At this point we can only assume Labour's plan is to make everything as shit as possible so that at some point nearer the election they can undo it all again and everyone will go ahhh, that's better.

🧵 On 17 December 1976, Thames TV aired a debate about paranormal beliefs. And it turned out to be one of the greatest half hours in British television history. Believe me: it's the best thing you'll see all week.
First off, host Sandra Harris gets things rolling: (1/12)

On a train to London today, through a frozen and flooded landscape. Highlight has been a pile of manure, steaming away, as if it was a boiling pot. This is the man I've become - a composting obsessive, rubbing my thighs at a steaming pile of manure. Well, I guess there's worse things to be.

I sold out Hammersmith Apollo a few months back, but could easily bump into a school pal who thinks I haven’t released anything since horse outside. The parameters of what is considered fame or success have changed massively. Fame is a construct that’s decided by corporate media, in my experience
Is the end of the fame game nigh when everyone can be micro-famous now?
‘As viewers are funnelled towards content they will like, fame has been atomised. It is possible to have a hundred million online fans and still be unrecognisable to people in your home town.’

One hundred million fans cannot make you famous
Mass, cross-generational audiences have disappeared and even MrBeast can’t find them

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

All the chat today has made me reflect that I've always had an echochamber, without actively pursuing one. I even looked at twitter today for the first time in months (to check something), and I don't see the cesspit that others do. I've always relied on others' screenshots. I don't mind this.
