My only experience of this is that it’s become noticeably more difficult to engage theatre students in the work we do as a company.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

So the BBC did a news story on the horrible conditions in the hotels were people seeking asylum are forced to live and instead of the media talking about humanity and compassion about improving conditions and letting them work, this was the outcome:
So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.

Really valuable and honest piece by friend and comrade @nikeshshukla.bsky.social about the anti-immigration protests at hotels this year.
There's a danger in trying to "understand" someone's hate if it's based on the faulty assumption that there's anything to understand in the first place.

The attack on his niece was a few years ago. Everything this scumbag has done since has been with full awareness of what he's been empowering and emboldening.
To come out with this now is gobsmacking. I don't know how he's got the nerve.

Irks me when he says this because I’ve been at an LGBT event he’s been at, I’ve seen him attend others; he is in no way unaware of this being a problem nor his own role in it

Defund football
The warnings of the people who want you to spend £85 for a replica football shirt made in a sweatshop, rather than £15 for an identical replica replica shirt that for all they know might possibly have been made in the same sweatshop, read like something out of Brasseye.

Basically don’t give spyware for Christmas. Watches, speakers, doorbells need to stop being so nosy.
Probably the worst of them all is the Ring doorbell.
It’s sold as safety, but it’s much more about fear and paranoia in a box that turns you against your community. The more of them in the world, the worse our neighborhoods get. Don’t help the spiral continue.

I find Nolan’s films cold, clinical and soulless.
My hot take is they built a whole movie around one cool special effect and I think the movie stinks

Faisal Islam and others are talking about the OBS report leak 2 hours early as "historic" and "catastophic". Why? Who cares? Boo-hoo, Reeves' literal speech wasn't quite the exact moment a few hundred people learned the details. What an asbolutely weird bubble Westmister correspondents live in!
