The BBC Weather App is not doing so well today... they give us a sunny thumbs up and we have torrential rain

Anyone got any hope out there? If so let's hear it...

Make America Great Again he said.... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So... this is happening. Thrilled for Al.

The joy of a line of record cards laid out on a table outlininh a scene by scene breakdown of a new script and realising it all makes sense...

This is the latest in the Clark household www.waterstones.com/events/goril...

Absolutely @deborahmeaden.bsky.social 👏

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Very fine speech sir, very fine indeed. The rest of the world thanks you.

Elon has a son called Techno Mechanicus. Blimey. That's strong.

Home for a weekend of old slides and photographs and much history

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

I finally have a limited run of prints available for a project I made in the last couple of years. It’s a series of re-imagined portraits of women in science from the 18th and 19th centuries. imaginaryastronaut.xyz/shop

1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵

So Oedipus at The Old Vic is £150 - £210 per ticket in the Dress Circle... Really? And what if people from outside London want to see it so have travel costs on top? I thought theatre was supposed to be opening itself up to new audiences? Challenging stereotypes of it being elitist? Obviously not.

Social Media? I just can't anymore...

Somebody Somewhere series 3 has me weeping in recognition...

So Elon is now grubbing his hands in UK right wing politics. For the love of God stop...

In Cornwall dealing with a parent in law with Alzheimers - frustrating, often funny, truly sad and provoking in so many ways. We took a moment to watch the sea in peace before being whisked away again into 1953...

The main question today as I start a new play... Why the fuck would I do this?

Starting a new play - absolutely terrifying. Send snacks and whisky.

Have deactivated toxic X... a marvellous lesson in how to f**k a brand in just two years.

Part of me just died.... Sun said he plans to eat the banana, as a way of “honouring its place in both art history and popular culture”. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Anyone out there I know... moved here away from the machinations of X
