An interesting, nuanced play with great performances by Maxine Peake and Samuel Barnett, who played all the roles except Mary, including a killer Margaret Thatcher!

Not Streeting.

Voted. An excellent series, should be mandatory listening!

Me too, sadly.

Keep your enemies closer?

What a surprise!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

@alcarns.bsky.social Your name is missing.

It’s the psychological game of ‘ain’t it awful’. It’s surprising the number of people who want to join in.

My third time seeing this gem. But nothing beats Peakies in Brum bab.

My Granddaughter, 11, seems to have found a great number of books to read that aren’t JKR or DW. Maybe she’s writing them herself?

Form a circle.

I’m 75 and ideally would like to see it means tested at a higher threshold. I am, however, aware of the admin costs involved in this. Shouldn’t the question be, why are we paying so much for our energy?

Tennis is the only sport I watch. I love it. But since the demise of Eurosport I can only watch Wimbledon, unless I pay £18 or more a month. Unless anyone knows a cheaper way?

Was this a live interview? (Can’t watch GB). If not, I’m amazed they aired it!

Yes she does!

Went to see Megan Ellis as Muriel in Muriel’s Wedding, the musical, at the Curve Theatre, Leicester.

I met Julie Walters when she was accepting an Hon Dic at the Uni I worked at. She arrived with her sister-in-law and bags of shopping. She was lovely and her speech was about the students, not her.

Sounds like an excellent weekend to me!

They’ve decapitated most of my tulips 😢

Playing the long game. Putin’s real talent.

A stunning double bill by Ballet Black at Birmingham Rep last night. A Shadow Work is one of the best dance pieces I’ve seen in a long time. Catch it if you can.

Just so good!

Ditto.

I stopped having my milk delivered when no show deliveries and thefts from my door step outnumbered the ones I actually received.
I have a zero waste shop nearby. Prices are very high.
*sigh*

Someone described using the uk arts for generative ai as fracking the creative industries. And yes. It is.

Divisive click hungry media feeding people who have no real, fulfilling relationships? The politics of envy?

Green.
