COP29 live: UN climate talks on verge of collapse as countries walk out over cash The UN's COP29 climate talks have overrun into the weekend as a deep gulf formed between richer and poorer countries.

This is something that in a couple of hundred years time could be a parable. Except there’ll either be nobody left to tell it or the only people left to tell it will be a super wealthy elite who will entirely misunderstand the parable and tell it wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

Hear hear.

I have just finished “The Underground Railroad” and am about to either reread “Perfume” or read a book about “Ulysses” without having read “Ulysses” then write my own version of “Ulysses” based on what that book says about it.

Holy smoke. He’s a deluded buffoon.

Will do!

Six eps per season. 420 episodes. I have ideas for one, maybe none, episodes. This should be a piece of cake. Unless I stop for cake.

Oh yeah. Burrows. Good idea. It could be every episode “Captain’s Log” every episode containing the odd flashback maybe. And just one actor; you could pay him really well. Cumberbatch it is.

Grand Theft Impro says a big thank you to hooplaimpro.com for a great show last night. GTI were (L-R) Duncan Walsh-Atkins (music), @nellmackenzie.bsky.social, Darren Jordan (lights), me, Ruth Bratt & @dylanemery.bsky.social. See you next year.

Together you’d be unstoppable. Do it!
