“Where you put your phone at night may become the most important decision you make in your life” - Angela Duckworth

When the tobacco industry created a harmful and highly addictive product they didn’t get away with saying its parents fault their kids smoke. It should be the same for the social media industry.

@cheeseplatterprd.bsky.social Good luck 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Most academic books have boring descriptive titles but occasionally...

Greggs is serving Matcha, I’m dead

A handful of tech bros with dubious morals deciding the fate of humanity is a bad thing. Yes the AI bubble might burst, but so did the .com bubble, yet here we all are on the internet.

"Those robots can't really wash dishes or fold laundry," yeah, but wait till you see one siilently striding through the mall in an ICE uniform

It seems obvious the ICE agent who used deadly force against an unarmed Minneapolis woman who was trying to drive away from him is a victim of right wing ideology.

I hope so.

Remember creativity is an art, not a science. You’re never going to get it 100% right. So play. Enjoy.

“Give yourself room to be bad” - Steve Martin

Thinking of starting a creative project, or upset about your last one? Remember, Wicked was panned by critics when it was first on Broadway x

Is there a better word in the English language than fuck-knuckle?

Chances of AI wiping out us out is 1 in 6. The same odds as Russian Roulette.

Can’t believe 4PLAYs new writing extravaganza is next week! Rehearsals well underway for Hunt and it’s been great to use the @dancebase.bsky.social studio. Starring me & Deborah Whyte, Directed by Gwen Dolan. Probably the most fun you can have thinking about the end of the world.

Tommy Cooper: “I told my mum I'd opened a theatre. She said, 'Are you having me on?' I said, 'I'll give you an audition but I'm not promising anything.'”

You probably think my timeline has gone a bit conspiracy theory, but I promise it hasn’t

With the dawn of the Intelligence Revolution, it’s difficult to predict if we are heading away from the dark ages or towards them.

To be on Spotlight, or not to be on Spotlight - that is the question 🤔

The greatest minds in the world can’t agree on the impact of AI, but they all agree there is some chance it could wipe out humanity. One thing is for certain it’s going to take away MANY jobs, so unless we work out how to distribute wealth more evenly civilisation will collapse.

So excited to introduce my new play HUNT - who should YOU spend the AI apocalypse with? Part of 4PLAY’s new writing events 11, 12, 13 December ⚒️ @traversetheatre.bsky.social 🎫 www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/eve... 🎫

I don’t have to boycott the art you made with AI, because I’m sorry, but art isn’t what you made.

Worth a look

Wow 😩

I’m starting to like Shakespeare

Why does everyone’s washing and everyone’s dinner always smell better than your own?

Are they actively promoting p*rn or just saying they have mice at their computers? 🤣

Dad joke of the day

If your life is a Three Act structure, what happens in the next Act?

Is there a male term for a mistress? 🤔

“The grass is greener where you water it” - Mel Robbins

literally every time I talk to friends

Trump: "I'm not happy with what Putin is doing. He's killing a lot of people and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a long time ... we're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities. I don't like it at all. I'm surprised."
