Ah, today I found out that Elon Musk appears in the Epstein Files, no just complicit, but BEGGING to go to the island. I also found out that in France, his twitter offices have been raided and he's been summoned for an interview on 20 April. The more you know 👀

You are all invited to our next free show! Tooth Fairy Inc is released today, an immersive audio show about the inner thoughts of all the things in your childhood bedroom Free to access on our website below :)

how did i not know about this site, this is wild www.jmail.world

For the first time in decades, we are introducing a new artform: Digital Arts. 💻🎨 Find out why we have made this decision and what it means for you 👇

In case you missed it, Jeff Bezos funded a documentary, directed by Brett Ratner of all people, about Melania Trump. They spent $35m on marketing alone, just shy of the film's budget. The UK premiere sold 1 ticket. The second screening sold 2 tickets.

Suella Braverman MP has joined the Reform party, despite briefings from the party last summer to the Daily Mail, GB News and others that it would refuse her if she wanted to join.

What an absolute joke to have Suella Braverman claiming that the country is broken when she was literally in government and helped to break it Reform were never going to reform anything and every second hand Tory they take in should confirm that all the more

I can only assume one of two things are true about current Labour leadership: 1) They actually want the far right to get a bigger foothold in the UK Or 2) They are profoundly stupid

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Omg a political ad that got me emotional

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

Rental Family is a perfect film. It is the only film I have seen that came out in recent years that I would say that about. Go see it pls, it's magic

Why is BBC News determined to not show demonstrable evidence that Trump is a baby with a tantrum? He has literally attributed the Greenland nonsense (some of it anyway, he does also like money for him and his friends) to NOT GETTING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

Rental Family is the best film I've seen for ages, you should watch it if you like crying

Has Trump edited his wiki page to say he won the Nobel Peace Prize yet?

As I read about the RAM price conversation, it occurs to me: I don't think I have seen a single thing about generative AI that is just good. Like, for every function it serves, good or bad, there are so many cons attached to it. Surely it's not even worth it.

It's been nearly 20 years (?!) since House's Head/Wilson's Heart first aired and it still gets me, good god (it's when Amber says 'the flu pills')

I'm a real photographer because my shots have been fed into GenAI now. To create a fake child for a clothing brand shoot. A key point - there were kids at the shoot we did, but they decided to just generate a child instead?

Do they think that if they say the world respects Trump enough, that'll magically become true?

"You know what’s magic? Learning that your brain can do something else, and that your heart can love it."

I keep trying to write something to wrap up this year. I went into 2025 with a lot of plans – I did a few goal-setting sessions and just kept writing the phrase ‘change your life’. Which, as was kindly pointed out by people wiser than me, was a ridiculous goal. emilyholyoake.com/2025/12/27/c...

Happy misogynists-getting-punched-in-the-face weekend to those who celebrate

Can large scale immersive theatre come to Nottingham? Cutting straight to the point, we have an opportunity to stage a massive immersive production in a central Nottingham location in Easter 2026. Find out how to get involved below: www.chronicinsanity.co.uk/post/apple-o...

And, always, in this order

Tell me your least Christmassy 'Christmas film', I know we can't be the only household that has one

It is nearly time to watch our 3 traditional Christmas films: 1. Let It Snow 2. The Muppet Christmas Carol 3. Austin Powers in Goldmember

Amazing productions shots for A Doll’s House from Lamar Francois :) Thanks again to all involved for such a great show, still viewable on our YouTube for free right now!

Watch A Doll’s House, set in the world of The Sims, for free on our YouTube channel now :) Only 30 mins long youtu.be/fVsg24mJ5zE?...

I can't help but notice that I got messages from our broadband that I would get text and emails about an upgrade and I have now had missed calls from mystery numbers that supposedly belong to said broadband Threatening texts is bad enough why are you trying to call That's not what phones are for

What happens when one character in a scene speaks English and the other the language from The Sims? We got to play around with that idea in our production of A Doll’s House, now available on our YouTube for free :) youtu.be/fVsg24mJ5zE?...

Final rehearsals done for A Doll’s House, our version set within the world of The Sims www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-dolls-ho... 🎟 last chance to grab tickets

Monstrous.

It always blows my mind when a budget specifically mentions wanting to encourage people to invest (in business rather than savings), whilst simultaneously giving us less disposable income.

"The ultra wealthy are threatening to leave the UK" the billionaires complain as a wealth tax doesn't happen, they remain in control and working and middle classes have to "do their bit"

Fitness influencers and PTs be like "I'm so excited to be taking a revolutionary step" And then they announce a 12 week programme

Netflix makes the weird choice to make watchlists based on zodiac signs and then has the GALL to fill mine with shitty comedies when I can see the others are more interesting

Had a wonderful time last night at @broadwaycinema.bsky.social holding our first CGN2 funded discussion on getting Nottingham a new grassroots performing arts space Thanks to everyone that came along :) What do you think Nottingham is currently missing from its performing arts venues?

Finished our week of @artscouncilengland.bsky.social funded R&D on 2 new digital theatre projects: Tooth Fairy Inc and PROPHETS: {{ SUBTITLE TEXT GOES HERE }} Thanks to the @vipstudio.bsky.social for the space and equipment!

One week until our event at @broadwaycinema.bsky.social where you get to tell us what you want a public arts venue in the city centre to be! Pop along between 6-8pm on November 19th to get your voice heard, or pop us an email and let us know your thoughts beforehand if you’re not free :)

Not a novel opinion, but Silent Hill f is proper good.

Breaking news: Pope too Christian for Christians

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

The Anne Shirley anime is perfect, no notes.

🎭✨ The world premiere of Ada — written by Emily Holyoake & performed by @chronicinsanity.bsky.social at #PyConUK2025 — is on YouTube! 👉 buff.ly/PzPqzBv Emily also shared her reflections on writing Ada in our blog 👉 buff.ly/U6Ej0NQ 💜 Huge thanks to Emily & the Chronic Insanity team for their work!

Showgirl is a Goldmember album; I will not be elaborating further.

Job searching after 5 years in higher ed is a strange one because you end up having done so many different things in your role, whilst also being forced into niche brackets with no progression, so it's hard to know what suits you. Thank goodness I still have my freelance work to hand

It's honestly magic to have found a second career where this is both true and rewarding/rewarded. Opening a million tabs to discover why some code works/doesn't feels as fun (to me, anyway) as falling down a research hole for a play.

📝✨ New blog post alert: Post-conference report! 📝✨ Our brilliant Conference Director @rebkwok.bsky.social has put together a report for #PyConUK2025, including reflections on key highlights, behind-the-scenes moments, and the community who made it what it was. 💜🐍 Dive in here: buff.ly/CR22Xm0
