Riot Women review – Sally Wainwright’s menopausal punk drama is one of her best
This high-pedigree TV drama about midlife women who form a punk band is up there with Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax. It’s rich, plot-packed, and perfectly seasoned with humour

Massive Attack announce alliance of musicians speaking out over Gaza
Brian Eno, Fontaines DC and Kneecap say group will support those subject to ‘aggressive, vexatious campaigns’ by pro-Israel advocates Massive Attack, Brian Eno, Fontaines DC and Kneecap have announced the formation of a syndicate for artists speaking out about Israel’s military assault on Gaza who they say have been subjected to “aggressive, vexatious campaigns” by pro-Israel advocates.

Drawing on 20 years of bipolar lived experience, Raven offers a darkly humorous yet poignant examination of how mental health conditions are stigmatized and commodified. The session includes film, AI-generated music, and invites participants to transform their future anxieties into a soundscape.

via a blend of disability satire and academic critique, Raven transforms the tears of PhD students and adjunct faculty into "therapeutic elixirs," explores the olfactory dimensions of mood disorders, and reveals how diagnosis might become the next competitive marketplace in our AI-disrupted future.

It’s hardly tragedy that I can’t tell
The milk’s gone off, eggs rotten. It’s no joke
With other things though – no internal bell
That signals smoke
