Watching Cats (2019) for the first time. Cannot believe it’s taken me this long.
It was Skimbleshanks that finally won me over.

It’s good. It is a good film.
Could have been made specifically for me. I don’t love Cats enough to be upset by anything in it. And I love a risky high concept where the movie *really* commits to it.
Where *everyone* really commits to it.

This article is littered with easily disprovable falsehoods, from the headline down.

Let’s start with the headline: The article wasn’t banned. A paid ad promoting the article was delisted.
Next is @DanielJHannan’s false claim that the JLI’s ad was pulled “without explanation.”

A swift visit to Facebook Ad Library reveals it was pulled because FB requires political content to carry a disclaimer declaring who paid for it.

For context, Christopher Chope is somewhat notorious for making very long speeches on a Friday, which push later items off the order paper.
Over the years he’s 'talked out’, or blocked by shouting ‘object’ bills that would:

• Pardon Alan Turing
• Make ‘upskirting’ a criminal offence
• Ban animals in circuses
• Exempt hospital workers from car parking fees
• Toughen laws on FGM
Sir Christopher says he objects to Private Members’ bills passing second reading ‘on the nod’ - without debate or vote - on Fridays, when there’s a hard 2.30pm cut off.

He basically objects to the concept of Fridays.

Also, Chris Whitty keeps his phone in a belt hoster. ImageImage
I mean, it’s either his phone or the secret button that transmits the order to impose martial law.
I hear he insists Jenny Harries refer to herself as “Assistant TO the Chief Medical Officer"

Home Office are confirming the anti-migrant video has been deleted and ‘should not have been used on an official government channel’, but are currently refusing to explain why.
Worth noting the background information sent to journalists by civil service press officers yesterday also included the phrase “activist lawyers”.
There’s a line between what departmental officials can say and what politicians can say. I think it’s important to establish where that line is.

I made a living as a provincial indie DJ for 8 years or so during the ‘landfill’ era. Ask me anything.

I got sent amost everything on this list. In all but a half dozen or so cases, my reaction was: “It’s alright.”

There’s a reason almost nothing from the 00s ever made it out of the 9-10.30 graveyard.
Most promo companies asked you to send back feedback forms on the singles they sent out, scoring dancefloor reaction to them out of five.

Let me tell you, the 3 key on my keyboard got a lot of wear and tear in those years.

We weren’t invited to Matt Hancock’s speech today.

If we were, I would have asked why someone who presided over a huge data breach at TalkTalk, and who led a Test and Trace system so unsuccessful it’s been handed off to councils, is qualified to fix England’s public health.
I would have also asked who else was considered for the job, and what the selection criteria were.
But as I say, the press weren’t invited.
