Massive Attack put their money where their mouth is and bring focus back towards the environmental impacts of live events...and what steps can be taken to mitigate them. Great stuff. https://t.co/XnqTLsZguo

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.

From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.

You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

Lovely review for a lovely show...

Okay then. Who’s going to focus on the need for creators of new work that is more than text based, old school writer focussed but more process led, made, form & cross form based practice & work?! There’s an increasing turn away from supporting this work, these artists.

There are no stationary objects in the Universe: even our Solar System is moving not only around the center of the Galaxy (828,000 km/h) but also relative to its nearest stellar neighbors (70,000 km/h)

If Case's deck has an apple logo on it - I'm out. Murderbot's redacted corporation logo on the other hand...

[Chris Swain @chrismswain]

Just saw that Apple TV are adapting both Neuromancer and the Murderbot novellas! It's so great that all that money from their horribly overpriced and annoyingly restrictive hardware is going to make this happen. And Dune in the cinemas - what a time to be a sci-fi fan.

Last show...

Kin, which has been a huge part of my life for 3 years, has its 1st preview at the National Theatre tonight! My 5th lighting design for @GeckoTheatre - almost 15 years of shows in places as diverse as Shanghai, Mexico City, Bogota, and most glamorously, Ipswich.( 📸Mark Sepple)

The theatre industry is currently perhaps more inwardly looking at its own practices involving pay and representation than acting to reduce its climate impact, and tell the right stories. These young people are incredibly brave and have my respect.

I do the exact opposite.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

I Am The Resurrection by the Stone Roses is a great song, but it should end at 3:38 - the extra 4+ minutes of instrumental is crap and I always skip it at that point

[Chris Swain @chrismswain]

@greg_jenner What a song. I love it on so many levels - Songwriting, technical skill, humour, the understated Britishness of it. Perfect.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Every middle aged man just wants to be left alone. You cannot fathom how strong that desire is. To fulfill our basic obligations and then for the rest of the world to fuck off. Quite happy in our own company thanks. We dream of just being left alone.
