Honestly, fuck the Telegraph.
This is like saying 'Yeah, I'm not going to be paying my leisure centre subscription any more. But I would still like to use the pool. And the gym. And the squash court...'

Since the Brexit referendum, the Telegraph has become the Pantomine Dame of confected outrage against the very thing it fought for and continues to uphold. The new Schengen Entry and Exit System isn’t sound border management but a “pointed insult”. Hilarious.

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist
Nathan Rimmington, 33, is a haulier and owner of an HGV driving school in Barnsley. Huge, tattooed, always sweating and always pining for a pint, he is portrayed in the series as an incorrigible joker: "If the government don't crack down on immigration, my kids will have to go to school on fucking camels."

I really want to see a photo of this 79-year-old male visitor looking shocked. Ideally, while holding a vegan tampon.

It does seem to be a thing that dickheads are getting worked up about.

I mean, admittedly it will have been a lot less traumatic for him than it was for millions of others, what with his dad owning a diamond mine or whatever it was. But still...

Bloke who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa reckons UK childhoods were weird and dysfunctional.

Between them, Tim Davie and Robbie Gibb are killing it aren't they?

I think it's a bit of both!
I think she's out of her depth but I do strongly suspect she has certain sympathies. But I haven't watched QT for years. Horrible show.
mrpmharrison.bsky.social
I wish some of them would start speaking up then.

It's incredibly sad because I'm a long term defender of the BBC, conceptually at least. And I still think lots of what it does is brilliant and wouldn't be done anywhere else.
But I fear BBC News is beyond saving.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

The new Blue Lights has had some iffy reviews.
Well, fuck all that. It's magnificent.
mrpmharrison.bsky.social
Oh god, is she in that??
Fucksake, I'm going to have to watch it now!
mrpmharrison.bsky.social
I watched it recently too.
Lesley Manville = oof!

They released a new album earlier this year.

Still, I guess it's nearly time for Antifa after-work pints at the 'spoons around the corner so it's not all bad...

Happy Friday, Antifa warriors! 🥂🩵
Funny meme with a picture of an "Antifa" headquarters that reads:

Just got to my desk at Antifa. I can't believe Karen in HR scheduled the mandatory Molotov cocktail safety training today.
Nobody feels like that shit on a Friday.
mrpmharrison.bsky.social
Ok, well thanks for that constructive contribution. Now fuck off.

Yep. I find sm's effects on the over 60s far scarier than its effects on the under 30s.

The problem isn't that they're 'marinated in social media'. It's specifically, that they're marinated in X - an algorithmically distorted version of social media that consciously, maybe even deliberately, promotes conspiracy theories and the far right.

The problem isn't just that they're “marinated in social media”.
It's specifically that they're marinated in X.
And the problem isn't specific to "a generation of young producers".
It's BBC politics coverage, full stop.
