Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

In a time when the war on truth and independent media is hitting new extremes, our 'live journalism' theatre project, slated for 2026, is feeling less like a creative project and more like a necessity. As Bowie once said: "I don't know where we're going from here, but I promise it won't be boring".

Trump has blamed the Biden administration for the Washington plane crash. He singled out Pete Buttigieg for hiring people with disabilities and psychological issues for air traffic controller positions. He went on to say: "I don't know if air traffic controller was at fault". I'm not making this up.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

In an age of misinformation, journalism matters more than ever. That’s why Toni Attard and I are developing 'live journalism', a theatrical production that will elevate the newsroom, in all its complexity, to the stage. We hope some of you will join us on this ride. #journalism #media

Bluesky/Twitter-wise, it is extraordinary that a British, ahem, media figure couldn’t post simple condemnations of people comfortable with an adjudicated rapist, coup inciter & serial felon becoming Potus without drowning under sustained & vicious attack. I think that place boiled all our brains.
