relationship – but only one of them is interested in extramarital dating

If anything, my affairs enrich our relationship. I feel more confident and sexy, and I bring that energy home

I helped set up Monica’s dating profile, and initially found it very exciting

We can now start sowing lettuce, radishes, chard, spring onions, beetroot, kale and more, for summer harvest

There are two dates that herald the beginning of spring. The one determined by astronomy is the vernal equinox, when the sun is exactly over the Equator and day and night are of equal length – that falls on 20 March this year. But I’m more of a fan of the meteorological calendar, which marks spring’s return sooner, on 1 March – today. As auspicious as the equinox can feel, I’ll always opt for calling in spring as early as reasonably possible.

No matter when you mark the return of spring, the long, dark months of winter will soon be behind us and sunlight hours will increase day by day. With the light comes more warmth, signalling to dormant trees, bushes and seeds that it’s time to consider waking from their winter slumber. It’s the arrival of these optimal conditions that means many seeds can be sown around now – lettuce, radishes, chard, spring onions, beetroot, kale and more – to be harvested come summer.

The first all-female private flight into space funded by the Amazon tycoon’s Blue Origin company has little to do with female empowerment and a lot to do with PR

A pop star, a TV host and a billionaire’s fiancée walk into a private rocket ship. The pop star turns to the others and asks: “Is this what feminism looks like?” According to the space technology company Blue Origin, owned and founded by the Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

On Thursday Blue Origin announced it would be launching the first-ever all-female commercial flight to space with a crew of astronauts including US singer Katy Perry, the morning news host (– and close friend of Oprah Winfrey – Gayle King and Bezos’s own partner, the journalist Lauren Sánchez, who reportedly organised the mission, which will happen sometime this spring.

As AI grows increasingly prevalent, some are showing their children tools from ChatGPT to Dall-E to learn and bond

Jules White used to believe his 11-year-old son needed to know how to code to be successful. Now, though, the Vanderbilt computer science professor says it’s more crucial for James to learn a new, more useful skill: how to prompt artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots.

Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in 2022, White has been showing his son the ropes of generative AI. He began by demonstrating to James how ChatGPT can create games using photos of toys on the floor of their house. Later, White exposed him to AI’s hallucinatory flaws by having his son debunk ChatGPT-generated world record claims with verified information from the Guinness Book of World Records. After more than two years of experimentation, White’s son, now in fifth grade, has learned how to integrate AI into a range of everyday activities, from crafting study materials to determining the cost of shoes without a price tag.

Key question owners have to answer after axing coach Matt Beard despite handing him one of smallest WSL budgets

The imposing image of Liverpool sitting 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League and powering towards a record-equalling 20th top-flight title brings into sharp focus the comparatively dishevelled sight of the club’s women’s team.

Sitting 25 points off the pace in the Women’s Super League, having waited more than a decade to lift a major trophy and almost 30 years without reaching a Women’s FA Cup final, a club that once took a proud role in the women’s game remains light years away from emulating their men’s counterparts, and are now entering a critical phase in their history as they search for a new manager for the first time in four years.

Back home there was widespread support for Ukraine’s president, but also dismay at his car-crash encounter in the Oval Office

• Live reaction to Zelenskyy’s clash with Trump and Vance

Ukrainians have rallied behind Volodymyr Zelenskyy after his mauling on Friday in the White House, and have accused Donald Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, of deliberately and cynically “starting a brawl”.

There was widespread support for Ukraine’s president at home and dismay at his car-crash encounter in the Oval Office. There was also praise for Zelenskyy’s insistence that a peace deal without security guarantees was meaningless, and that Russia could not be trusted.
