All four living Hitchcock blondes should sue. And then the dead ones should come back from the grave and sue some more.

Listening to American podcasts is such a wild ride. You’ll go from a segment explaining why whatever issue is being discussed is just a symptom of late-stage capitalism into seamless segue like “and because living under capitalism is such a stress, I’m delighted to be sponsored today by betterhelp”

Part of the problem here is they keep hiring comms people from newspapers who know how to pitch stuff to their former colleagues - but these tricks don't work anymore.
This does seem to be a relevant question. Reading the Sun and Guardina pieces side by side it is hard to believe they are describing the same policy. That kind of spin might have worked in 1990s but in a social media ecosystem where anger goes viral is is likely to generate own goals
And once again, I ask whether Ministers and No10 realise that the readership of one paper can in fact read the contents of another.

'Fewer than half are even fully aware that universities conduct research.'

Real indictment of universities' strategies and comms this. An own goal that could and should be rectified. Engaging broad publics with research is not rocket science. And if it were, universities have rocket scientists. 3/3

Martin Scorsese is 83.
I love Marty but he went way overboard de-ageing Pacino & DeNiro in some scenes of The Irishman.

Ok, Taylor Swift and Coldplay ran gigantic tours in the last few years but I still think Mozart’s European tour from 1763 to 1766 was more impressive. Source: buff.ly/vpchRZk
