And Kuenssberg and Mason are somehow still employed. 🤡

Of course, the main problem with the Corporation is that news thinks it's the reason the BBC exists. It isn't. In the formative years of the Corporation, news was a part of it, but it wasn't the main event. The BBC's reputation was only partially made by news. The other stuff matters more.

Davie didn't resign because the BBC misreported anything. He resigned because he didn't want to *defend* the BBC from right-wing criticism.

tuning into BBC News

“Now it says here that you’re interested in the vacant position of Director General of the BBC?”

Inspired by @cooraysmith.bsky.social's latest Psychic Paper post

Whoever is the new Director General at the BBC, hopefully Tim Davie will stick around to film the regeneration.

Hearing that Tim Davie is resigning and then hearing why.

Tim Davie isn't taking it well.

Live look at Tim Davie

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

BBC News currently showing BBC Broadcasting House as BBC Chair says it is a sad day for the BBC as a BBC correspondent reads out resignation statements of BBC bosses

Penalty missed - Erling Haaland

There's lots to be written and read about Jim Crow in the US army in WW2. But this is good on how local Brits often refused to accept it. Experiences Of Black Americans In Britain During World War 2 share.google/39ZYPKITB1c9...

Grok make me a picture showing what barely concealed hatred looks like

Well this is disgusting. This should be a huge political scandal in the USA, but it's not. Because they've effectively switched sides and nobody in any position of authority the USA disagrees enough to condemn it.

The Star Beast. Not sure that joke about Rose not being able to act was the wisest move. In the same way you should never write the line “this is boring” in a script.

Fond memories of fawning newspaper profiles a few years ago about “the footballer who reads Nietzsche”

Somebody at Virgin Media google translated the rugby position 'hooker' into the Welsh for prostitute 😄

Truly the world's most pathetic man.

Quentin Willson: Former Top Gear and Fifth Gear presenter dies aged 68

If I have learnt a single thing from 8 years of arguments about The Last Jedi, it’s that George Lucas was absolutely right to just explicitly and clunkily spell out themes like “I knew there was more to you than money!” when the franchise started rather than trusting it was clear to the audience

Not sure why this was pushed into my Google feed but fucking hell LBC, if someone tells you they'd rather the Nazis won, you can't in good faith report that as a criticism of the current government.

JUST RAISE TAXES. MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR SOLIDARITY AND SHARED SACRIFICE FOR ONCE

Really quite fed up with this now.

If you’re reading about James Watson, and trying to find out if it’s true that he and Francis Crick stole Rosalind Franklin’s work, denying her a Nobel Prize, I can help. It’s... complicated

Just thinking how Rear Window must be the most terrifying sounding film title to most Russians

You’d *think* the (nonsense) pay deal story would deliver a slam dunk for the Green Party and yet and yet

Amazing

Look I know delivery drivers aren’t paid much, but you’d think “ring the doorbell” would be a fairly basic requirement of the job.

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have “earnings over £125,140” I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

I personally think every offensive tweet about Jeremy Vine cancels out one of the others. Balance those scales.

Former Premier League footballer Joey Barton has been found guilty of six charges relating to social media posts about pundits Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko and broadcaster Jeremy Vine, and not guilty of six.

I feel like I could live with the brass neck - it is the seemingly successful way that he and others have brainwashed themselves into thinking “our crumbling justice system” has an explanation beyond “we didn’t spend enough money on it” that I can’t stand.

Very serious country.

Ah, I see the earnest quote reposters have arrived/America has woken up.

I once again want to thank the ninety million Americans who didn't bother to vote because they thought Harris was no better.

I just laughed aloud and smh on reading that the password for the Louvre’s video surveillance system was simply “Louvre” when last month's robbery occurred. Some of the security systems were running on Windows 2000.
