"if your qualifying income is over £50,000 in the 2024 to 2025 tax year"

HA! HA! HA!
They know what I'm on! Why bother to send me this!?

how your emails finds me

I named my fists Bluey and Bingo bc you’ll think they’re tiny and cute and funny, but you’ll end up crying.

Actual evidence it's not just me: bsky.app/profile/demp...

As long as the original screenwriter gets paid, does it matter? Especially if it helps the script actually get made (leading, probably, to a production bonus + decent residuals for the original writer)

me, begging, tears in my eyes: please. please just tell me what the book is about. the plot. please a book annotation on the cover, unfazed: A Subversive Masterpiece. A Deep And Touching Story. The New York Times Bestseller. Go Fuck Yourself

Next Microsoft product meeting:

“What if, now hear me out, what if the copilot button moved about so it was always under your cursor?”

Sad to hear of the legendary Tom Stoppard’s death. Time to take a moment to revisit his greatest work, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn.

Say what you like about Change UK, at least they managed a dinner

Idea: whining about your taxes in the press comes with a *free* wallet inspection from HMRC just to make sure you're not over paying

Doing the Guardian budget calculator as a freelancer:

First question: what is your annual income?

OK I give up

I don't care if you think you're middle class or whatever. Your house is worth £2m? Lucky you. Shut up and pay up.

It's weird how there's definitely a tipping point where the brand tie-ins become counter-productive, but it's hard to define where that tipping point actually is

ofc, the real answer is a sequel to THE LAST JEDI

Can understand why some of those weren't made (MISS SAIGON would've been a particularly big gamble), but AP4 and SPY 2 should have been no-brainers for their studios

SMILEY'S PEOPLE
AUSTIN POWERS 4
SPY 2
The MISS SAIGON adaptation everyone thought was going to be made after LES MIS
Lord and Miller's SOLO
