Circus Piddly at Waterloo by the Old Vic is very funny, super skilled and totally charming (what other circus has tricks with custard creams and tight gaffertape walking?) Go with children or without.

Training materials obtained by @theintercept.com include specific examples of permitted hate speech that “demonstrate that Meta’s policy changes are political in nature and not intended to simply allow more freedom of expression,” EFF’s @jillian.bsky.social said.
Leaked Meta Rules: Users Are Free to Post “Mexican Immigrants Are Trash!” or “Trans People Are Immoral”
Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”
