Happy New Year! I hope that 2024 brings all of us all the joy, peace, satisfaction, good health, progress, great sleep, amazing books, movies, and music, and blessings that we deserve as well as an immediate ceasefire 🇵🇸. Stay safe, hydrated, and moisturised. Love you all! 😊

Lucy Beaumont on sky news just now was an unreal interview. She’s the whistleblower for David Walliams, and says her work will dry up because she’s the one who has helped the girls who were vulnerable. Girls who were suicidal because of what they’d been through. Very powerful.

They're on a blue graphic background with the text "what does Samwell hockey mean to you?" spanning the background behind them.

nice! really great point from Stavros Halkias in this segment: "I do think people should face social consequences for helping evil, because we've gone completely away from that."

Robbie Williams defends Olivia Rodrigo after she was accused of copying his song “Candy” with “take me home (4 christmas)”:
“Artists deserve to be protected. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes as a winning lottery ticket. It sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs. And do you know what? I couldn’t care less. I don’t know whether there’s technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue, or no issue whatsoever. And I don’t want to know. I’m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f**king sanity has to prevail […] We all stand on the shoulders of people who came before us. Sometimes consciously. Sometimes without even knowing it. That’s how music works. If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone.”

I’ll be honest, maybe because persuasion was written from Anne’s pov, I found Elizabeth quite vain, cold and unlikable. I can’t wait to dive into #toes and see glimpses into my Wentworth and Anne’s HEA as well as see what the writers have in store for Elizabeth

I’m not very invested in Elizabeth Elliot (a story on an older Margaret Dashwood would be cooler) howeverrrr I think this team did a fantastic job with the other Bennet sister (and arguably improved it from the book) so I’m open to seeing how they approach this next series
EXCLUSIVE: 'The Other Elliot Sister' has been greenlit at BritBox following the runaway success of #TheOtherBennetSister with Ella Bruccoleri.
The 10-part drama, following Elizabeth Elliot of Jane Austen's 'Persuasion,' will be adapted by 'The Other Bennet Sister' writer Sarah Quintrell, and is the next project in an entire BritBox franchise dedicated to Austen's forgotten heroines, 'Austen Untold.'

Seeing a lot of ppl complain about this - Elizabeth Elliott is indeed a snob and mean and selfish in the same way that Mary Bennet is dull and awkward and a fun sponge (aka how they are in the original novels).
I'm personally stoked to see how they can redeem an Austen mean girl
