What the fuck is this from the Radiohead review:

“While Hail to the Thief skewered the Bush-Blair era, it’s possible A Moon Shaped Pool will provide the accidental soundtrack to the time of Trump.”

Like… erm… I’m lost.

Did you see the thing about him on the telly at the weekend, with the clip showing the Late Review Dream Team of Mark Lawson, Alison Pearson, Tom Paulin and Tony Parsons? All absolutely laying into him, except Parsons, who I bet has every one of the books. Probably all the maps and shit too.

There are 6 albums in there that were in the top 10 before they were released (regardless of how good they are) - Beyonce, Frank Ocean, Radiohead, Anohni, Rihanna, Kanye - The ‘reviews’ are just attempted justifications innit

I have to point out that Slater does precisely zero for the Guardian. His weekly recipes for salads with a piece of cheese on appear exclusively in the Observer.

Jonathan Jones thought Pratchett was shit having not even read a Discworld book, which was the real kicker.

Prat, shit

In the time I was away, DiS seems to have gone a bit alt-right.

Christ can’t you just fuck off

I dunno - but the OP said the Guardian HATES TP

I think. Can’t be fucked to scroll up.

secondhand cigarette smoke is as bad as the siege of aleppo.

dunno about that article but generally abi wilkinson comes across really well. one of the least unbearable twitter politics people

I’ve never read a lifestyle piece in a newspaper or newspaper magazine and taken anything from it at all. It’s basically tabloidy shite, always. Who’s reading them? Any time i read the Guardian (when i find or steal one) i find myself sticking to a set routine of - sports news, US politics, cut a couple of recipes out, put the Guide in the shitter, fling the rest in the bin. It’s absolute piss.
