The answer to this is that if we do not repeatedly reinforce the taboo against this stuff and explain why it is wrong it gets worse. β€œJust call it names” does not work. We’ve seen the failure of that over the past 18 months.

Feels like the world quietly missed that less than three years ago, Britain’s *the actual Transport Secretary* used his Tory Conference speech to wheel out this insane conspiracy theory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYWU...

An image of Canadian actress Katherine O’Hara as the Schitt’s Creek character Moira Rose, providing the following advice: β€œTake a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, β€œOh, I’m too spooky.” Or, β€œnobody wants to see these tiny boobies.” But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes.”

How Big Tech ruined kids' TV On YouTube, the line between entertainment and sedation grows ever thinner

Love this article from the NS by @willdunn.bsky.social about how kids TV is on the way to becoming an unwashed mass of slop. (I produced an episode of the Sky News Daily podcast on a similar tangent a couple years back - linked below)

All about the baby cheeses: how to curate a festive cheeseboard to remember Perfection is a hard, a soft, a blue, a sheep and a goat’s, say our panel of experts, but three to four generous wedges will do the trick

Massively impressed that the Guardian have snuck a Kath and Kim joke into this Kitchen Aide article headline.

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

What does this do for women's rights?

a wonderful christmas time bab by David Chipakupaku on Apple Music Playlist Β· 194 Songs

It's that time of year again...I'm sharing my Christmas playlist, which I believe is actually pretty iconic. A wide range for you, from Γ„yanna to Holly Waxwing, via RuPaul and Kylie, by way of Blossoms and The xx.

READ IN FULL: The full transcript from Bev Turner's interview with Donald Trump The President sat down with Bev for GB News's US programme The Late Show Live

Wild how GB News can spend years screaming about grooming gangs and demanding total transparency on child sexual abuse…but the moment Trump sits down with them, its all smiles

It doesn't count when it's rich white men, have I got that right?

God speed whichever broadcaster takes this on and can convince the entire nation that this isn’t β€œjust The Traitors” when it’s just The Traitors.

A thing that never stops being weird to me about social media is the sheer number of people who have hallucinated a version of a political figure who is completely different from the person whose opinions you can, you know, read about in books.
