Doctor Who "The Story and the Engine" - you are wonderful! Another superb contribution this season, from writer Inua Ellams! I cannot express how beautifully-written this episode is!

Sorry to see Iga having such a tough time at the moment, but I will always support her through highs and lows (she’s already an all-timer)! Coco was just relentless today, and good luck to her in the final!

Andor - one of those zeitgeist shows that's also unafraid to point out the darkness in a revolution, and the morality of every action. It's just so good, and light years ahead of any politically-themed series!

One of my favourite articles I’ve written. I ADORED Ryan Coogler’s #Sinners and for @digitalspy.com, I took a look at how Coogler used the vampire genre to explore Black history and the blues. Warning: spoilers ahead! www.digitalspy.com/movies/a6450...

The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out! 122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

Is there any accountability left in America, because it's getting pretty late for a lot of things right now? A narcissistic baby is handing out Newton's Third Law of punishments with impunity and a lot politicians and lawmakers seem too shell-shocked to take away any of his toys!

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

As someone who works in the education sector, including working with boys, Adolescence has really hit the nail on the head regarding the silent influence of the internet and perpetrators who have manipulated these lads to think that the world is against them. It's so heartbreaking!

I think a consensus is brewing thst Jasmine Crockett or AOC as president would be a dream come true one day! Difficult to imagine under the current climate, but as we Welsh say “I’r gad!” (To the fray)

Happy World Book Day! A passtime that allows the world to learn, gain compassion, knowledge, understand the past, predict the future, escape from reality - or see reality unlocked all around them. It's a way for author and reader to communicate emotions beyond speech! Books are wonderful!

Severance needs to give other shows a chance! A truly spectacular series!

Agreed! Exploiting other people's creativity and imagination - which has been gorged on by a technological monster - to avoid having to use a single brain cell. And Elon and his ilk have the gaul to brand hard-working people as unproductive. Brash, evil stupidity!

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Warren Gatland has been - and always will be - one of the greatest champions of Welsh Rugby. His legacy for Cymru remains legendary, and I will forever be grateful for his devotion to the team! Diolch Gats!

Severance is so fiercely original, magnificently-filmed and meticulously-crafted; it could well become that show that conquers the world!

Word of the day is one I may have mentioned (frequently): a ‘snaccident’ is the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits.
