Prevent is hilarious

Yes, a fair point. I do really appreciate the suika recommendation, was struggling to find something good for mobile just the other day

Yeah, I find the disdain is rooted is some very specific games. Never really heard anything bad about Threes, Triple Town or SpaceChem (to name three mobile puzzle games I loved)

I was commenting on/askinga about where this disdain comes from not on Suika Game
November 11, 2025 at 9:55 AM
Isn't there good reason for some of the disdain? A lot of match three games aren't puzzle games (e.g. Candycrush), they are closer to pachinko in that they are minimally interactive but largely RNG driven. And they are frequently covered in micropayments.

Farage annd Johnson's privileged access to the BBC predates the current Tory appointments. The BBC isn't reformable, any reform that you do get will push it further right. What it needs is to be wound up and replaced with something better but no gov't has the will/interest in doing so

I put in a freedom of information request for her register of interests, which would reveal if she owns OpenAI shares. The government refused to share it, claiming it contains ‘personal information’.

For context, the PM’s previous AI Adviser’s register of interests *was* published.

3/5

Sure. Just thought I'd add a couple of bits if you were interested

Editing the battle of Orgreave footage to imply the miners attacked the police first was 1984. The BBCs own white paper on news coverage in 2009 showed it was heavily biased to right wing guests/quotes. Boris Johnson and nigel farage's first appearances in HIGNFY were 98 and 2010 respectively.

Recall that the BBC were instrumental in laundering the reputations of both Farage and Johnson. Brexit and Johnsons's comically poor governance were strongly aided by the BBC. Those seem way more destabilising than Trump being pissy at the BBC and forcing out it's right-wing chair

Destabilise the UK? Worse than Labour are already doing? Come on. Labour are fucking it in to the sun and BBC are helping them at every turn. I do not think the BBC can be reformed per se, it should be destroyed and replaced with a new org that is fit for purpose.

Willing to bet her experience of "stonewall's influence" amounted to having to go on diversity and inclusion training she thought she was too good for and maybe also being told in an edit room she couldn't denigrate trans people

What are you protecting here if it is not fit for purpose? If this is what it takes to instigate root and branch reform of the BBC (it won't obviously) I'll take it.

Decade? The BBCs own white paper on its news coverage in 2009 showed it overwhelmingly favoured right wing guests and quotes. The BBC edited footage of Orgreave to imply the miners attacked first. Those are just two off the top of my head.

Can you explain how the country benefitted by having the BBC launder the reputations of Farage and Johnson?
November 11, 2025 at 8:51 AM
It is a right wing assault and the BBC is not fit for purpose both these things can be true at once
November 11, 2025 at 8:43 AM
Way more than a decade fwiw
