A 1981 Cliff Richard Fan Club questionnaire filled in by Melvyn Hayes, where he lists his favourite record as "anything not recorded by Don Estelle". Harsh but fair.

this is beyond parody
Column: Erika Kirk, a mother to two toddlers, continues to take on public-facing leadership duties while promoting traditional ideas about prioritizing marriage and motherhood.

Here’s how her clothes are attempting to walk the same line: https://wapo.st/3N3czMn

TBF sometimes the untold story is "wife has high powered enough career to pay for the school fees"

And then they're like "I know them from some crap crap version of big brother, they would never betray me"

It is weird because simultaneously they might as well not be celebs but also "booooo tom sandoval I know you from what my wife likes to watch booo"

I did enjoy that the US traitors I've seen involved a whole (usually futile) metagame around them knowing each other reality shows (which also all US reality shows seem to do), like they're going to eventually build a show around "these are the last 20 people who have not been on telly"

I do feel like the hyper building everything around ad breaks thing has dialled back a bit at least, presumably because of steaming?

the only real jobs are working in a mine and coincidentally everything I have personally done that isn't working in a mine

I mean there is a political distance between fucking around and finding out

The most read thing afaik I did as a journalist was an article about a cadburys chocolate bar that combined seven different cadburys chocolate bars. Looking out the window wouldn't have helped unless it happened to be raining chocolate.

I mean I don't mean that as a dig, I'm sure "the thing they are being asked to do in order to receive money" does not align with that!

This is a truism about what the job of journalism is that I probably heard as a teenager but I feel like I have been alive long enough and vaguely media-connected long enough to say that I don't think that many journalists think it is their job?
As my journalism tutor said" “If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s not, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.”
I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".

It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".

The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

If your train to London terminates at Gatwick your rail replacement bus should be flight to City.
