Amen. To. This.

There are some cases where I cannot meet your opinions half way.

This week I spoke about what #generativeAI has in store for the media industry, supporting @Media_Trust's epic Media Unlocked program. If your company agrees we need to see more underrepresented talent join our industry, consider this a sign! Get involved: lnkd.in/ePqWYhEw

🚨BREAKING ‼️ Excellent news that Court of Appeal has ruled Braverman's utterly inhumane, grotesquely immoral & totally unworkable #Rwanda scheme to be illegal too - & in clear breach of human rights law. Time for an asylum policy which treats people with respect & dignity.

'*All* trans women are held accountable for *any* misdemeanour by *any* trans woman. This is the very epitome of prejudice. “You cannot share our toilets, you cannot share our spaces, because you might be all the same.”' Amen to this (from 2020, + even more of a must-read now)👇

Incredible that there has never been a documentary like this.. until now. Thankfully, it’s nothing short of great. Watch it on catchup now👇#MadWomen @South_Shore_UK @Channel4 @WACL1 ✊🙌

Oh @drwilding. One of the kindest, most talented, smartest and most universally appreciated people I know. A relentless, inspiring joy on this platform that will be missed by those who remain, if anyone does. You made twitter better.

If you want to cheer yourself up, go watch the @Channel4News interview earlier this eve with @natashavasiliki, the Meteorites Curator at @NHM_London. Expertise, wit and warmth in human form. She needs her own show, immediately🙌👉

Nicola Sturgeon rips into Suella Braverman over her I have a dream comments "My dream is that we live in a world where those fleeing violence & oppression are shown compassion & are treated like human beings, not shown the door & bundled onto planes like unwanted cargo"

@Amelia_Torode Ah, so happy to hear this!

Never too late to 'go Picasso' - loved this. Thank you @JimCarroll7
