Morning all. Today’s challenge is to tell me a short phrase that will mean nothing to a different generation.
I’ll start with ‘Tonight Matthew, I’m going to be…’

A supermarket shelf where a pack of Soreen lift bars has been deposited in the space where some bubbly chocolate lives

At this point, a choice was made

Do You Really Want to Hurt Me by Culture Club.

Beautiful Day by U2

But Sadie is also 20 so they have to keep it that way 😆

Have you seen his ‘statement’ put out by the team? Not sure it rings true

If it’s any consolation I missed this revelation too!

The absence of trans people from the British media is part of the problem. I'd like to offer mentoring to trans people trying to get into journalism, free of charge. Most of my experience is obviously in political commentary, but I might be passably useful in news and other areas.

NEW: My latest @theipaper column on why alarmist, exaggerated warnings from private schools about Labour’s VAT policy were given so much attention - and what it says about Britain. Read here👇

And I thought my two weeks was a long way (though I did miss about 8 weeks before the Outback which I’ve not caught up yet)

I heard it from Damon on @fastcuriouspod.bsky.social today

this quote is basically as close as I'll ever get to a religious text, I always reread it in the way I assume some read the bible

First heli shots at Suzuka since the 90’s - maybe they’ve not changed the cameras 😆

Writing alt text for something you don’t understand is difficult. Sort of two small colanders joined together but yellow.

Real talk: what is this, a testicle colander?

accidentally typed "kelptocrats" and now fascinated by the idea of a world filled with wealthy gangsters making their money by taking algae from their people

You would not put this person on TV to lie for the White House unless you explicitly wanted your audience to be misinformed

Nah that’s just another cock and balls story

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the narrative!

Text summary of Sky’s ownership which has been by Comcast since 2018

Lucky for you he hasn’t owned it for nearly 7 years then

Thank you so much for the memories you’ve given us, Joe. It’s been brilliant 👏

Dale Vince @DaleVince Guido Fawkes used a doctored news clip to smear my reputation and it snowballed into a right-wing pile-on involving the Daily Mail, GB News, three Tory MPs, one Peer, Richard Tice and Paul Staines. Having just beaten the Daily Mail for the second time - If this were a football game the score right now would be seven nil. I believe in free speech and a free press - but neither of those things is the freedom to be dishonest. The court ruling today makes clear that I was seriously defamed by Paul Staines and that left him with no real prospect at a full hearing. He has therefore conceded. Paul Staines is now liable for substantial damages and costs and must remove the pages on his website which contain his falsehoods and refrain from repeating the allegations. I believe this case is the first successfully pursued against Paul Staines and his Guido Fawkes operation. Staines has in the past bragged that his offshore operation enabled him to operate outside of the laws of our country – I am happy to have burst his bubble. From now on he will have to be diligent and accurate with what he publishes. Last edited 3:02 PM · Feb 26, 2025 · 174.7K Views

This is big. Far-right troll site Guido Fawkes has always claimed it isn't subject to UK libel law as it's officially offshore.

Today it conceded that it defamed Dale Vince, making clear it it's subject to UK law. No more dodging scrutiny. Staines will have to play by the rules like the rest of us.

He nails it.

Don't believe the Quickflix Neighbours nonsense - more chance of me finding the money to save it by digging around under the sofa cushions

TV Tonight article which reads: "Neighbours has actually been successful on Freevee, but Amazon axed the platform itself late last year, moving the soap to Prime Video. During that time the execs who had originally championed the recommission had also gone, with a change of direction under the new regime."

Ooh you’re actually further behind than me! I am only a week behind but at Christmas I was 4 weeks behind. Absolutely valid point
