Last year’s hit Fringe musical was Hot Mess, a rom-com between Earth & Humanity – featuring a new play grounding its narrative in the reality of the climate crisis
part comedy, part eco-thriller. It follows four teenage girls who take extraordinary measures to stop a billionaire from building a marina that will destroy local wildlife. They plan to kidnap his grandson, sure that revolution will follow

One of my closest friends has written a full-cast horror audio drama inspired by Robert W. Chambers’ cult weird fiction collection, The King in Yellow.
The first episode has been released and it's immaculately done. Original music, a brilliant cast and script, you can listen to it on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

This amazes me. I've had to stand behind a couple of people for a couple of minutes a couple of times.
We would not regard this as satisfactory running anywhere.

A good read on the Poppy obsession that sweeps the UK annually, and in memory of his father, by the late Robert Fisk back in 2011 -
"I remember that they wanted to remember their dead comrades. But above all, they wanted an end to war. But now I see these pathetic creatures with their little sand-pit poppies – I notice that our masters in the House of Commons do the same – and I despise them. Heaven be thanked that the soldiers of the Great War cannot return today to discover how their sacrifice has been turned into a fashion appendage."
Even more true today I feel.

Activists called a protest after the Scottish Government approved a new gas-fired power station in Peterhead this week, warning there were "no treats for John Swinney"
The decision to approve the power station was previously branded a "catastrophic failure" by environmental campaigners, who accused the Scottish Government of "climate hypocrisy"
