I’ve seen some peculiar installations on the Annenberg Courtyard but someone holding a flowerpot on her head while sat on a pig over a potato on cheese on a beer barrel on a man in Birkenstocks holding a cup, might take some beating 😂

That Ranulph Fiennes story is crazy! When they said he'd been missing for months, I thought he'd got lost on one last expedition. No, his wife is moving him between care homes so the rest of the family can't find him 🤯 Now, her son is raising money for legal fees to remove her Power of Attorney.

Indescribably awful comment from whoever she is. We're told not to call people Nazi's just for disagreeing with them, but honestly how else do you refer to someone calling for the castration of ALL male asylum seekers? I guess psychopath might be another word...

Just researching agents to submit my novel to and found a podcast with one guy saying he barely looks at the submissions sent to him and doesn't want to take new writers on. So, why the hell is he open to submissions?! 🤦 He also loves the Strike books so that's a hard pass from me anyway.

I’ve been very quiet during #suicidepreventionawarenessweek because it’s shit being constantly reminded of all the things I might have done to save Alice. The “check-in” narrative is particularly distressing. I get that its’s appealing, plenty of people have an anecdote that it saved their life…

Incredible Daily Express story (archive.is/SGo0K) about Sandie Peggie's upcoming action against the RCN, in which she continues to hound Dr Beth Upton who literally moved to the other side of the world to get away from Peggie's harassment, and which includes this frankly baffling paragraph:

Her fight for women's rights has come at significant personal cost. Her father passed away shortly before the first set of tribunal hearings, and in May this year her family dog, a seven-year-old Rottweiler called Broxi, had to be put down.

I have been trained not to care about any show Netflix creates, BY NETFLIX. I know instantly that anything they do will be canceled no matter how successful it is, so why would I get invested? They did this to themselves, on purpose, and don't seem to grasp that incredibly obvious point.

I keep seeing decent people going on TalkTV, Piers Morgan, Jeremy Vine etc and I wonder what the point is. It's not a debate or learning moment. It's the hosts job to present the most awful takes and goad people into reacting for the entertainment of the viewers whose opinions will never shift.

Another literary agent rejection today 🙄 at least this one replied (most don't). Only ever a generic reply, nothing about what the issue is: letter, pitch, synopsis, the actual writing so it's like shooting at a rat in the dark. May have to get some beta readers or pay for professional advice...

It's hard for me to feel sorry for a multi-millionaire but you do you Lisa 🙄 If Sheeran had wanted a 'family-friendly', 'non-political' show then he should take an active role in choosing supporting acts who are family-friendly and non-political 🤷‍♂️

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has offered her sympathy to Ed Sheeran after his opening acts and backing musicians abandoned his world tour in response to rapper Macklemore being dropped over remarks regarding Gaza.
Speaking to LBC, she said she really felt for Ed Sheeran and that he had been left in an “impossible position”, because he was trying platform support acts while dealing with promoters who didn’t want politics being brought into his performances.
"I hope it doesn’t harm his tour. He’s one of our most successful artists and also one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with … I have enormous sympathy for the position that he finds himself in," Ms Nandy said.
She also noted that many music fans prefer to separate concerts from political debate and just “enjoy the music”.
She said: "The world is quite a difficult place at the moment, and I think a lot of people do also quite like to have a space where they can go, where they can leave all of that aside.”

I don't know the music industry or the law but this feels like a cowardly reaction. The 'it's for the fans' sake' line feels like an excuse when musicians cancel at the last minute for any number of reasons. I feel that Sheeran could've made a stand. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

It surely can’t be legal to prevent someone from going to the loo at work?! 🤯 Not having an accessible loo also seems like a breach. In limited spaces, the accessible loo is often the only facility and is used by everyone so there’s little excuse here. That company is wide open for being sued.
