One of the best things I've ever posted: Mark Ravenhiil's 101 notes on playwriting. It was originally published as a series of tweets. This version's even better because Ravenhill has annotated it a bit.

fascism has appropriated all aspects of tech as its own, when tech very much does not belong to fascists nor is it a result of them. it was taken from the original idealists who believed things like the internet belonged to everyone. tech is communal. it is democratic. as all innovation should be.

A piano in the centre, an actor in a bright pink dress, it’s camp and outrageous. Other actors in period costumes around the piano. It’s so very camp, and dramatic in lighting.

Caught the @nationaltheatre.org.uk’s Live of The Importance of Being Earnest tonight at @broadwaycinema.bsky.social. It was incredible. Ridiculous. Camp. Masterful in ensemble comedy. Haven’t laughed that much at theatre in years. Do catch it in cinemas, it’s definitely worth it.

AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt Attackers explain how an anti-spam defense became an AI weapon.

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Rogue AI Moves Three Steps Closer OpenAI’s new o3 model suggests that it will not be long before AI systems are as smart as their human minders—or smarter.

Rogue AI’s are real, and have already been demonstrated in laboratory tests www.lawfaremedia.org/article/rogu...

I wish every suburb had place where young people can make art on their own terms like @ShopfrontArtsCoop. The team is campaigning for a new roof. If you can spare a dollar to support - every dollar is matched 1:1 by a kind donor. Link below.

My essential Theatre books which I frequently use when making work:

Different Every Night - Mike Alfreds

The great teacher/director’s guide to finding the dramatic spine of a play and using it to release imagination and creativity.

I’ve begun a starter pack for film, tv, theatre, digital - loads missing so please comment below & I’ll add you. If it gets too big, I’ll break it down into more specific platforms / disciplines / forms. But for now, welcome! It’s great to see so many talented storytellers here!
