Like the Guardian, people view the BBC as left wing and, as a result, their combined anti trans campaigning has done more damage to trans people than the entire right wing media machine, because they legitimised the right wing's lies.

BBC staff need to walk out if this doesn't stop
It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

I've always felt the traditional religious view of virtue - that you should be a good person to secure a good afterlife - is cart-before-horse. Surely we should strive to be good people, to do the best we can for each other, here, and now, to secure the best outcomes in this, possibly only, world.

One day the Tom Hollander episode of Bedtime Stories will be back on iPlayer and we can all marvel at him reading Chicken Licken because it was non-ironically *amazing* he goes in like it's Shakespeare, no holds barred, 100% commitment.

As I’ve seen this confused a few times, please note that Robin Gibb was a much-beloved member of the Bee Gees, whilst Robbie Gibb is the BBC board member who also, totally coincidentally, was editorial adviser in the set-up of GB News.
I know, Bee Gees, GBeebies, a bit confusing…

I have already had several lawyers (former and present) reach out to thank me for my bravery in writing this piece. It's astonishing that stating such an obvious truth (that the judiciary cannot avoid the prejudices of the society it operates within) requires courage at all.
"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

Not that anybody cares about Bond continuity but if you absolutely have to deal with it then open with the new actor having bandages removed from his face and reveal he's been stitched back together post-explosion. New actor can have a line about looking more handsome now. Easy. Where's my cheque
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Just make Jane Bond starring Katy O'Brian and watch the entire world tear itself apart. Outdo the backlash the female Ghostbusters got by, like, an order of magnitude. Set it off like a grenade and watch the discourse lay waste to everything humanity has built. It's the only way.

Cafes that put food on napkins are an abomination. They render the napkin useless and you end up with paper in the food. Yes, I am in a cafe with napkin remnants stuck to a panini.

As with the EHRC, I think there has been a deliberate wrecking strategy, where there first stage (now pretty much complete in both cases) is to corrupt the organisation to the extent that the people who would defended it the hardest instead see it as irretrievably broken.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The boy (13) is doing gothic literature in English and has to write a gothic story. This has several promising elements - burning abbey, nuns, senseless murder - "but," he says, "I keep worrying it's turning into a comedy." So begins the most important lesson of the gothic.

Listening to ISIHAC and they're doing a round of ruin a quote by changing one word, and Rachel Parris just did "it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a good pegging" and this is the kind of content I pay my license fee for.

The BBC is a wonderful, precious thing, but fuck me it's been poisoned in so many ways the last 20 years.
One of its top news folk boasting in public about taking away children's healthcare is genuinely terrifying. Not just that she did it but that she feels emboldened to boast about it
