@The_Globe was a dream. I had the privilege of spending last weekend learning in this incredible theatre as part of the Playing the Globe course for professional actors #actorslife #thiswoodenO

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

“Chatbots are going to render books obsolete” is an amazingly dumb take because the information they give you was illegally trained on millions of books. Gullible people see these bots as omniscient gods when they are plagiarism machines. They can’t think, they can only steal.

This shook me. @GarethSouthgate hits the nail on the head. Not just affecting men. It’s consumerism, capitalism, a wafer thing superficial culture which says looks, fame and money are the only things that matters. Things are broken. We need radical change in almost every area.

In honor of international women's day, let's take a moment to remember the most famous statistician in history. You've definitely heard of her, but you probably have no idea she was a statistician. It's Florence Nightingale.

And, given that we were playing royalty, of course I had to try the throne for size!

1/ This is breath taking. One of the responsibilities of the assisted suicide committee is to consider safeguards against domestic abuse and exploitation of the elderly. Diane Abbot's reasonable amendment asking for this has just been voted down. This is outrageous.
Leadbeater rejects proposal from Diane Abbott to hear from charities working with those vulnerable to domestic abuse and coercion, particularly older people (versus academic expert) Naz Shah tried really hard to change minds. Committee votes no.

it’s about the fact that you’re destroying the planet, trying to put millions of people out of work, making the internet unusable, and turning all culture into slop. hope this helps!
the ai hate is obviously not about ai, it is about something else. from experience i know this thing is comprehensible and articulable but i can't quite figure out what it is. (not a joke:) it's hard to focus bc every time i try to talk to an ai hater they are yelling at me

Theatres across London’s West End will dim their lights for two minutes at 7pm on Tuesday 21 January in remembrance of renowned British stage and screen actress Dame Joan Plowright, widow of Laurence Olivier, who died earlier this week at the age of 95.

please stop babying broadway performers. the tickets are hellishly expensive, there’s ton of performers who would fight til their last breath to have a role on those stages, and each one of us knows that even if you play ONE role you must know basically all the lines of the show.

honestly I think saying that classic literature like Shakespeare or Chaucer is inaccessible just creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's a bigotry of low-expectations. Oh, you're a working-class kid? You can't possibly understand Pilgrim's Progress. Stick to Love Island, ok?

uk theatre I am begging you instead of investing in AI BLOODY INVEST IN YOUR CREATIVES JESUS CHRIST 😅 I swear AI is something middle aged people and people with no imagination think is gonna save cinema and stage. It won't, it'll just fuck the environment. Stop being dumb.
ICYMI: @TheRSC is to embed AI into live performance as part of a £13.5 million government investment package 👇

The way Denzel Washington, during the Gladiator press run, is telling every person who’ll listen that a milestone career like his starts with working on stage and in theater—it’s just the most beautiful thing.

C.S. Lewis died on November 22nd, 1963. #OTD After the death of his friend, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote: "So far I have felt the normal feelings of a man my age — like an old tree that is losing all its leaves one by one: this feels like an axe-blow near the roots."

Yes, Richard II @_bridgetheatre has a magnificent cast, but this historical family tree company list is absolute genius. Every Shakespeare production should do this moving forward. 👌🏼
