A good and compelling observation, you have to say
It’s gaining traction now because “Reform leader is literal Nazi” wasn’t much of a story, but “national media didn’t care Reform leader is Nazi because he helped fill column inches and then he became Prime Minister” is. Folk are trying to save their own reputations more than trying to destroy his.

I'm pretty sure it's been public knowledge available to anyone interested for years that Farage was an outspoken Nazi as a schoolboy. Like I'm certain I didn't make that up.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

if people are really giving out advice like this then making them thoroughly ashamed of themselves is a necessary act of self-preservation for our vocation, because the moment they become a majority it's time to pack it all up, game over
telling emerging writers that the only way to improve is ‘buy Final Draft/learn AI’ instead of ‘watch and read everything you can’ is… certainly a choice
like it’s the (paid-for) tools that’ll teach you what you want to say about the world and how to say it, not living in and experiencing it

Couldn't fucking parse this at first. Are these dipshits having a protest because these people are in fact learning English? Make up your fucking minds you stupid racist cunts

Desperately need our own dedicated platform for World Cup coverage next year. Not just for the Scotland matches either. Absolutely do not want a discussion of the latest from England's training camp at half time in Japan v Haiti in a tournament Scotland are playing at.

Underrated moment from the commentary box last night: James McFadden, himself the previous undisputed holder of the no2 spot, declaring at the end that we've just seen the 3 greatest Scotland goals ever in one match

There is absolutely no real reason a random 18 year old should have heard of or know anything about the actor and writer Wallace Shawn. It is not disrespectful to Shawn to accept this.

If you’re a theatre-maker, it’s hard to overstate how strange Wally’s film/TV career has been
On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
