in many ways the writers saying "oh no they killed Bond!" makes me more worried that they thought Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and everyone in between were playing the exact same character with consistent memories and shared experiences, I find that viscerally upsetting

There is precisely one person who should get to play James Bond at this point and that person is Natasha Hodgson.

Says a lot that this could be about the UK or America's "left wing" parties
I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

It is utter bullshit that the mistaken splicing of two bits of his January 6th 2021 speech on Panorama in October 2024 had any significant impact whatsoever on the reputation of Donald Trump in Britain, or globally, and the claim for $1 billion damages is bullshit and bullying by the US president

a lot of people say they love nature but act real weird when you ask them what animal they support. "oh I don't root for one animal, I like them all really" damn glory hunters, make me sick

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

This is actually… worse than the BBC edit?
I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Trump is senile but I think he was actually meant to say this, he was swearing in military enlistees apparently, not swearing his own oath to uphold the constitution
The supposed leader of the free world just read out “I, and state your name…”.
I mean, when are the aliens coming?

i feel like this is a reasonable take that i would have held pre-2024 (the BBC did screw up therefore there should be accountability) but the fact that this trivial editing mistake should have such terrible consequences, while right wing media lies with impunity constantly, makes my head explode
Exactly, so the BBC didn't need to shoot themselves in the reputation by editing it that way. But they did, and here we are

And the response of this government?
No - not to fund and run them better and prepare the ground for success.
But to join the baying mob. 2/2

The BBC is the latest part of ‘the public realm’ to feel the wrath of the right.
The playbook is wearyingly similar.
Underfund them. Hold them (piously) to the highest standards. Pillory them for all errors. And then co-opt, or neuter, them. 1/2

Okay so this is what I suspected, it's a site that is spreading misinformation with the plausible deniability that it is satire. Obviously Trump is as thick as pigshit but i also don't think these "satirical" sites should exist because they're genuinely dangerous
There's no joke. It exists to stoke outrage for people dumb enough to think it's real.
It's working exactly as intended, it's just usually sitting Presidents aren't so gullible

in fairness that is some pretty weak satire, to the point it's kind of hard to work out what the joke actually is
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Arthur Miller called the main character in Death Of A Salesman "Willy Loman" as a bit of clever foreshadowing because, by the end of the play, he is a very "low man" (he kills himself)

This dishwasher is probably broken now. The reviews of every dishwasher on earth are: average 3.5 stars, 5 star review says "its a dishwasher no problem" and 1 star review says "this dishwasher shot me with a gun!"
I have a samsung dishwasher and it wasn't working very well so I looked online for information about it, I looked up "samsung dishwasher not working well" and the answer I found for that was "yup."

The best thing about the Shaun the Sheep theme tune is the way that it posits that in the distant future the audience might make a scientific breakthrough by which they can enter entirely fictional worlds, thus preempting the concept of the novel Ready Player One (2011) by four years
