He uses "trendy" as a noun in that review, classic sign of a cunt

is that a transparent background or is he back at the mod club?
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 30 January 2021 12:24 (three years ago) link
Everything about him is transparent.
― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Saturday, 30 January 2021 12:26 (three years ago) link
mark s would give him a kicking for using "wondrous" as well!

can't believe it took me until last week to find out he has an Oxford PPE

proper prick?
― calzino, Saturday, 30 January 2021 12:30 (three years ago) link
Can see why he loves proper working class folk and their music then

it's been a very successful grift for nearly 30 years, and he doesn't have a backup grift to fall back on?

This list has lots of people I expected to see, and also plenty I didn't. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_University_of_Oxford_people_with_PPE_degrees

Non-UK Politicians is where that really kicks off imo

oh wait hang on it subsequently kicks off even more. Will Self!

oh shit actually all the architects of doom are there. my god

Self may be the least objectionable person on that list

that isn't far off the truth

There are quite a few people I like, Dennis Potter did it too! But the list is about 25% straight-up evil and another 50% are we could say "overachievers" in their professional lives

It's the journalists that really sting. They're all in the same nauseating club as the cunts they're meant to be holding to account

less PPE more PPE
― nashwan, Saturday, 30 January 2021 14:04 (three years ago) link
I need some PPE to protect me from PPE's
― calzino, Saturday, 30 January 2021 14:10 (three years ago) link
to controps a wee bit on this, the issue with oxford PPE as a degree is that it is (or anyway was) capacious enough to sport a large ambitious subset happy to go all in as a kind of club or gang of backslapping n backwatching n backstabbing wronguns on the rise together
(lol i think 9 ppl in all took the same combined finals as me <-- indie as fvck)

UK weather: 'messy mix' of wintry conditions expected this article has been hanging around the UK headlines front page for a couple of days now. i tend to have an adverse reaction to weather journalism anyway but the sum total of this seems to be “it’s winter”? for noobs?

Context aside, idk how well the Guardian approach of hiring people prominent on Twitter and trying to control what they post there will work.
One of the most serious threats to free speech is the silencing of criticism of the government of Israel. I have now found this out the hard way, having just been fired as a Guardian columnist for sending a tweet about US military aid to Israel https://t.co/EEfLqjY1IM— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) February 10, 2021

i was going to say maybe they saw his clobber
that tweet is honestly the most human-sounding verbal expression i've ever seen from nathan j robinson

Haha I listened to him read the audiobook about being a socialist and he reminded me of every socialist I met at the Oxford union

Extraordinary stuff from Sonia Sodha in The Observer.

I guess having denounced the left as racist, ‘trans allies are no better than racists’ was inevitably next.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 14 February 2021 11:49 (three years ago) link
Oh yeah, “race traitor”, that concept and insult so common on the left.

the kind of people Ed had advising him as labour leader eh?

I’m pretty sure Bindel’s transphobia got her booted from The Guardian on more than one occasion before the editorial team lost the collective plot.

Still, good to see the BBC’s guidelines kicking in.

w/o naim attalah the wire would absolutely not have made out it of the 80s, or hired (or indeed fired) me lol

my new ethical consumption thing is im no longer clicking on guardian etc hate reads and from now on will only post cached via archive.org as i refuse to give them their hate clicks. actual journalism stuff is fine, but not their 'why transphobia is not only the best strategy for labour, but morally correct' think pieces. i invite you all to join me in this high-minded and self-satisfied activity.
― plax (ico), Sunday, 14 February 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
I've been doing that for a while now, which, along with the fact that I'm not British and don't live in the UK, explains why I hate The Guardian less than some of you. Ignorance is bliss.
