I predicted the Oscars news last September in my column for @shotscreative about how Barbie became a big pink capitalist cult while Ken got all the kudos.

Things I’m completely sick of:
- Being told to ask nicely for equality
- Being told to be “less angry”
- Being told how to react
…so I wrote a column about it!
Tone policing is out of control, and it’s fucking dangerous.

The news lately got me upset, so I did what I always do. I WROTE A COLUMN!
It’s about girls.
& why no matter how smart, brave or superhuman they are society will never take them seriously.

Listen. Do you work in the creative industries?
Are you FUMING (about something related to the creative industries?)
Do you wanna scream at me for 15 minutes, on camera, while I try & wind you up even further?
I'm looking for a new bunch of people to interview for #ShotsFired

"He’s shining a light on the stupid shit we’ve normalised & the preposterousness of how we talk to each other. It’s a confirmation that normal (at work) is fuckin weird."

This is me and the truly awesome @keano81 talking about ending EOP and agencies protecting our people.
I do a laser cannon noise at the end that I think came out well.

In the continuation of this new series, which sees @keano81 speaking to people about the thing that really fires up their anger, @halostudio_love's #NickEllis gets heated about how the ad industry takes people in, chews them up then spits them right out.

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.
