Could I just a huge thanks and pay tribute to the wonderful work of @richieconroy.bsky.social and Mark Hodkinson who wrote the script for the Leonard and Hungry Paul series. Aside from it being a sensitive adaptation also they brought so many brilliant ideas of their own to it. Am hugely grateful.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
