We go to Sun and Moon Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park every summer and it is always a delight. The Northcott used to do much bigger productions with ranked seating and sets, but Sun and Moon’s informality make it a treat.

This is the right approach to casting Bond.
Stephen BushCast a British actor my mother would describe as “dishy” and move on. It’s not that deep.
The UK NION has shared several campaigns in other countries in the replies to my post. The UK one is here: notinourname.org.uk

Jonn is right here. Part of life as a regular traveller on the line is telling tourists which side the sea will be on.
Jonn ElledgeThis piece covers a lot of the work @caelan.bsky.social did with the chat logs months ago: so much so that I checked at the end for an acknowledgement!

This is not just in the NHS. It’s lone social care workers going to people’s homes to help them remain independent and getting racially abused for trying to do their job.
elia ayoubAnd people are free to die of racism if it suits them. Medical workers are dealing with enough shit as is. It’s not their job to have to be uncomfortable in their own skin just because some white people have never grown up
The text of Labyrinth is clear that he is being forced to follow rules due to her invocation. “I do it all for you, Sarah.” There’s bits where Bowie plays it like he’s bored of the whole deal. He’s a Villain, not a villain.
Kingfisher & WombatLots of arguments for Magneto, Ozymandias and Killmonger, but my money’s always on Darth Revan. I will also argue that Jareth the Goblin King was neither right nor wrong but behaving exactly the way that an ancient fey acts when some dipshit teenager invokes him to steal her brother.
Great thread. There’s an informal kickabout in our local park which started as 2 kids and their dad this spring and is now about 16 kids of all ages. Every evening. Bikes for goalposts, etc I’m waiting for our local miseryguts to complain. We asked kids and teens to give up so much. Let ‘em play.
Gabby HCYes lockdown was really tough for kids. Lots of those kids are teenagers now so maybe as a thank you our establishments could stop deliberately making even more things worse for them due to a weird systemic hatred of our own youth
Me and @markclapham.bsky.social have been 'curating' our collections (i.e. getting rid of bits that are rubbish) but I *must* know local #DoctorWho fans in need of MOAR STUFF. Especially up Brizzol way?
Daniel EkeI know I have quite a small reach on here but is there anyone on here who is a Doctor Who fan based in the South West? I have a lot of old stuff from my childhood and I’m looking to downsize, would like to pass as much of it onto a loving home if possible
I'd missed this when it was published. Thanks to @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social for highlighting it. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Here’s what else you could have done live in the space of a football pitch and in five minutes.
Mike ParkerFive minutes of utter joy: hundreds in central Birmingham singing and dancing their hearts out to ELO's Mr Blue Sky. They performed it live on TV, part of the handover ceremony to the city for the last Commonwealth Games. As they say on Insta, watch to the end. #brum www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU_x...
Another great piece of reporting from the Sheffield Tribune.
Sheffield TribuneThe Peak District is burning — and where there’s fire, there’s smoke. Given Sheffield’s proximity to the park, it feels inevitable that, if more frequent and severe fires keep happening on the moors, they are going to have an increasing effect on us. The question is, can we do anything about it?
Wasn’t expecting UEFA to bring the Marxism to the chat, tbh.
George MonbiotNeoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”
