Saw my oncologist today to get my latest CT scan results. No cancer detectable. 3 years since I finished active treatment, I remain in remission. Not bad for an incurable

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."
No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance
The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

Went back to Prunella Scales's contribution to Barkworth's "About Acting" today. Not just because it is immensely funny and charming, but for the most unfussy, practical, and profound description of a proper acting process ever captured in print.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

Keaton just had whetever that is; that unteachable, undirectable multiplier. She made the mediocre, good, and the good, side-splitting.

They have control of almost everything.
Almost all your money goes to them, nearly 70% of people are employed by them.
They don't pay tax, they don't maintain the essential industries that they control, they get 12% richer every year.
You cannot just ignore them.

I'm going to add one more question to this thread. This scandal is now well-known enough that many, many big name authors - and other publishing industry bigwigs - most certainly know about it. Why do you all continue to stay quiet? Why have none of you even expressed an opinion about it?
So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'
As founder John Mitchinson leaves, Unbound authors learn they will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books unless Boundless "survives and thrives".

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.
Netanyahu says Israel won’t stop the war until Trump’s plan to remove all Palestinians from Gaza has been implemented, calling the idea ”so correct and so revolutionary.” www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Saw the ever brilliant Barney Norris's Wiltshire set modern adaptation of Lorca's #BloodWedding at the Omnibus Theatre in Clapham last night. A tragedy that sparkles with comedy. Runs until 24th May. Highly recommend. Photos are from a fab Terri Paddock Q&A after with cast, playwright & director
