All those telling us not to be hysterical and call Trump a fascist – now is your time to beg for forgiveness. You let this happen with your dismissiveness. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@rbkc.gov.uk Nearly got hit by a car because you still haven't installed pedestrian crossings at Battersea Bridge. People have died here, but there's still no safe way to cross from the north-west.

Maybe it's time to rethink which side you're on.

No way someone REWATCHED 'Megalopolis'.

GEORDIE TRANSLATOR (2025) George’s strong accent and blunt matter mean she’s unsuccessful in job interviews, despite her great credentials. So she hires a posh southerner to ‘translate’ her answers while she sits in another room on the phone. youtu.be/1kud-jEKGqU

My high-energy production of Agatha Christie's classic (and modern) 'And Then There Were None' runs from 19th to 23rd March in London! Expect laughter, chaos, puzzles, colour and a lot of murders! upstairsatthegatehouse.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Anybody know of two small offices/meeting rooms in London I can film in on 26th February?

I don't know what caused the sudden uptick in views, but I'm very grateful to whomever shared my short film! youtu.be/GoizCN8VL3U

Co-producer needed for a play in London in May. Vegetarian and anti-capitalism themes. Email [email protected] with your experience or CV to apply. #castingcall #producer #theatreproducer #theatre

Just finished series one of 'Severance'. It's good, but why did it take nine hours to tell the first 90 minutes of a film?

Working at a cinema isn't all crouching by a project to see when to adjust the lights. But sometimes it's exactly that.

Excellent news that there is a ceasefire in Gaza! Now Netenyahu must stand trial in The Hague.

I dread to think what Facebook and Instagram will turn into after Mark Zuckerberg's inevitable divorce.

Absolutely insane to see thousands of posts about the wildfires in LA from the biggest organisations and individuals in Hollywood, talking about how to stop the fires and raise money to rebuild, yet not a single one of them mentions climate change. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

This is how politics should be done. When people say a vote for the Greens is a wasted vote, they forget that people in power change their views because they get pressure from the more radical politicians out there.

Just heard someone using Gemini for the first time and it seems Alphabet has added the subtle sighs and 'breaths' from 'Her' (2013). Someone is definitely going to get marrying their phone's AI by the end of the year.

No amount of money can save you from cringe.

You're all going to hate this, but we're now in the second half of the decade. This is day 1828/3653 of the 2020s.

Favourite films of 2024: 1. There's Still Tomorrow – Paola Cortellesi 2. A Different Man – Aaron Schimberg 3. Challengers – Luca Guadagnino 4. Juror #2 – Clint Eastwood 5. The Apprentice – Ali Abassi

If anyone in the UK theatre scene (or elsewhere) is looking for Shakespeare-esque new writing, I've got a witty and thought-provoking play about actors fleeing to France under Cromwell and how that led to women being allowed on stage in England post-Interregnum.

White hot chocolate or hot white chocolate?

The new Syrian government is laying the foundation for 50 years of peace in the country and region, Leader Ahmad al-Sharaa (Joulani) says. * “Kurdish people are an inseparable part of Syria” and Kurdish forces will be integrated into the army * Work has started drafting a new constitution 1/2

21 of the shows currently at the 39 West End theatres are adapted from novels, films or TV; four are biographical/jukebox musicals; two are new adaptations of myths and legends; two are musicals based on history; and six are other revivals. There are only four original shows on the West End.

Whoever wrote this consultation must be a bot. I refuse to believe that a human being could earnestly write, 'Two major strengths of the UK economy are its creative industries and AI sector. Both are essential to drive economic growth and deliver the government’s Plan for Change.'

Looking for two actors (any age or gender) for a Zoom readthrough of 'An Acquired Taste' tomorrow (18th) at noon. This near-future play deals with the ethics of the meat and textile industries in a darkly comic matter.

Your annual reminder that Time's Person of the Year is about who is most influential. It's not an award or celebration. It's neutral fact and has included Hitler, Stalin and every elected US President for 90 years.

Luigi Mangione's dark side REVEALED

Inevitably coming soon: a ten-part saga on the making of the docuseries about the film about the making of SNL.

Any Geordie actresses in London interested in appearing in a comedy short film in January/February? One day of filming, pays £100 and is about someone who hires a 'translator' for a job interview at a snobby, classist London firm.

If any podcasters, YouTubers or such are looking for guests, I'm always up for it. I'm a London-based writer, actor, filmmaker with a love of comedy and facts, so would really love to get involved in the podcast world, just don't know how to begin!

Aw, bless. Now get in the cell. Life imprisonment is too good for you.

A closeted gay man's conservative family visits and he tries to hide the truth about his 'roommate'! 'Battersea Power Station' is one of my top short films (65,000+ views): #shortfilm #filmmaker #indiefilms #queercinema #cinema #lgbtq #queer #gay #gaymovie www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz0o...

PSA: If you make a joke that's formatted in such a way that most people wouldn't realise it's a joke, you're not good at comedy. Jokes follow rules and structures so they're clearly distinguishable from facts or opinions.

Throwback to one of the most fulfilling roles of my career so far! He Wears It Well at the Ed Fringe was the explosion of heartfelt queer joy I needed in theatre to express that part of me and informed many roles since! Thanks to my wonderful co-lead @lthewitt.bsky.social for sharing that with me!

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

In 14 years of Tory rule, there was public demand for a snap election because of the following scandals: • Tuition fees • Brexit lies • Lockdown delay • PPE scam • Partygate • Chris Pincher • Truss crashing the economy • Two unelected PMs But 'you lost; get over it.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Named after the very thing they don't have. Like a Greek myth. Or a minor character in the Wizarding World.

Listening to the taxing private schools debate, some MPs are opposing on peculiar basis of providing "our children" with good education. But only ~6% can afford private school, so I'll be voting for a wider definition of "our" children who deserve a good education: ALL children.

Finally caved and looked up who or what Mr Beast is. Horrified to discover that despite his wealth and following, he's four years younger than me.

How long before Twitter is banned in Europe, since it's now purely used for targeted harassment?
