I wanted to look up something in the (London) Times and typed in [www.times.com](https://www.times.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net), only to discover that the (New York) Times has that URL. Now, unlike my children, I still occasionally type in a URL rather than going straight to the search box in the corner, and, ancient that I am, I sometimes even try to guess the form of a URL.  
So, I tried [www.londontimes.com](https://www.londontimes.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) and, hey, this brought me closer.  
Here, I landed on the page for News International, the ‘main UK subsidiary of News Corporation’. It lists various publications.  
The venerable [Times Literary Supplement](https://tls.timesonline.co.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) is there, apparently the ‘leading paper in the world for literary culture’. In its sober darkness it sits between two splashes of red. Above, are [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) and the [News of the World](https://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) in all their red-top brashness. Below, is the not entirely safe for work [Page3.com](https://www.page3.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net).  
I am not sure what this says about anything …..
