A few years back I saw a woman get in a car and close the door on her scarf leaving it dangling on the road and the car stopped in traffic a little bit ahead of me so I ran to the car and knocked on the window and was trying to gesticulate about the scarf but she didn't speak English and was terrified at this random person banging on the door and ranting incoherently while pointing at my neck and the ground and the door until I eventually took my scarf off, pointed at it, then pointed at the floor and she looked and realised and went from terrified to relieved and embarrassed.

I'm not judging any part of this, if a friend or family member or partner went missing I'm sure we'd all do whatever we could. "Whatever we could" is a different proposition for a london based director of marketing who, presumably, has an address book full of media people.

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
I recall some years back, a pretty blonde teenager had gone missing (sorry, can't remember the name at all - say it was Jane). And there was blanket coverage for weeks from the press.
Then one day, they found some remains of a girl, and the next day headline on one of the papers: "It's not Jane!" in a sort of 'hurrah' font. And I'm thinking: Wtf, it's a dead girl, and they're cheering that it's not Jane"
(It might have been Milly Dowler)

Same with the Soham murders. Two pretty blonde girls. Meanwhile IIRC a black girl similar age had been murdered somewhere (might have been Scotland) and not a peep anywhere.

My NHS national covid survey kit arrived today. Can't even use it because I have to book a luxury courier with a fridge van to pick it up.

I was supposed to do one of these and I booked the courier and everything and then when I went to do the test there wasn't a swab in the packet. It was just sealed and empty.

So I had to send the guy away empty handed and my record of never being tested for covid remains intact

The Crown is an enjoyable watch, but it is (a) very badly written [my missus is a script editor and development exec and the show drives her absolutely mental at least once per episode], and (b) it is decidedly a masterpiece of pro-Royal propaganda.

Infinitely expanding.

Suffice to say, I think the main issues are just the reams of extremely artificial and clunky expository dialogue, overly-obvious symbolism/lack of subtlety, and weird pacing issues.

But imo the performances are mostly great, and like I said before the production detail is incredible and a lot of the cinematography is very nice to look at.

That's just my pleb opinions and interpretation of her grumbling though, I'm sure she could be talk at length but she's in the middle of prep for a show that's shooting in April so I'm just not gonna mention work in any way unless prompted :yikes:

if there was a perfect way to signal to someone that you're not a threat then people that were a threat would immediately start using it to cover themselves. like when people thought wearing a safety pin would show you weren't a racist and then racists just started wearing safety pins. there's still things that are less bad, of course, but the only real solution is to create a world where people don't have reason to live in constant fear.

Nick Davies mentions in "Flat Earth News" that hes heard multiple stories from journalists who were sent out to cover stories about particular tragedies only to be called back part of the way there because the victims were black. And that book came out in 2008, so hes probably heard a few more by now.

I really want to dislike Nathan J Robinson but I'll read one of his articles and think "...yeah hes alright actually". He might be posh and faking being English, but he has made sacrifices; hes read several books written by Obama era White House staffers and writers. You know, the sort of person that would go to to write for Vox or appear on Pod Save America. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
