Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet was fan fiction. In fact half his works were. Fan fiction is perfectly valid, and always has been.
I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:
1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

They were forced to climb down on the ID cards so naturally they thought they had to balance it with something fascist. Can’t surrender the far right to Farage without Labour staking a claim to it.
Wes Streeting emphasising the NHS has adopted a 'holistic' model of care for trans kids.

Since the 1970s, productivity has risen sharply while real wages stagnated. The gap became profits, executive pay, and shareholder returns.
