Anime has nothing on soap operas in episodes that are about 10% plot, 60% characters reacting to things and restating things, and 30% previews and recaps.

Powerful Two-Hander posted:I once heard a Jeremey Vine phone in "debate" of "centigrade vs Fahrenheit" and let me tell you it was a treat. Someone phoned in to say "actually of course we should use Kelvin" and united the other two "experts" in rage. I remember being given a lift home while he was talking to some churchy bloke about the problem of bats among the high ceilings. He asked why the bats couldn't live there, and was told that eventually the guano will cause serious structural issues in the ceiling. He asked why they couldn't be shooed, and was told that they don't really care what you do dozens of meters below where they nap. He asked why you couldn't throw them out, and was told that bats are not safe to handle without training and hazmat gear. "Ok, but why not use a broom?" "Well as you know lots of churches have high rooves" "... Ok, but why not use a very long broom?" There were a few seconds of silence and then my memory ends. I have thought about this exchange while high on acid. I have thought about it before being anaesthetised. I believe it will be my last thought as I die.

Were In in a church I would simply assemble the big sticks they have into a 30 foot sarissa and attack the bats in a phalanx. Alternatively I am sure the thurible guy could probably throw it like a bolas. I swear I used to know what they call the sticks they have stuck next to the pews for to hit the congregation with if they get rowdy.

What's actually happening in Neighbours right now? Established soaps are usually bulletproof until they go off the rails like Brookside did, so I assume it's done something similar.

What would be a satisfactory apology? He accepts responsibility and says he had no excuse. What more could he offer? You don't have accept his apology but this false pretence of "oh if he had done the right apology id forgive him" is fake. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Mar 3, 2022 |

So this is probably as good as it’s possible to get; I can’t think of anything better he could have said after his fuckup tbh. Did anyone get to attend the stop the war thing Corbyn spoke at? I went down a small rabbit hole following links from the Bad War Thread which led to a bunch of “Did You Know Ukrainian Neonazis Started It?” materials that I would like to believe were not genuinely distributed by Stop The War. The ultimate source was apparently the famously accurate Jewish Chronicle so I’m still holding out some hope that it was a legit event and this is some dickhead printing materials on his HP-Smart, rather than believing JC is platforming with a bunch of idiots saying “actually this time, give war a chance”.

So this is probably as good as it’s possible to get; I can’t think of anything better he could have said after his fuckup tbh. mostly i think it would be nice to see some actual understanding from him about why what he said was bad. the caller brought up conscription and he just dismissed it out of hand and imo the statement rings hollow. as i said i'm not suggesting he needs to have the show taken out back and shot or anything, i just think it would be good to see a little more pushback and discussion about empathy. even acknowledging it on-air would be another good step considering the fraction that might see it on twitter versus hear/watch it

An apology is only an apology if the person genuinely realises what they did wrong and isn't going to do it again. It's not a set of magic words you screenshot in your notes app that stops people being mean on twitter.

You can hardly say someone ‘deserves to die’ even if the enlisted because they believed patriotic nonsense (rather than being conscripted or enlisting because your a poor kid without a fit education and there aren’t many steady career options), how many people can actually claim to have a solid grip on life before, say, their mid twenties?

if an apology isn't accompanied by genuine remorse then it's meaningless and from what I've seen of Jeremy Vine over the years I'm pretty sure genuine remorse is one of several emotions he's completely incapable of
