It never does. But the apology from @thetimes.com to @mothinali.bsky.social should travel as far as the original article.

The normal, every day Chase, is perfect telly. Big money maybe, really hard to win anything, keeps you totally invested, cos winning is so rare and winning big I still think I've seen only once! Do I want celeb chase or chase around the world?

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Your replying to a post where someone is sharing their experience, then saying 'that's just a few people' diminishes it... even while you acknowledge the pain it brings. We need to properly give space to that without the yeah but no but

Hello, in the interest of giving really talented young musicians a boost (and also because it’s a genuinely gorgeous song), Taylor Mitchell’s debut single is out on Friday 28th and you can pre-order/save here. She’d love it to be shared widely, thanks in advance. ffm.to/tell-me-all-...

Perhaps we ought to take a moment to reflect on how many white male cishet privately educated non disabled men have been given jobs and promoted without question based on fabricated CVs, unfounded self-confidence and an embellished life story & whether we’ve even heard of them.

She nails what it means/ how it feels / how you get captured by an instrument / music. It's a thing of beauty and it left me in bits. Have I sold that week enough? It needed a second post thing to do it justice!

Anyone close to Edinburgh when this is on: www.edfringe.com/tickets/what... should go and see it. And to take everyone you know - I saw Ursula’s [I guess preview] in London and it’s warm, funny, moving and I think everyone should see it.

Oh good. Sometimes I read it when there's no audio and am then disappointed when you post it again later, cos I feel I've missed out. Love the audio, I learn so much about writing from hearing the last steps of your process. It's a public service.

What can you get in Central London for £8? Cinema ticket? No. Coffee & sandwich? Just about. Tonight you could have heard 105 musicians of the BBC Philharmonic playing Betsy Jolas, Sibelius & Strauss at the BBC Proms. Some of world’s finest players are there every night until Sept 12. For £8. Go!

Jeez what's with the meeting the prime minister videos? Just awful. Are these filmed in arrival before they know whether they're in or out or what government job they've got...or after? 'Come back in and embody "energy secretary"'; ' Come back in and embody "Secretary of State for shitfuckNo! OhOK"
