Expert analysis, and refreshingly hopeful. (Do follow all the Freedmans - we'd be in a much better place if @judithfreedman.bsky.social, @samfr.bsky.social and @ldfreedman.bsky.social were running the country 😀)

Titus Andronicus at Stratford is astounding! Stupendous acting, especially SRB, amazing effects (an H&S nightmare). Torture, mutilation and cannibalism, a fun afternoon. Husband got sprayed with gore despite protective blankets provided!

This is very good indeed. I hope it will be widely read and acted upon in Treasury and Number 10.

Meta has stolen all my published work to feed its AI algorithm. So much for copyright law.

On International Women's Day 2025, I want to pay tribute to the courage of Dr Viktoriia Kovach, Chief Medical Officer of Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade. In January, I spent 24 hours with the combat medics she leads on the front line. Please read 🇺🇦 #IWD25 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

‘We have a rule when we hear the sirens: if you’ve started operating, you don’t stop’: 24 hours with doctors on the Ukrainian frontline

Like the soldiers they battle to save, combat medics in Ukraine are under constant attack. Three years after the invasion, one NHS doctor bears witness

Working in arts administration can be difficult enough - spare a thought today for those working at the Kennedy Centre…

An FT writer describing a casual visit by a landlord to a tenant: “…was this a Foucauldian imposition to check if they were suitable…? ” Is this meaningful or just showing off? Probably not written by ChatGPT, though.
