Does anyone have any advice on writing one of these? I've done it numerous times but I always worry it's where I fall short.

There's something to this thread.
It's plagued me for ages too. It's all so deliberate in its attempts to look thrown together. Also, the thing of aggressive swearing in, say, a bread recipe. There's a faux anger/resentment toward making the content, even though they're playing the algorithm.

Can someone explain the tiktokker choice of not downloading a relevant image for your background but just greenscreening yourself in front of the google image results page

In this incredibly rare chat, I'm joined by THE Adam Riches - known for his high-energy character work, from Sean Bean to Michael Ball!
We discuss rethinking Edinburgh, audience participation as a superpower, industry challenges and how Dungeons ’n Bastards rekindled Adam's creative spark.

I just ordered one strawberry milkshake.

EMPLOYEE:
Oh - yeah sorry
5
EMPLOYEE:
The milkshake machine’s not working.
6
EMPLOYEE:
The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.
7
CUSTOMER:
Is that a new flavour?
EMPLOYEE:
Yeah

[We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter]

This is a fantastically important and timely initiative from Channel 5 and one I hope will be emulated by the other UK channels. New stories and fresh voices are so needed right now - and so are opportunities to enable people to survive in a crumbling industry.

Time for GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S FRANKENSTEIN DISCOURSE!
I keep seeing people worry about whether del Toro properly did justice to Mary Shelley. And I have to ask: why is that del Toro's job more than anyone else's?
And also, didn't he?
And also, how could he? He's not a mother. 1/

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?
