Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[Pickman's model]

That's a step down from when my kids learned to cook at school.

from when? surely from what.

"So we've got this great article that reports how the Scottish Government has declined to bring in a law making misogynistic harrassment illegal. Whats the best picture we can select to illustrate what this story is about?"

Scotland declines to introduce misogynistic harassment law

A rather tortured metaphor: Brexit is like Shrek.

did you read the article? not sure why it warrants a facepalm, unless you're a Mail reader type who scoffs at 'snowflakes'

 

[frogwoman]

I thought the article was a bit silly but no more so than other articles about weddings tbh.

aye, i thought it was interesting to hear from that perspective (but also a bit confused as to why people still want to get married after all this progress)

I found the self absorrbtion of it totally laughable. Its a straight woman getting married in a white dress ffs, just not a frilly one. How radical and interesting.

you didn't read it then, or you are deliberately misgendering someone.

Eh? Don't want to get into this just found it a ridiculous self important article by someone who basically just wanted to wear a dress like grace kelley's.

it was more about how they felt about this as someone who identifies as non-binary. I find it interesting to hear even such 'minor' things as what to wear from such a perspective, and that it would do us all good to listen to such voices.

strange how often you say something and then declare you don't want to discuss it.

This however is definitely nonsense.

I dunno what GitHub is. Sounds like another name for Wetherspoons tbh.

'Mixture of Rousseau with Ayn Rand' ffs

It's not that at all. The author clearly states she is trans at one point. It's self absorbed, but as frogwoman says no more so than other bridal articles. But she is categorically not a 'straight woman getting married in a white dress'.

It's a software platform iirc. But the guardian article is pretentious wank.

As a feminist I'm in two minds about the label 'terrorist' to actions of suffragettes, especially given how the label is quickly applied in modern times.

Well you’ll never get a job writing Guardian editorials with that sort of attitude. You have to come up with at least one nonsensical hot take and then waffle irrelevantly until you’ve hit the word count.

Anyone familiar with my postings on this site will know I'm more than capable of doing that.

From the sports section, supposedly showing Billy Vunipola's positive effect on the England rugby team when he plays. I wholeheartedly agree he is a key player when fit. However, the table below, if anything, shows that England have a better winning record without him in the time analysed (note that time is too short to form any such conclusion, one way or the other).

Is that the guardian or the daily mash?

Not exactly a 'crisis' is it
