“Does it pass the Daily Mail?” Is not something we should have to worry about. And yet
On every public policy committee I sat on - gambling, drugs, animal experiments, law of homicide and others - someone would ask ‘But what would the Daily Mail say about our recommendations?’ I now regret that we never gave the right answer. ‘We shouldn’t care.’

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

feels a bit bizarre when the UK music industry isnt doing shit for trans artists, esp trans women. there's an incredibly vibrant scene underground but nobody is breaking through; still zero trans women outside of electronic music signed to merlin or larger labels
