I just hate clickbait when it's a news story.

I suppose one day, future civilizations may look back on this era as they labour to understand us, surrounded by files documenting the human rights abuses, the growth of fascism and the political sex trafficking rings and wonder what the hell we were thinking when we wrote headlines like this one.

It really is one hundred per cent AI. If guardian eds can't tell, they're in the wrong job.

Never ambush me with this again. I live my life trying to avoid ever reading this poem so I can function.

It would be so helpful if people read the article before they commented.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Plus if anyone were to read the piece, they'd see you've taken these words entirely out of context.

I was a vegan for years. It's light hearted. Some processed food is not that great, vegan or not. Stop trying to have a pile-on.

Oh hi there. I'm not anti vegan and I don't write drivel. Nor am I miserable. They published it because they asked me to write a lighthearted piece.
Thank you for your interest.

It's easy to think* that Reform is doing better than it is because it gets so much media coverage. It IS a concern but - and I know it's hard to strike the right balance and punters want news - a more balanced approach from journos would paint a different picture.

*I speak from personal experience.

OrbΓ‘n’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor OrbΓ‘n’s far-right propaganda unit?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.

Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

I love Small Prophets. There's so few charming programmes, but this is. And Michael Palin is just a delight.

I’m very far from the only person saying this, but it seems clear what is happening in the camps is worse than anything we’ve seen in public so farβ€”including Minneapolis.

At some point we will know the truth about the camps. I am very afraid of what we will learn.

So many weird salads and damp, spinach-y wraps, when a homemade cheese sandwich is so obviously the Lunch King.
