Seven thumbnail images of young journalists against a pink background under the headline: "Meet our newest group of Voice Contributors"

One of the joys of my role as VoiceMag editor is the Voice Contributors scheme, in which I get to work with young people over 3 months as they explore #journalism & #creativewriting.

They're already producing amazing work and I can't wait to see what they do next. www.voicemag.uk/tag/voice-co...

Stivichall. Good luck, Americans! 😂

A lot of """"creatives"""" have seemingly accepted generative AI as part of art and filmmaking and I'm hear to say you're all big stinky phonies and I hate you

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Imagine if a university unilaterally announced it was cutting its English degrees. Badenoch would be on the front page of every paper saying "it's absurd that woke universities are denying students the right to learn about Shakespeare, Byron, etc".

English?! I mean, this argument is absurd whatever degree it focuses on, but given that English is (rightly) a core subject that every pupil in the country studies up until GCSE level, it's insane to suggest it's a "rip-off degree".

And so the annual #LFF FOMO begins! Hoping to experience this year's fest vicariously through the brilliant Voice Magazine reviewer Kieran Battams, who is attending for us. Check out his reviews here! www.voicemag.uk/tag/london-f...

Is there any way we can elect Ismaeel from #EducatingYorkshire to be prime minister? I think it's worth looking into, personally.

TV Review: Film Club – Aimee Lou Wood romcom brings charm and heartbreak Aimee Lou Wood and Nabhaan Rizwan star in this BBC Three sitcom about two university friends who love movies and, though they refuse to say it, they almost certainly love each other as well.

I reviewed the really quite lovely new BBC comedy Film Club, which stars Aimee Lou Wood and Nabhaan Rizwan. www.voicemag.uk/review/15738...

Very funny that Cov fans spent the whole summer certain that we needed to sign a striker. Three recognised centre-forwards in our squad and they've scored eight goals between them in the last seven days. #PUSB

It's okay to start getting really excited now, right? #PUSB

Very inconsiderate of Paul Thomas Anderson to have made a three-hour movie everybody agrees is excellent when I now have tiny twins who are unwilling to sanction their dad spending most of a day in the cinema. 🙈

The goosebumps up my arm at the opening line of For Good tell me that I will not be okay by the end of this movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1l5...

Immediately head over heels in love with this. Frankenstein meets gangster movie? Yes please. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSt...

Good point for the Sky Blues away from home in one of the toughest fixtures of the season. Our defence looked organised and resilient for probably the first time all season, so that's a real positive. #PUSB

why economy bad? why not economy good for little while, where good economy go

Poster for The Long Walk featuring several teenage boys walking towards a large pair of legs, which are in a military uniform

#TheLongWalk is brilliant but so fucking bleak. Can't remember the last time such a good film made me feel so hopeless.

The moment where he says the wrong name? That’s not just great acting - that’s sublimely existing on camera. God he was so fucking good. youtu.be/hv0ezAKDHtM

Robert Redford leans against a fence while wearing a blue suit in a scene from The Old Man and The Gun

If you're in search of a Robert Redford film to watch, look no further than his final one. The Old Man & the Gun is a delightful, straightforwardly fun story in which Redford's charisma and charm is front and centre. He chose his own acting swansong, and he chose very well indeed.

Stats for the 1-1 draw between Coventry and Norwich, showing Coventry had 64% possession and won on xG by 4.03 to 0.13. Coventry had 28 shots (four on target) to Norwich's three (one on target).

This is some Football Manager bullshit. Unlucky lads, but the great start continues! #PUSB

Pub brunch completely ruined today by a table full of Reform leafleters complaining about being asked to take off their hats.

An important read. I, as a white man, can feel the tension and rising danger in this country right now. I cannot even imagine how much worse it feels for someone who doesn't look like me.

It really feels like #Taskmaster is the most bulletproof format on TV. It literally never misses.

Can we keep Paddington's name well away from this shite please?

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

I worry that the decades it took to build anti-racism norms are unravelling quite quickly. Clearly the protests/social media drumbeat has created a permission structure that makes people think they can behave like this. Hard to see how it can be easily re-bottled.

Such a lovely industry, this. Really positive vibe.

I'm a journalist and have been paid a lot less than £40 for a lot more than 300 words, by famous and relatively moneyed outlets. I think for a small, indie business, your rates are far from worthy of having a go at.

I reviewed The Thursday Murder Club, which is a bafflingly laugh-free take on a very funny book.

Kudos to Darryl for addressing this so clearly and decisively. Movie Marker is a very good site that should not be tarnished by this person's actions.
