Thanks Hannah - delighted you enjoyed it!
Great night out last night at York Theatre Royal to see Louise Brooks in the gem Beggars of Life with live - and delightfully improvised - score by @dodgebrothers.bsky.social including @kermodemovie.bsky.social and special guest, the incomparable @neilkbrand.bsky.social. Loved everything about it!

Moms For Liberty suffered a humiliating defeat, losing all 31 of the races in which the hate group ran candidates!i They are 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023. We the people don’t support their hate targeting the LGBTQIA community. Great to see hate lose. 🌈

Not sure how I've missed this but just caught up with the first episode. Brilliant podcast, right up my street, love the analysis of the pieces (as with #Addtoplaylist) and Keith was a fabulous guest. Looking forward to catching up with remaining episodes.

Really sorry to hear, Clair.
So, that nice new freelance gig that I had, which I was so excited about.
They gave me the boot.
I am never going to give my talents to the hopeless ever again.

Good morning, friends. If you can add kindness to your list of achievements, you have done well. Never forget that. Kindness in these cruel times in our country, separates the good from the evil.
