Armed with only a brilliant script, even a young inexperienced screenwriter can get their work produced by a huge studio.
You just have to WANT it hard enough. Reach for the stars, budding writers!💫

STOP ENDING EPISODES WITHOUT CONCLUSIONS.
By far the worst “innovation” to be introduced by streaming. Stop baiting me into watching the next episode if I can’t actually do so.
You have a game cycle that is the perfect length for an episode, use it!

It’s galling that the tech bubble is still so overinflated with capital that we don’t find out nobody knows how to make any money out of a new idea until about 25 years in, when they’ve destroyed all the proven industries that did it perfectly well before.

I love London so much. So much.
Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?
Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

If Trump is actually ill, I truly hope that he's getting the best medical attention that RFK Jr. can offer.

A collector's edition front page. The Metro team clearly had to start printing just as the game went to penalties but before they knew the result. A masterpiece of hedging.

Imagine not being able to see others' humanity because the thin layer of their surface is different from yours. What a terrifying, clueless, wretched way to live in this world.

RIP Paul Stephenson, who has died aged 87.
He organised the successful Bristol bus boycott of 1963, now recognised as an important moment in British social history - by winning the argument against racial discrimination in practice, and then in law too.
