also IMO her examples aren't really wrong. Yes some people questioned whether those players were English but there was a pretty strong consensus at time that the people who did so were racists. The point isn't there wasn't racism (there def was). It's more society didn't say "and that's acceptable"

These AI-generated ads have jumped the shark. Why is Laura Kuenssberg in a messy hotel room with a man who is making her miserable? Why is she wondering what's in a holdall which is obviously full of money? And what is going on with the shape of that bed?

I'm a lifelong opponent of the death penalty, but people who refuse to move up or down the Glider bus, leading to passengers having to crowd into the areas around the doors and stopping anyone getting on or off, should be summarily executed.

I think I first became aware of Stephanie Cole through repeats of Waiting for God. Then I noticed and admired her in loads of comedies. And, of course, as a massive Cabin Pressure fan, I loved her performance as Carolyn. Thanks for all the laughs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New from me on my Political Sandbox Substack: We Shape Our Buildings Parliament can move out for 25 years and spend £15.6bn, or stay put for 60 and spend nearly £40bn. It will stay put, and the reason is neither money nor heritage. politicalsandbox.substack.com/p/we-…
Detailed monochrome illustration of a packed Commons-style debating chamber, rows of near-identical besuited men facing each other with more watching from the galleries. The ceiling above them has partly collapsed, with cables and ducting hanging loose into the room. Water stains run down the panelling, scaffolding stands against one wall, and a single red bucket sits on the floor in the middle of the chamber catching a drip. Nobody is looking at any of it.

It's all just so crass and vulgar. How did we get here?
Text from the Guardian: "White House communications director Steven Cheung posted in reply on X: “Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics,” while White House spokesman Davis Ingle posted, “Jon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a shit what this lightweight loser says.”"

Calculated my insulin dose for breakfast, injected, and left the house. Unfortunately, I left my breakfast behind. Fortunately, I had something else with the same amount of carbohydrate. Unfortunately, that something else is 2 packets of crisps. 😬

Listening to #bbcwato about people having to retake their driving tests because they want to drive a manual but passed in an auto. My clutch control is good (it's maybe my only driving skill that is). I thought I'd always prefer a manual. But now I drive an EV and it's just really pleasant.

Dermot Murnaghan wrote the introduction for a commemorative booklet about Sullivan Upper around 2001. I started in 2002, so I read it. I could never see him without picturing a 12-year old crawling past the principal's house because he didn't want to be seen without his school cap.

This is the face of a girl who was very disappointed when I opened the car boot and then told her not to get in because she wasn't going anywhere. She seems to have got over her disappointment and she'll get to go in the car to be reunited with her family tomorrow.
A German shepherd collie cross sitting on a concrete patio with a big smile on her face. Behind her is a garden with a big lawn, a wooden fence and various plants including a big, purple hydrangea. About half the garden, including the patio, is in the shade. The other half is in bright sunshine.

Follow-up report: the actual people *in* the office were great. Really friendly, helpful, efficient, and passports arrived in lots of time. It feels almost gauche using social media to say that you had a GOOD customer experience, but we are where we are.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

Fun fact, when you're talking about Lord Londonderry, you're supposed to pronounce it Londondree (no, I don't know why). Apparently, Sarah Keith-Lucas is so posh, she thinks that's how you pronounce it when you're talking about the county as well.

I despise both Jenrick and Braverman, but what is the point of this? Were they supposed to not grant asylum to someone who was entitled to it because they had clairvoyance powers to predict that 3 years later that person might commit a crime?

The narrative podcast which I made, with a cast full of brilliant talents and absolute nobodies, is over for series one. All 24 episodes are now bingeable if you're the sort of person who likes to wait and binge. I think it's one of the better things I've offered the public in my time.

I know he was in a practically impossible position, and I don't know what he did or didn't try to do behind the scenes, but it is, frankly, a bit late for Edwin Poots to start telling people that Donaldson proved himself to be a repeated liar now that Donaldson will never run for election again.
