Ever wondered where British TV news channels find all these young guests with near identical hard-right libertarian views?

Well it turns out a lot of them are being pushed out by specialist 'talent agencies' backed by US billionaires

Shocking salmon statistics out today. We are driving one of our most magnificent native creatures to extinction. https://t.co/ilcvl0lwz7

For the past six months, I’ve been trying to figure out why the tech industry – and in particular crypto – have been pouring so much money into political races.

The answer is bigger, and much more wide-ranging, than we think, and it appears in the New Yorker today.

In the latest article about Kamala Harris’ staff turnover in the Washington Post, former staffers complain that she expects her team to be just as prepared as she is, and to be able to explain everything they put in her briefings and schedule.

I really dig this. What a dreamy, sinister, magnetic film, the woodlands and moors look 💎 the lead is mesmerising 👁️ 👁️

[Chad Michael Ward @chadmichaelward]

Filmmakers are fond of saying "Just go out and film something!"

So I did.

I knew I would be near Dartmoor over Xmas, so I brought my camera & a stained dress. My amazing partner and I had a mere hour to grab as much random footage as we could with no real narrative plan. 1/3

Makes me want to dig through my old writing MA files on the laptop and see if there’s any gold nuggets to prise out…

[Vicky Ellis @evicky145]

An all-time favourite of mine.

My first short film script about a lost child and a father searching for her through a wasteland was inspired by it, many years ago.

This is a fantastic thread 🧵 😍

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

LABYRINTH was released 38 years ago today. An 80s fantasy classic and childhood favourite of millions, the behind the scenes story is as outrageous as the Goblin King...

1/35

Five minutes of toast scraping over the bin later and my late night snackery was back on track - with absolutely zero thanks to the Doctor 🤷‍♀️

[Vicky Ellis @evicky145]

Too busy reading tweets about how attractive David Tennant is that I burnt my toast. 😬 🤦‍♀️ 😍

Where was the Tardis when I needed it??

[Jack Wallington @jackwallington]

Pretty much every nature organisation, 350 of them, tens of thousands of scientists, conservationists and growers march through London to tell the UK the manifestos are woefully inadequate to protect nature and us. Unprecedented. @BBCNews … nothing 👀

Wins the internet today for me! 😜 🪔 💡 🔦

The moment we stopped watching Bridgerton

Let us explain ...

Things were going great and we were really getting into Season 3.

That is until we watched this scene unfold before our eyes ....

[Vicky Ellis @evicky145]

Consistently the best newsletter I get on the daily, this recent one from the Hustle really nails it. Today’s net is “like a darkly carpeted casino”… 🎰

🚨Israeli police is currently raiding Al Jazeera staff hotel room, confiscating equipment.

Rwanda bill an expensive & self defeatingly cruel symbol of damage Tory Governments do.

It won’t stop boats, will waste millions of taxpayer cash & still refugees will be at risk of harm under our watch. No one wins tonight. Our nation just loses more.

General election now.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Aside from the moral and practical vacuity of the Rwanda policy, one thing it illustrates - as we have been saying for years - is that the delays and shortages in the justice system could be fixed if the government cared to.

When they want to spend money on courts, they find it.

A water company released sewage into the stream that runs into the beach where we were holidaying. I didn’t like the idea of swimming in the sea after that, so I tried to sue to water company for spoiling our holiday. This is what happened…

Hugely entertaining. Great writing. Love it when newsreaders have to say filthy things in the name of fiction.
