If I could’ve written anything this year, it would’ve been Lily Allen’s Madeline. It’s like if Stan and Jolene had a baby
I wrote this for @financialtimes.com, on how AI-generated misinformation can make its way into hiring practices. Like when Grok said this summer that I’d just had a baby and was on maternity leave (I’m not).
I’m excited to be on this shortlist with my microdrama Tess’ Plot! Some serious talent here 🙏 scriptangel.com/studio21-ann...

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.
A gorgeous venue @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social museum to read from TESS, my Tess of the D’Urbervilles TV adaptation today. Thank you for having me @scriptsthething.bsky.social
