i love that the #OlivierAwards celebrates local theatre and acknowledges that there’s so much more to theatre than the west end, but i wish that it would acknowledge that said theatre wouldn’t be possible without wigs, hair & makeup and that it had its own category #RecogniseWHAM

It currently has a 4.4 rating on Letterboxd, which is the same rating as Barry Lyndon. Hype culture has already predisposed me to be skeptical. It's not my fault.

My unpopular opinion is that TfL should raise peak tube fares more. In the mornings, stations and trains are uncomfortably overcrowded and it's often difficult to get a seat. Higher fares would help with that and raise more money to invest in newer rolling stock.

@ChrisAlvino probably wouldn’t have to stay late if you turned up on time

Literally me at several corporate jobs. Like my last CEO fought me to be at the office at 9am every day. Didn't matter that I was a top performer, a director of engineering, with one of the fastest teams in the company, and stayed late and worked weekends. He even told me,
Avery Edison@aedison
a friend of mine was the absolute top-performing employee at his job, blew everyone else away, and he was let go because he just *could not* get up in time to be in at 9am. all the early bedtimes, alarm clocks, phone calls and door knocks in the world couldn’t beat his ADHD

@beautaplin @tomieinlove this might be the most stupid thing i’ve ever read

@tomieinlove Language is not limited at all. In fact, it turns out it’s eerily structurally precise.

Have any philosophers thought that the world we experience may not be the actual world? Or the idea that language may be inherently limited in describing reality? Or maybe that our subjective experiences are outside the physical realm entirely? Did anyone talk about that?

🚨 NEW: The Government has proposed reforms to the vet sector amid high pricing:
- Mandatory price lists for common treatments so pet owners can compare value
- Mandatory estimates for costly treatments with clear explanations if prices change midway
- Mandatory operating licences for all practices just like GPs
- Mandatory disclosures of whether a practice is independent or part of a large chain
- An "easier and more effective" complaints route

@Emma_A_Webb they’re removing kidneys too i have heard. the horror of perfect safe medical procedures that only affect the person to whom it is happening 🙀

Surely even if you are pro-choice, you must confess that a country aborting 1 in 3 babies is not well. We are a sick morbid society.
Dr. Calum Miller@DrCalumMiller
BREAKING: over 1 in 3 babies aborted in the UK An estimated 300,000 babies were aborted in the UK in 2025 - the highest ever number. This is shocking. And the government is trying to expand it even further up to birth. Britain is broken.

insane outlook
Richard Murphy@RichardJMurphy
Christmas is economically strange. We stop working. Spending surges. Profit stops mattering. Time off is normalised. Family and care come first. And we accept all of this without question. That should make us pause. Because if we can suspend the rules of economics at Christmas, then those rules were never inevitable in the first place. This video is not about religion or ritual. It is about what the Christmas season reveals about our economic choices. It shows that we can pause economic activity, value rest, prioritise care, and organise work around life rather than the other way around. Christmas proves that life is more than money — and that a better economy is possible. The real tragedy is not Christmas excess. It is forgetting the lesson in January. youtu.be/pgFUNnP0Tj4?si…

So they'll put rents up.
So people cheering that minimum wage is going up will just be paying more rent.
Duh. 🙄

@cristo_radio totally agree. unlock the green belt and tax land banking so your house is worth nothing i say!

I don’t care if your home is worth £2m. Well done to you.
You’ve worked hard to buy it, using money you’ve already been taxed on, and you’ve also paid stamp duty to buy it.
For a govt to then say they deserve *more* money, literally for *nothing* every month due to its value is so obscene.
It’s everything wrong with the direction this country is heading- full
of envy, spite, and the penalising of hard work.
