I am so utterly sick of this idea that if clever people recommend something - a mask, a safety inspection, staying out of a dangerous storm - it’s a challenge to your freedom rather than someone trying to do you a favour and keep you alive.

The BBC has now run a day-long anti vaccination campaign. Possibly the most-viewed coordinated anti vaccination campaign in the world so far.
It centred around Novak Djokovic.
Here is a short thread on how it worked.

This got kinda lost amid the Oscar Talk this morning but Trumbull was a goddamn living legend whose work made an absolutely staggering impact on a young me. RIP. nitter.gq/Variety/status/1491095…

I started saying ‘people of the audience’ because I heard some people don’t want to be addressed as ladies or gentlemen and it’s a 5-second mental adjustment and nobody in the room feels unwelcome. I reckon live comedy will survive a decade.

Downing St really cancelled Eid, said “the BAME community” were not taking the rules seriously enough and then had multiple illegal parties

This is exactly it. This is why we can't get a fucking Batman movie that I can show my kid. What if instead of insisting everything you liked as a child continue to age with you, you just learned to watch real movies for adults.

When watching darts on TV the sound as the dart hits the board is made with a contact mic mounted behind the board which triggers a sample of a kick drum. You may not have had your head that close to a dart board before, but a small point going into felt doesn’t go “thud” 🎯🎤🥁
