I assume rafael behr cannot conceive that productivity gains could not translate to better quality of life, therefore it must be that everyone is spending all of the time on twitter and not doing any work.

i guess its probably something pretty low key tedious that doesnt really need an apology. like someone made a little grammys montage video and put in the assets folder or however it works with a beyonce thumbnail but labelled it badly and someone else halfarsed it by whacking it in their beyonce grammys story cos honestly who gives a gently caress but then twitter or whatever.

Did anyone mention over the last 4 or so pages that the sole reason for Shitcoin is to control what you can and cannot spend on? That's literally it's sole purpose so they can have even more control over you and your money whilst eroding even more of your freedoms to do with that money what you will. It's also going to be hilarious when your money is suddenly inaccessible for the rest of your life for some minor discretion like calling Rishi a loving midget oval office. There's a reason that banks are shoring up all the physical, tangible gold they can right now.

There's a reason that banks are shoring up all the physical, tangible gold they can right now. I have the same  about the push to not use cash. Given the banks can just close an account without giving any reason as has happened to rather a lot of people but doesn't get much press, all your dosh is just gone, wiped out.And all the Ruskies or other 'bad actors' would have to do is crash the interwebs to destroy the country - everything from making it impossible to buy stuff because the banking systems have failed, there's no ATMs anymore, the 'just in time' supermarket ordering systems cease to function... ok I'm off to buy more beans tomorrow I just scared myself. (NB I have some experience of not being able to buy anything because of no money in any ATMs within a 30km radius and no internet not that many shops took cards back then - during the revolution in 2011). They'll be taking lessons from the Chinese on the 'social credit' system. Or printing a barcode on your forehead before you're allowed to buy stuff - See Sprouts of Wrath by Robert Rankin (or whichever one of the 10+ book Brentford Triangle trilogy it was)

Di Caprio maybe Oh I’m sure I’ve seen her, just absolutely nowhere near often enough or in any kind of context interesting enough to me to make her exact likeness stick in my memory. FWIW it’s not one of those weird goon brags on how much more interesting the things I do know about must be for me to have next to no knowledge of a pop culture juggernaut, it just seems like people forget that for like 10-15 years now we’ve had access to enough services and volumes of information that you can go your whole life without ever having to interact with things from outside your little areas of interest if you don’t want to. It’s pretty tough to penetrate the bubble in 2023.

How do you stop inflation? Stop people buying poo poo and make them jobless. They can only do the latter thus far.

Dabir posted:Yeah I don't know how this even happens unless BBC writers have to source their images from a big filling cabinet where they're both under "Artists, N" My guess would be that the original draft of the article had a picture of Viola Davis and reference that she was up to win an EGOT this year, then some editor decides the picture for the story should be Beyoncé cause she’s more famous, the caption is updated for the picture to reference Beyoncé, expecting the picture to be replaced with a photo of her, and then that never happens cause everyone after that point sees a reference to Beyoncé and a picture of a black woman and doesn’t engage their brain for two seconds to realise the picture and caption don’t match.

Is Cleese still having to pay his divorce off? It's the only reason I can think of that he hasn't just faded into 83 yr old rely on Boomers loving Fawlty Towers bullshit. I mean either die or gently caress off, you haven't been relevant for the best part of 50 years you horrible racist scrub. I also hate Fawlty Towers & Clockwise was a turning point for me back in the day, that not every film my parents rented on VHS was something worth seeing.

That's almost certainly the cause, but the problem is it's extremely bad optics when the government and media apparatus are trying to run a culture war. A polite apology and making sure your media copy editor knows what the most popular entertainers in the world look like are probably good ideas.

I think you're suffering from self-selection bias here, especially with musicians where people often recognise them by sound but not by sight. On the other hand, I still wouldn't have made the BBC's cockup because I would have recognised Viola Davis.

That's on you then, Beyonce has been the queen of pop music for like 20 years. She played the superbowl. She wins multiple awards basically every year and her songs are played in most mainstream radio stations and bars/parties.

Individuals might not recognise her but the BBC is a news organisation and reporting on a major entertainment event I'd expect them to use a reporter with a clue and check it carefully especially given the 'mix ups' that have happened in the last couple of years. The BBC itself did an article on mixups esp with people of colour. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210519-why-people-of-colour-are-misidentified-so-often

Given how every year British media (and inevitably the BBC) will label Irish actors/sports stars/musicians as "British", I wouldn't give the BBC the benefit of any doubt. It all comes from the same level of ignorance.
