This makes sound like they've been killed.

This is very good
@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

It's very unsettling to see your employer come under fire from nefarious sources that actively seek to undermine what it does and what it stands for. The BBC makes mistakes - who doesn't? - but it remains one of this country's greatest assets and needs protecting from dark forces

Some absolutely ludicrously good goals in match day three of the Champions League. Watching Match of the Day and I've made several involuntary noises in response to some of the strikes across the continent. #UCL

It's amazing who you bump into in the office...
British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell joined BBC Breakfast this morning and was kind enough to stop for a photo.

The BBC is one of this country's great successes. Having lived abroad, its reputation overseas for broadcasting and programming is unmatched.
Reason the BBC works is its universality. If you replace that with a subscription, it is gone forever.

Season two of The Capture is up there with some of the best TV I've seen. Outstanding.
At least I think it was. Who knows if that's what was originally broadcast... 😉

I've said it before but The Defamation of Strickland Banks is an all-time great album. It's a work of genius. Massively underrated.

I love sport but few events capture the imagination quite like the Ryder Cup. I'm not a huge golf fan - I watch the majors - but I will be glued to my TV for the next three days. Sporting theatre at its very best. 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🏌🏽️⛳

Back in April, I ended up joining @SlimmingWorld - largely because as a Manchester resident you got 12 weeks free but also to support my wife. I was skeptical but today I surpassed my goal of losing two stone! You can see the difference below and I'm feeling good! 💪🏽

I have rarely seen such unadulterated bollocks. I loved Twitter, it was so important for my job. Then a mad megalomaniac took it over and made it so no one would see my posts unless I paid him money - and even if I did that I would be submerged in nazi hate. But yeah this is our fault.
One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.

Did we skip autumn and move straight into winter? It feels like a November evening rather than mid-September. Brrrrrr 🥶❄️

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred
I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇
