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.

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.

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part:

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.

“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!

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.
