had to laugh at Rolling Stones's U2 profile in which Bono compares Rosalia to Martin Luther King - the writer/sub shouldve noted that they're referring to a track about MLK on Unforgettable Fire as, unless you are a sufficiently big U2 fan to know about the track, the quote just comes off as mad

am used to disagreeing with the political direction of the BBC, but the more recent development is just how fucking WEIRD the vibe is, across different outputs. Think something's badly wrong at the mgmt lvl

If Shabana Mahmood is tough, why is she so slow to crack down on Danny Tommo and the far right?

Clive is of course correct, and the key thing here is not that Watson has succumbed to temptation: he was a bullshit artist and a crook ten years ago too. This is just what the system looks like when there is no longer any need to pretend these people work for you, not their future employers.

It's kinda nuts how radical it feels to have a politco whose thing is "what if I didn't make a big show of utterly despising cities, the people in them, and their cultural output?"

So as a journalist, I would not grant anonymity to the vice president of the United States. That's not journalism, it's stenography. We are here to hold power to account, not to say how high when they say "jump." This kind of access journalism is part of the damn problem.

Let's nail what's going on here: frail vicars who oppose the incineration of babies with British munitions components are being manhandled & hauled off in front of the press for peacefully *sitting down*. Violent tooled up racists are *filming themselves doing crimes* & are handled with kid gloves
A Hampshire Constabulary statement said: "As a result, six people were arrested for offences including careless driving, assaulting an emergency worker and aggravated trespass. They remain in custody at this time and our enquiries into these incidents continue."The police statement did not make any reference to Mr Thomas, but added: "We are also aware of a video circulating online relating to damage being caused to a boat in the English Channel on the afternoon of September 22, and we are conducting enquiries into the matter."

It is probably right to make it the headline. To omit it entirely while finding space for "organised recent protests" looks like bowlderising the news out of some curiously skewed idea that being even handed means out leaving out the facts www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Ed Sheeran ditched his friend on the demands of a right-wing billionaire and has the nerve to say "in these situations, you really find out who your friends are" and " I’m feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me." You abandoned them. You had all the power here.

found sunak's times article moving, but also genuinely frustrating. In particular, there is a bit about how he spent half his premiership trying to deport people to rwanda! Profoundly disagree with his assertion that part of why we're here is because the scheme wasnt allowed to work.

The usual moral “I’ll support anything as long as the rosette is red” voids in the replies to this. The reality is that Sunak did take real political damage in sacking Braverman and taking the whip from Anderson. Starmer and Burnham both useless on this.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.
