Forgotten what a great cast it has! Mostly before they were famous, but lots of good established actors too, ImageImage
So many British mainstays! ImageImage
"You're fucking pathetic, just a hack!"
Red Riding airing the whole British commentariat. Just the cherry on the top that it's Eddie Marsan pissing on himself!

People still don't seem to understand the seriousness of the Nationality and borders bill and all its fascist implications. I've given up trying to tell people. I was born in 1979 so have SOME protection. Anyone black or brown, born after 1983 does not.
The only reason I came back online after 2 and a half good years being offline was this bill. If that does not tell you something then I don't know what will get through to you. Bar ALL the articles I have written about it since December.

Aaagrhggh!!! @dominiccampbell told you!!!!
I recenrly wrote about how learning instruments from seven years old onwards made me able to multi task/create. I think it opens something up in a child. I think it's also been instrumental in why I seek patterns, which is basically all I do when trying to investigate something.
I wrote about it here samanthaasumadu.substack.com/p/investing

Oo! This is my kind of dilemma.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - seasons 1-3
This Life - Series 1 and 2
The Shield - all seasons
The Wire - Season 2 and 4
Grey's Anatomy - Season 1 and 2
Hmm gonna be thinking about this more though!
Hacks! Brilliant writing. Atlantic, specifically the barbershop episode, which is the best episode of TV ever made bar none (in my opinion) And some episodes of Girls too. Parks and Recs - Season 3 and 4 👌🏾
Actually yes, Enlightened too! Funnily enough the guy who wrote The White Lotus, also a great script was in it.

Have had so many non-black people try & erase the radical history of @WritersofColour in the past few months. And I say fuck you to them, we were there first and sacrificed A LOT to build this platform from scratch. Anything you've done in the past few years is built on our backs
This is a celebrated author honouring @WritersofColour. And I'm grateful for the acknowledgement.
This is someone who was a @WritersofColour columnist completley erasing history. And even more ridiculous, most people in that anthology wrote for us. It's why I have an acknowledgement in the book from Nikesh. Darren Chetty's essay in it was first published by us in 2013. 🤘🏿
