Guardian (but mostly Adrian Chiles)

Yep

this creased me up in jonathan jones’ review of a yoko ono biography…

The book’s finale, in which Ono gets her recognition from the art and music worlds, is a tedious victory tour of quotations from cultural bigwigs.

I understand Sheff’s desire to give Ono her due – I am one of the enthusiasts he quotes.

Fuck’s actual sake

The new case against the 73-year-old producer will probably be an abridged version of the original case – a remake in movie terms

a great stitching up by the picture editor to use a shot of an under 18 protesting for the right to vote just before this:

Sixteen-year-olds have not taken to the streets demanding the right to the franchise…

Lol suck it, Jenkins

Consistently the most wrong man in the UK. I can’t think of a single column I’ve see where the correct answer isn’t the complete opposite of whatever he’s mithering on about.

“No, it’s the kids who are wrong” personified

‘generation’ discourse is just the pits

although Eric Andre being one of the picks gave me a self-esteem boost

I get that these are fairly typical stand-up shots, but they do go very well with hating whoever this bag of dicks is

oh, lol

not even an article, just an advert hidden in plain sight

So yesterday the Observer staff were ‘banged out’ of the Guardian offices. As others have pointed out, the staff profile in these offices is qwhite something

I hate this bullshit column

There’s not a restaurant in the world that charges for a full meal if the number of people is one less than was booked

Maybe if they’ve booked for some private specialist set menu but yeah

wtf is that about? the ‘banged out’ thing?

(also, wow :grimacing: )

traditionally, when newspaper journalists retire or leave their job, they are ‘banged out’ by the rest of the office, as they carry their belongings out. It’s kind of like a guard of honour, but with banging the desk instead.

ahh okay

felt like I was watching some sort of cult behaviour in addition to the, um… demographic of the staff

Write shit, get banged out

Think the stereotype that the spelling and grammar is poor in the Guardian has mostly died now (and the whole “grauniad” thing was incredibly tedious), but at the same time come on lads…

Was this one of those live update things? Feels slightly more forgivable if so.
