In the culture wars, I want to be the bit on Christmas Day where they all knocked it on the head for a bit and played football.
I 100% believe in the romance between Keira Knightley and Joe Wilkinson, am heavily invested in their pie, and don't wish to live in whatever paralell universes it isn't happening in #waitrose

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

Can't believe there are conversations about ending the BBC. This is like listening to a family calmly discussing whether to shoot it's dog, or burn down the house.

There are British Trump fans on Twitter openly begging him to sue the BBC so we the tax payer can hand him a few million.

yes the question is not "are the BBC perfect?"
(obviously not, sometimes they are awful)
it's "if we let them fall, will we like what comes next to fill the vacuum they leave?"
(no. no one on Bluesky will like it unless they are purely on here to hate-read.)

BBC needs to be protected. While they certainly have leanings towards bias on many issues (imo) & can be infuriating, alternative is a media controlled by ratings driving advertising revenue & drowning in bad actors w/ personal agendas - the poison will spread through UK media landscape as a whole

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.

@naomialderman.bsky.social's new book: "A friend - who’s read the book - texted me yesterday to say “I see they’ve decided to burn Tim Davie at the stake today”. And so I thought it was probably the right time to put this extract on Substack." naomialderman.substack.com/p/the-bbc-an...
the BBC and why it needs defending
even if you don't always agree with it, and sometimes it does things that you think are outright terrible

This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

I'm on a northbound groovy train* for tonight's launch for Paul McCartney's Wings – The Story Of a Band On The Run at Waterstones. I think my fellow panellist @quantick.bsky.social might be on the same train.
*Peter Hooton from The Farm (not to be confused with Junior's Farm) is also on the panel

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

This plan is obviously bullshit, but I would totally watch a Towerblockuster/Football Hooligan movie that was 50% Die Hard and 50% The Firm.
Jason Statham would be the leader of the Hooligan firm that ended up saving the day by thwarting the terrorists.
This movies absolutely must get made.
