'Reality leaves a lot to the imagination'

[Variety @Variety]

BAFTA and the BBC failed Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, the Tourette's community and viewers when they allowed the N-word to be aired during the BAFTA Film Awards ceremony.

With a tape delay, this moment could have been handled differently. The audio could have been muted in the broadcast. The segment could have been edited. Instead, the slur went out. And now it lives online — free to be clipped, circulated, divorced from explanation and used as shorthand outrage. Or worse, it can be used to spread hate. https://t.co/7RYqGI5zLO

Ethan Hawke says it's 'crazy' to cast actors based on Instagram followers

“Sometimes I’ll be setting a movie up and someone will say, ‘Oh, you should cast Suzie.’ I’m like, ‘Who is she?’ ‘She has 10M followers.’ I’m like, ‘OK cool, has she acted before?’ ‘No, but…’ And you’re like, ‘Wow, so this is going to help me get the movie made? This is crazy.' So if I don’t have this public-facing [platform], I don’t have a career? And if I get more followers I might get that part?... What?"

"So many young actors that think being an actor is protein shakes and going to the gym...go to the gym if you want to, but that doesn’t make you [an actor] ... Robert De Niro is not great because he has a six-pack. If the part calls for it, he’ll do it, and that’s awesome. But he’s so much more than that”

Big up this kid. The BBC asked him about his A-level results. And he called them out for being complicit in the genocide.

"Keir Starmer said: ‘Well, if you don’t like it, leave.’ So I did, and Jeremy and I – along with millions of others – are going to build something new and different. And they are rattled."

In her first interview since resigning from the Labour Party, @zarahsultana sets out her pitch for her and Jeremy Corbyn's new party.

Whilst the Daily Express front pages the human catastrophe in Gaza, our Prime Minister writes in the Sun about how he will stop refugees working for Deliveroo...

A little girl plays alone amidst the rubble... no swings, no friends — only the remains of a city that once pulsed with life.
Amid all this destruction, her heart still finds room to play.

"The "Spokespeople of Israel" told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

They are evil beyond words...

Powerful words by American actress Hannah Einbinder.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and will cost lives.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.

Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?

There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.

!!!!!!!! the team from No Other Land calling out Trump while talking about Palestine

"The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living."

What the government can’t afford:

❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance

What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.

Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.
