Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

Everything about this show is hilarious. Everything.
"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"

Continuing to be totally normal about this, especially Alice's Marilyn Monroe impression. So very normal.
Wait what Sarah Kendall and Alice Lowe were in a Channel 4 sketch show from 2008 and it's still on streaming. I promise to be normal about this.

This is one of the reasons why I balk at the idea that men are afraid to be perceived as abusive. In many cases, that perception is actually key to their success, because other people strive to make excuses for their behavior, deny it, redeem them, and elevate them in the process.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Who's the "we" here? Personally, when a "cancelled" performer comes back, I expect a tedious whinge about how you can't even repeatedly commit sex crimes over a period of years these days without the woke police coming for you.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Scary looking football lads in the pub. One of them is talking about when a flag shagger was putting up a flag on a lamppost outside his Nigerian neighbour's house. The phrase "So I said 'Take that down or I'll knock your fucking ladder down you Brexit cunt'" was used.

Your reminder that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a great song, and probably the weirdest massively famous song ever. You've just heard it too many times.

it’s funny how when people who own big houses are alive they had nothing to do with its value, but when they die their kids shouldn’t have to pay any inheritance tax because they worked VERY hard all their lives for it

6 Music is the only BBC thing I engage with these days, and the constant interruptions for hard right government propaganda are infuriating.
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper
