In another, better world this would be a C16 Caravaggio oil painting. But this is Gaza. Thank you Mariam Daqqa and all your colleagues murdered by Netanyahu. Your stories and images live on. 🕯️

@lisanandy.bsky.social the ironic impact of Access to Work changes is also devastating for the huge freelance culture sector. Please reconsider!!!

And all this time I was convinced it was Yootha Joyce 😆

I hacked my mini Great Zoltar. He is now fluent in Wham 🎵🔮🕺🏽

Netanyahu must go.

This gives me very little faith that any points from the group discussions will be carried forward. Voting that headlines represent the challenges without opps to feed in missing challenges & opps is a fairly weak validation!

Even in quotation marks, ‘generosity’ feels like a very odd thing for the Audience Agency to call supporting art form development. That, and inherent risk taking, are essential for our sector’s future. It’s nothing to do with benevolence.

I said well thank god for AI. What did I say Roy?
You said lord help us, even Channel 4 thinks it can trust those tech bro eejits.

Yesterday I launched (sort of) the inaugural Give a Cat a Theme Tune Day. Today, Israel finally agreed to the ceasefire. Coincidence? I think not!! #PawsForPeace

President Joe Biden granted a posthumous pardon to the late Black nationalist Marcus Garvey as well as four other justice advocates who had been convicted of non-violent drug offenses.

Hoping Eddie’s family finally find some justice and peace🙏🏼🕯️

This Government understands the importance of the creative industries to the UK.

That's why Lisa Nandy MP is announcing today a £60mil package of support to drive growth in the sector, including £40mil of investment for start-up video game studios, British music and film exports.

Blimey. If Bristol Beacon’s gonna be the last arts venue standing, they’ll have a hell of a job picking up all the lost arts delivery if further cuts go ahead. 🙈 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

They so need to be done with Netanyahu. He’s fuelling antisemitism. I’m dreading what he & Trump’s ‘bring on the rapture’ gang might do.

Gaza’s population is falling, while Israel’s growth is slowing | CNN Gaza’s population dropped by 6% – about 160,000 people – in 2024, according to a new report, as Israel’s war against Hamas took a heavy toll on the Palestinian enclave’s demographics.

The population in Gaza hasn’t increased. Those stats were from before Netanyahu’s genocide amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/...

West African Twitter is pretty rapturous about Burkina Faso’s president going to Ghana for Mahama’s inauguration. Can someone explain to an ignorant Brit why he’s so popular? Please and thank you!

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people."

Is it just me or is it a total coincidence that after angering the racist MAGA base with his support for H1B visas & Indian IT workers, Musk suddenly became obsessed in recent days with demonizing Pakistanis in the UK & is now winning back the praise of the racist far right?

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now
