How pleasingly ironic it would be for the British Broadcasting Corporation to remind Americans what the First Amendment is all about. The BBC may be about to lose a director general, but it still has a spine. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The BBC has no choice but to teach Trump a lesson about free speech
The corporation may have lost a director general, but now needs to prove it still has a spine

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

I’ve been making #RecipeOfTheDay – Kale with Chorizo and Poached Egg – for over a quarter of a century, and recommend it deeply. The kale I tend to go for now is cavolo nero, rather than its original curly kale. Recipe includes my stress-free egg poaching method, btw www.nigella.com/recipes/kale...
