#BlueLights is so beautifully written, directed, acted, with such integrity & care, truly a privilege to watch. Each series fresh highlights & character depth: this time Katherine Devlin & DearbhΓ‘ile McKinney absolutely heartbreaking in every scene. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

not going to push that pic of Farage at LBC into your feeds again, but I'll note two things: first, the whole paracetamol nonsense is profoundly misogynistic. It blames women for their children's autism, and doesn't give a shit about why women might take paracetamol.

Copyright (probably) won't save anyone from AI There is lots of justified outrage at the way AI companies have "stolen" millions of creative works to train their models. But there's every chance it's legal.

Hi Thomas good to hear from you - yes indeed our industry is very vulnerable from scraping - though this article and its responses is an interesting take on over trusting copyright as a solution www.jamesrball.com/p/copyright-...

Very sad to hear of the death of Sylvia Young, a hugely enthusiastic and motivating stage school founder/director who was so kind and supportive to me (& thousands of others) in the early part of my theatre career. RIP

Yes, this. Though other than imbuing a sense of resilience, and that the whole effort is EN ROUTE not a COMPLETION, it's hard to see who else can absorb this discovery other than the creative artists themselves. Point about what to say to encourage without glib approval very well made too.

44/45: correct...BUT..no artist <really> believes their failures <are> failures, just that they were/are under-appreciated/misunderstood/poorly presented. Not honestly acknowledging creative failure isn't vanity so much as insecurity,which itself is a powerful driver of creativity?

Creativity over crime: why the arts must return to our communities Youth crime is rising, and teaching creativity and expression through the arts might just be what many young people need instead

"Merseyside, UK – amid rising youth crime, mental health challenges, and social disconnection, the arts remain one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools for healing, growth, and empowerment – particularly for young people who struggle to find their place in the world."

I think in this slightly terrible world people are desperate for communal singing
