I see a lot of polite debate about immigration to the UK that completely ignores the fact that some folks aren't upset about immigration levels today. No, they're furious about the existence of ethnic minority Brits.

How can she possibly make herself heroic in this? Have we lost all ability to address our choices and take any responsibility or interrogate and recalibrate on those choices and decisions? Are we lost in a megawatty cloud of narcissistic delusion where a half baked confessional Selfie saves mankind?
Watch til the end. How has no one asked her this before

Sad news about Daniel Woodrell, writer of the excellent Winter's Bone, The Maid's Version and Tomato Red. I chaired him in Dublin in 2012 and he said his first four books "just disappeared" but he was determined to keep at it (and we got those brilliant later books). RIP variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Cameroon’s opposition leader, Anciet Ekane, has died in detention. Ekane was taken into custody days after 92 year old Paul Biya was declared the winner of the presidential election and the country was rocked by protests. The family has been offered no explanation about his cause of death.

I would go to Paddington. I love Paddington.
Let joy be unconfined: The musical of Paddington is overflowing with warmth and outrageously funny performances and is going to be a marmalade-flavoured megahit. My @variety.com review: variety.com/2025/legit/r...
‘Paddington’ Review: A Furry, Funny, Fantastic Musical Comedy
With songs by Tom Fletcher, it's a show alive not only with joy but that vanishingly rare theatrical quality: completely beguiling charm.
