As You Like It at @the-rsc.bsky.social was just spectacular. Jonathan Groff was brilliant but so were all the cast (Gary Wilmot 😍). The Welsh singers were incredible - dropping in Ar Hyd y Nos for the weeps and Where Is My Husband for the laughs. Bravo all!
View of a theatre before the show starts. The stage is simple with just an apron and a backdrop both in white and there are people in the foreground waiting for the show to start.

Absolutely extraordinary interview with Richard Tice on 5 who got very angry about climate change. He claims to have done his research and says that climate change is not anthropogenic because ‘only’ 3% of CO2 emissions are man made.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

Please can we talk about ways to make airports - particularly security - less awful. It’s wall to wall sensory overload, being shouted at all the time, lights, people, noise, smells. It makes my neurodivergent daughter anxious for days before and after and even as a mostly NT adult still awful.
