Well I thoroughly enjoyed that series of #TheTraitors
Was out Thursday night and hurried home to make sure I caught the penultimate episode... what a cliffhanger!

So, today marks 10 years since the passing of Bowie.
It also marks 10 years since I put something on Twitter about it which resulted in me having to take a day off work, chase down various international media, get blocked by half of Australia, and end up the filling in a Kanye and Madonna sandwich.

Another doozy of an episode of #TheTraitors
Have a suspicion that there may be more hidden relationships to be revealed.

Enjoying the barrister versus barrister action.
Not sure how revealing the secret traitor so early in the series will affect the gameplay.

Hmm, and this is necessary because of the lack of free speech and censorship in Europe?
this isn’t very free speech-y of the free speech champs
Citizens of countries including the UK and France will have to disclose the past five years of their social media history to visit the US even though they are covered by visa waiver schemes, under new proposals by the Trump administration.

Tom Stoppard possibly wrote a lot of your fave movie lines 👇
His IMDB profile would be incredibly impressive on its own. I had no idea until now that he was a script doctor on so many major movies!

Interesting article this. Personally I'm always looking on social media to find out set times in advance, and usually end up following the artist and support as a result.
If the support look interesting and I know what time they will be on then I'll make an extra effort to get there for them.

Should venues share stage times?

The guesswork of gig-going: why don't venues share their stage times?
Estimating what time a gig starts is a dilemma for any music fan. Why is it such a problem? And what are artists doing to help?
