Hadn't realised this. The piss beer parallel with all those artists who "got massive because of MySpace" when actually labels were already on board sorting everything out 👀
Probably my final point on BrewDog for today, but a lot of the coverage has their "rise" the wrong way round.

They 'broke out' because they won a NATIONAL distribution contract in a Tesco craft beer contest.

Tesco birthed BrewDog, not Watt's 'shock jock' marketing approach. That came AFTER.

Terrible news for the government and media. Now that their favoured platform is down, how can they reach their target audience of Nazis, misogynists and pederasts?

Anyone who still makes the argument that Russia is this all powerful state who ''doesn't lose wars'' should be forced to explain why Russia didn't do anything to come to the rescue of their allies in Syria, Armenia, Iran, and Venezuela in recent years when they needed them the most.

When you're impotently screaming for race-war but still take care to censor your swearing.
Briefly switched over from GB news, yeah that checks out

Remember when we used to joke about people ending up here and it seemed like a whimsical piece of comic exaggeration?
Fair play, Daniel Hannan's commitment to his comedy bit is unwavering.

I would definitely ensure my paper had a couple of minutes of fluff at the end, just to make sure I got chased off by the bear. 📄⌛🚪🐻
I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:

If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

1 in 5 children who have contracted measles in the London outbreak have been hospitalised.

None of them were immunised.

This is criminal child neglect.

Measles kills - and when it doesn't kill it can cause lifetime organ damage and infertility.

My phone signal seems to have disappeared right before my usual parental call. Almost reduced to holding it in the air like it's 1998 or something.

At what point do UK government services and public bodies say "enough is enough" with using the fascist Musk's social media platform?

*Academic sells history off to the highest bidder*

There, BBC, we sorted that headline for you

If he truly feels *a connection* to the find, as the article claims, would he not have donated it to a museum?
