There are 3 types of newspapers columns

I am an utter sociopath
I am extraordinarily thick
Thank Christ for nepotism

They can, obviously, overlap

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Now I like pop as much as the next gay but this photo of what 5ive look like now is giving "Protest outside Asylum seeker hotel" or "January 6", "Cronulla Riots" or "Parliament Occupation" depending on your anglo-cultural position.

Today's BBC coverage of the football trans ban is more than a little shite.

This is a great photo and also the funniest possible way to promote the idea that Brad Pitt is a credible F1 driver

The ghosts of British Rail being re-nationalised as Great British Railways is worthy of a Hollywood handshake.

The implication here from the BBC is that al-Najjar children could’ve been legitimate targets if their parents had ties to Hamas.

Children are not targets.

We must side with the child over the bomb every single time, no matter whose bomb and no matter whose child.

Every time.

The interview just stops so the writer can start talking about the danger of trans people. Brains completely rotted by bigotry
Look what Gary Lineker said to Oliver Brown and the Telegraph about trans people...

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

The grim, prurient, click-baity choices of the Irish Times.

This article is a reprint of a NYT piece. However the NYT just included the first photo. The Irish Times decided to source an additional 5 invasive internal pics of the Hackman's home.

Not yet 100 days of Trump and they're already writing "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" pieces about potential shortages.
