It's a shame Captain Tom is on his diseased family world tour and couldn't appreciate the display.Jose posted:everyone who works at the spectator gets slowly lowered into the giant blender I saw this posted on Twitter with the observation that the goal of the right now seems to be joining the ranks of 'cancelled' people, even if they've done nothing of note and no one knows who they are. It's basically the new 'deplorable' I guess.

I'm well and truly done with the word 'dither' as a political insult. I can't read it without seeing Johnson's smug face during the 2019 debates.

Mebh posted:I did enjoy catching up on taskmaster last year when I came back, some of that was quite funny. I haven't watched this year though. Taskmaster is helped by the fact that it's mostly just silliness for silliness' sake. Most panel shows are rooted in current affairs and politics in some way and the rot of the center-right always shines through. That's a side effect of most of them being Oxbridge graduates I guess.

I think I got as far as episode 6 before I drifted away. I feel like I got pretty much everything the show had to say unless something amazing happens at the end.

The long episodes are really bloated and generally a lot less funny. Miami Twice is particularly bad.

Miftan posted:Nah, I've watched basically all of Peep Show at my partner's request for example and the cringe bits never get any better. It's just.. It feels like punching down at people with bad social skills most of the time, and the rest of the time I just don't find it funny. I don't think it's punching down - it's punching inwards. As someone with bad social skills, David Mitchell and Jesse Armstrong clearly have intimate knowledge of what that's like.

Hell I don't think the first film is that bad. It has a lot of the same themes, it just leans a bit too much on the OTT gross stuff. The second one is dire though.

Lungboy posted:The vaccines are the way out. They should have done this lockdown as soon as AZ was certified, allow the vaccine infrastructure to be sorted and then got the majority of at risk people jabbed very quickly. Hopefully this "lockdown" will help enough to give the vaccine teams a chance to get on top of it. The one positive at the moment is that they're at least saying they're going to keep the lockdown in place until the most vulnerable were vaccinated. We should never have left the November lockdown though, what a loving idiotic decision. Of course I fully expect the lockdown to be lifted on 1st March even if the vaccinations don't go the way they want.

Tarnop posted:They brought in Agile consultants at the last place I worked. The end result was a 15 minute stand-up meeting every morning that everyone hated, 15 minutes less time to do the same amount of work every day, and another spreadsheet to fill in. Lmao I think every office is falling for this scam. We spent millions on a consultancy firm who was with us for a year and the end result was a 15 minute meeting each morning, which everyone abandoned as soon as the consultants had left. We at least got a nice whiteboard to meet next to rather than filling in a spreadsheet though.

Oh he's saying they're going to 'look at' wasted uni accommodation costs. Which they didn't do anything about during the last two lockdowns. I'm sure that'll go really far.

They need to just bite the bullet and adopt the NZ model where no one gets in and those that have to get in are forced to isolate (rather than just asked to). They won't do it but until they do we'll just continually import and export new varients until we're all dead.

I think it's just a bit rich that after a decade of 'we can't tax foreign businesses because they'll pick up and leave' suddenly when we desperately need foreign trade we're imposing a tax that will cripple smaller overseas businesses (or stop them from trading with us entirely) but be negligible to the giant bastards.

Bobstar posted:Yeah this goes back to the free speech chat from a previous thread, where some people (esp Americans) start from I agree but there's a part of my brain that can't help but make slippery slope arguments. What happens when Johnson and chums decide that "socialism can work" is a dangerous lie and act accordingly? I guess I just struggle to trust this particular government with anything more nuanced than an eggcup.
