Guardian (but mostly Adrian Chiles)

Someone was paid actual literal money to write this…

Talking of which, Arwa Mahdawi has been given permission to write this year’s obligatory “actually I think you’ll find Christmas can be quite fun if you decide not to hate fun” article. What puts the cherry on the cake in the print version though is that they’ve printed exactly the same byline photo of her, only with a Christmas tree behind it.

Presumably she had to take down the straw man to make room for the tree.

I’m going to assume the title ends with “…how much I hate people saying drinking is fun when it isn’t and I don’t drink any more and it’s fine.”

Have a lot of time for the online version changing the headline to “mine’s been up for ages” too, when she’s only had it up for 3 days. Get the feeling the subs might not like the columnists very much…

The subs don’t care about the writer, they only care about whether people click on stuff

I’ve never come across a supermarket wherein 100% of the machines were available. Then again, I haven’t come across a shop in which 100% of the machines were unavailable.

Absolute gold.

I’m sure this is a problem with the study as much as anything, but lumping all these things together seems really unhelpful. Sexting and digital piracy in with harassment and hate speech. Criminal, risky or delinquent behaviour almost normalised! Hand me those pearls Hyacinth i must clutch something

My main takeaway is that somehow less than 50% of 16-19 year olds have watched porn.
