Lord, give me this. x.com/lauriewhitwell/status/…
The world may be shit, but if it will give me 6 months more of Ole managing United, I might believe anything can get better if we just trust the vibes.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are doing a a podcast called Pondcast where they reminisce about Doctor Who. No word on when it will become available but they’ve already recorded a few and have had Steven Moffat as a guest.

Honestly, the level of comprehension across all subject matters when it comes to reviews is wild. Someone once claimed that a label had a ‘review contract’ because something got a high mark. Can’t even get most labels to take a 1/4 page! And that’s a whole other issue.

The undertones of Sarah Smith's reporting on the happenings in Washington today on the @BBCNews 10 o'clock bulletin is an absolute disgrace in and of itself.

At this point I'd support DPD's customer services being listed as a hate group. Though I suppose a hate group has to actually exist.

All I'd say about the Sound of list is that it floored me how almost all the 'PR email campaigning' acts I'd consider 'established' made it on, and how few that didn't did, and that that makes the panel look daft if you're party to seeing that. And I say that as someone on it.

(I absolutely love a lot of the acts on that list, but I couldn't with good faith vote for them in this context, even with the changed criteria)

Campaigning is *always* a thing for these gongs - understandably. And i don't blame acts or PRs for doing it - they absolutely should! But how almost all the acts you'd go 'are they ACTUALLY eligible?!' who emailed made it, and then almost none that didn't? Quite depressing.
