OK so you’re just here to strawman and insult. Thanks for outing yourself.

I don’t see it. And who gives a shit what the logo is? Is this all journalism has to offer?Bacon sandwich-gate tier piss taking…

Just an example, take caring for my kids or decorating my house or even working out if you don’t like that one. What do you mean by “the other direction”?

AV was a different kettle of fish. Garbage turnout and masses of undecideds in polling. I don’t think anyone ever thought it was nailed on even if technically AV was ahead in some polls. Point stands though.

It is tricky to make something both snappy and accurate. I think anti-JOB might have worked better, but it sounds like a sex strike, so don’t put me in charge of marketing.

When I dig my garden I am doing work. That obviously entails no wage labour let alone labour exploitation. Why is it hard to belive people might be against wage labour in its present form but not against fulfilling, self directed labour?

Black lives matter is the least hyperbolic statement of that movement imaginable. That there was pushback even on that framing speaks more to the vile ess of its opponents than to a failure of marketing.

You might want to put it on your list but it’s the opposite problem to your other examples if anything.

Seriously

He’s using those words to defend not giving benefits to the parents of a third child though. It’s just double speak: “it’s not about handouts is about a social safety net”. By playing into the framing of social safety nets as handouts he just defends the status quo. Definitely no evidence he really gets it.

Inspiring. Inquisitors and rogue traders are the best bits of the setting.

Why reference a fable at all if you’re going to totally ignore it’s message?

The tories have been the same arrogant, entitled breed the whole time. Labour have still lost to them repeatedly so it seems weird to chalk it up to luck this time.

Interesting point from lanterne rouge about how lidl trek might like this result actually: they were left to it and couldn’t pull back the break so they’ll be more legitimately able to ask for help on future sprint stages. Actually probably a better outcome for them than losing a sprint, though obviously not as good as winning. Is Milan really better than Merlier though? I’m not sure.

Best I’ve seen so far is the independent and, while they add some sensible context, even they are quoting sunak as if he’s speaking in good faith.

It pisses me off that this getting coverage when it contains no actual new information and is so obviously a conservative communications strategy.

Rishi is not accepting the rejection of his ideas at all. He’s conjuring the spectre of hung parliament as a rallying cry to disaffected tory voters. Maria Caulfield quote about the differences between local and govt elections really hammers this home and every media outfit is blithely repeating it all like they’re tory sock puppets.

In context, “overtones” is a pretty decent autocorrect for Overton here.

Yeah way too literal to be emtertaining. I guess if your reaction to the mayoral campaign is disaffected “both sides” BS (though no well informed person holds that view) then it would work shrugs. I’m sure as shit not reading the article because if their headline writing is that lazy I doubt there’s anything of value beyond it.

Started training properly this week after injury supposedly. Fair chance he does the TDF, unlikely he’ll be his full self rest of season but maybe he’ll be competitive in the Olympics?

Jonas had a collapsed lung and broken ribs a couple of weeks ago, and was anyway planning to peak for the TDF. It’s very challenging to hold grand tour winning form for more than one race a year, peak GC means unsustainably low body fat % and coming down from altitude at the right time.

There would typically be a few more top guys at the giro. Remco IMO should have done it instead of tour this year. Wout van aert would have been an intriguing GC prospect in this race which was mooted at one point. Sometimes it’s nice to watch the 2nd rank guys fight it out, but with pog coming it for sure takes some of the fun out of it.

For real. The only interesting thing really is how many jerseys/stages he can win. I guess there’s a non-zero. (like 0.001%) change he gets over exuberant and does a Simon Yates in the third week.

My mistake. Took the result as official too soon. Yeah they can’t complain too much about that one.
