I'd say most people are posting very positively about his passing

Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 3d ago

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

Reading Jason Arday’s PhD thesis and there does seem to be some evidence of plagiarism. Alarm bells started ringing for me when he claimed that between the Manchu conquest in the mid-17th century and the peak of the Qing dynasty's power in the mid-18th there occurred an ‘administrative revolution’

Hauntology isn't real, people just put vinyl crackle noise on dubstep tracks because they thought it sounded cool, it had nothing to do with British Rail or Ways of Seeing on the BBC

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

Massive fair play to the Friends of Littleheath Woods for refusing to use the new and vastly inferior Croydon Council logo

As the old saying goes, when all you have is a trillion dollar global pharmaceutical industry, every problem starts to look like a chemical imbalance in the brain

you call that a crank theory? pfft

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

I suspect the 4th Viscount of Doxford will nevertheless scrape enough together to survive

‘A guy did a runner in a Jaguar’: the petrol theft scandal – and the garage owner struggling to stop it

Since the start of the Iran war in February, there has been a 23% rise in fuel theft, with more than £1.2m stolen from British forecourts each week. Why aren’t the police doing more to apprehend the c...

Andy Burnham at the end of a pretty decent speech this afternoon enjoying a standing ovation and a happy dance to ‘True Faith’…

Keep thinking about Harry Kane repeatedly dropping deep to collect the ball and then launching it out to the wing. Who are they going to cross it to.

Great to see Dan Burn, brought on solely to head away crosses, stood absolutely fucking miles away there looking on

Get Dan Burn off again

Hate Unai Simon so much lol

Have a completely vibes based feeling we would be slightly more likely to beat Spain than France so this is good really

Possibly a sampling artefact but have not seen a single reference #onhere to the Falklands outside of people disapproving of people bringing up the Falklands. A wholly metadiscursive phenomenon.

No one from England has ever had to ask how Donald Trump became president, the least surprising thing the yanks have ever done

Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social · 4w ago

If you're an England fan pretending that goal was legal because England is your team, never again ask an American how Donald Trump became president. He became president because humans lose their morals and perspective the *second* their emotions and biases get involved. Period.

29°C and an England quarter final later, the proper geezer levels in South London are already off the chart
