This is what I suspect. I’m taking the conspiracy a bit further. Maybe they didn’t allow participants to actually choose their charity because they would have had to vet them and it’s a legal hassle for 19 participants. So maybe they pre-selected a couple and told participant to just pick one.

No offence to my partner but I want Nick Mohammed to hold my hand and tell me I’m doing brilliantly next time I give birth. #CelebrityTraitors

Also would have genuinely loved to know which charity everyone was playing for!
They were so discreet about it, it almost sounded like they had been contractually obliged not to name their charity.

I am actually really upset about the way #celebritytraitors handled the charity thing. What a missed opportunity for all those charities that could have gotten much needed attention if they had allowed participants to say who they were backing (or added it as a banner under their names)

Me: gotta give credit to the Germans, they really care about the environment more than the rest of us.
My kid’s nursery: please buy this 2-euro-made-in-China-piece-of-crap plastic toy for the Lantern Festival. No we won’t explain what the Lantern Festival.

Australian eSafety Commissioner would probably know/have something to do with it. I suspect it’s done out of “wanting to help” without too much thought put into actually cases/risk of abuse but I might be wrong.

Am I missing a trick or are they totally ignoring the fact that seeing original artwork involves getting out of your house, walking a bit, being around people in a usually quite pleasant space? All factors could be affecting biological data a great deal more than the authenticity of the art?

I love that they’re removing his Style.
Want the next statement (for when they next find out about another dreadful thing Andrew has done) to be: His Majority is killing the Vibe of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

the brutality of the statement from Buckingham Palace is right up there with Alan murdering Paloma in plain sight #CelebrityTraitors

Not that they would worry themselves too much with facts but I think they should check out the way mizrahim tend to vote in Israel. (Or for that in France where the majority of Jews are Sepharadic).

The year is 2080. AI is running what is left of humanity after the climate collapse and the spread of new viruses. Only half the planet is inhabitable. And Buckingham Palace just announced that Prince Andrew has just been stripped of another title "in light of new information"

Oh I know but as a French-British-Israeli citizen living in Germany I just think the other 12% are much more charming and interesting with more interesting dilemmas and you could make better series about us. Very unbiased opinion here 😉

Come and make Netflix series about those of us who live in France, in the U.K., in Argentina, in South Africa, in Australia and Uzbekistan. We also have a nice sense of humour but we eat different food, don’t live in enormous suburban houses and you might discover not everyone is Ashkenazi.

My alternative take: a lot of the problematic representations of Jews in pop culture come from the fact we only ever get to watch American Jews doing American Jewish things and playing off American Jewish cliches.
But there’s more to the diaspora than the US!

omrilh.bsky.social @omrilh.bsky.social · 8d

As if we haven't suffered enough, watching "Nobody Wants this" as a Jew is extremely depressing. The non-Jewish characters are portrayed as individualistic, shallow, and lacking any meaning in their lives. The Jews are portrayed as overbearing, ethnocentric, and patronising.

Which leads me to rule #2 of catching benefit fraudsters. Just don’t. You’ll waste way more money in attempt at catching hypothetical fraudsters than if you just hand out the pretty minimal amount of benefit people get anyway.

Eva Blum-Dumontet @evabd.bsky.social · 11d

Rule #1 of catching benefit fraudsters: if you think someone is committing benefit fraud they probably aren’t. They’re probably just doing something totally normal as part of this thing called living life that your system failed to account for.

NI parents caught in UK crackdown lose child benefit after travelling via Dublin

Exclusive: new anti-fraud system fails to account for fact many return to country via airport in Irish capital Parents in Northern Ireland have had their child support payments stopped as part of the UK government’s crackdown on alleged benefit fraud simply because they returned from a holiday via Dublin airport. So far 346 families have had their benefits frozen, an investigation by NI online newspaper, the Detail, shared with the Guardian, has discovered. Continue reading...

Designing a character on #FM26. You have 500 jaw types and can refine them by the millimetres.
Then you go to the hair section and it’s like “long hair/short hair” “hair colour: black/orange/yellow.” I see you’re trying to cater to the needs of lookmaxxers.
