The reason the BBC works is that it hardly has to think about commercial interests or catering to a certain specific audience (aka affluent subscription users).

The people who should know this but don’t is really concerning.

Reason the BBC works is its universality. If you replace that with a subscription, it is gone forever.

#TheHack
70% of hacking victims were not famous. They were ordinary people. Victims of crime, terror, other newsworthy incidents.
This was never about celebrities.

Jennys my queen

Ok I admit it my mum took a paracetamol when she was pregnant with me bc she was getting a headache from my dad info dumping about trains

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
