Super proud of @benjibpm.bsky.social for getting a Fringe First as part of Hannah Maxwell's show "Turn your f*cking phones off". Benji composed the music, designed the lights, video, sound, production managed it... a multi-talented man. So well deserved - incredible show! tinyurl.com/4fputu8s

Tinfoil hat time... I think OpenAI exaggerates these kinds of things in order to make its product sound more intelligent and advanced than it actually is. For investment. "oh wow it's gaining sentience... it truly is a revolution... no one has any idea what it is capable of... pls give us money".

The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

The instinctive reaction right now is lazy, sleep-walking cynicism, or sullen don't-give-me-hope despair. But the truth is: someone with very good communication skills, the right diagnosis and a reforming zeal is about to become prime minister. That seems pretty fucking encouraging to me.

I like that “Widow’s Bay” is from a “Parks and Recreation” writer and answers the question, “What if they made a whole show out of the Pawnee City Hall murals?”

The phrase "quantum draft" from @vinaypatel.bsky.social in his latest newsletter is 👌. I very much recognise this state patelograms.substack.com/p/their-fact...

I seem to have developed a tic where I can’t stop saying “I used to have a draft when…” or “I had a scene where….”. The director tells me they’re starting to get a sense of how many versions of this has lived in my head. Creates the danger of the quantum draft - where, to you, the play exists as all the versions at once.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Kemi Badenoch tells the BBC's Matt Chorley that if she were prime minister, Donald Trump would simply not be like this.

“I would use every opportunity to talk to President Trump. I'd hope that I wouldn't have to wait to go to Davos with all the thousands of people there and stand in the queue. I'd hopefully be able to get an audience with him in Washington. And what worries me is that for all the efforts that Keir Starmer has made, and he has made efforts, we shouldn't take that away from him, They're not generating what we want to see. We had a state visit just a couple of months ago, and the deals that they agreed have been paused. That's terrible. So clearly a state visit is not enough. There's stuff that should be happening behind the scenes that isn't happening.”
