Would it be a sunday morning without the Irish Times doing a puff piece on how great the Brits were in the North? Today we have ex-SAS saying they did nothing illegal, talking about govt betrayal. Oh the mirth, the numerous books, interviews, dogs on the streets etc were all imagining it!

I assume, based on the overall thrust of the article, that the phrase "aggressive tenant-friendly policies" is intended to sound negative. But you could run for election with that as a slogan and win.
In a city packed with mighty real estate titans, they are the small ones.
New York landlords say they are at their breaking point as Mayor Zohran Mamdani begins to implement even more aggressive tenant-friendly policies.

The Scream franchise fired one of its actresses for her pro-Palestine social media posts! They had to change course and re-hire original cast members to fill the void. I love the first film but there have been a lot of uncool decisions since then.

This is something that bugs me about "snobbery" arguments in defence of those entertainment products which are blatantly the rich and privileged ones: the books in every 3 for 2 deal in every bookshop, the films on half the screens at the multiplex, the songs you can't hide from.
Scream 7 is the perfect example of what I was talking about in the now infamous video, where from a fandom perspective horror is the underdog and must be protected from criticism at all costs which creates a breeding ground for bad actors to basically do whatever they want.

Pageants themselves are a remnant of another era! There was a beauty contest bit in a Simpsons episode we watched recently, and my daughter (10) had never heard of a pageant before.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.
