So #LucyMangan in @theguardian.com doesn't much like #HeatedRivalry well there's a shock, probably too #gay and #fun for her middle class prudish sensibilities.

Thursday Speaking, as we almost were, of the preservation of things that add grace and gaiety to the nation, research has found that the semicolon is in danger of dying out. Twenty years ago it was deployed once every 205 words on average. Now it's down to once every 390, and only 11% of people surveyed described themselves as frequent users. God, people are animals.

She has a point #lucymangan www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Bookish, newly published by Lucy Mangan.

Basically, this: It’s like a long letter for someone funny, engaging and wise about a thing you both love and that thing is: BOOKS! Joy be unbound. She ends surrounded by her 10,000 and I finished it, amidst my many fewer, happy to be of the same party. As will you be. #lucymangan 💙📚

@alexneedham.bsky.social @theguardian.com Would you please not let TV writers cover a whole series at once eg tonight’s Towards Zero review by #LucyMangan… at least give a spoiler warning

new #bookish book from #LucyMangan coming out this month! This piece is an extract: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/01/books-...

Say Nothing review – a compelling but fatally flawed account of the Troubles This gripping adaptation of Patrick Radden Keefe’s bestselling book tells the shocking story of the IRA’s Price sisters, but makes little attempt to hide its sympathies

So as per #LucyMangan: “as the number of deaths and orphans created by their actions mounts, Say Nothing comes to feel as though it has left too much unsaid.” www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Amazing evening watching Macbeth #macbeththeshow at the Liverpool Depot with #indiravarma and #ralphfeinnes! Outstanding performance apart from the leads for me by #benturner as Macduff and #lolashalam, #lucymangan and #daniellefiamanya as some very creepy witches. Brilliant.
