Oh hi. Let’s look at this bullshit article on the BBC website, shall we?
First of all it’s on the BBC so you’re like oh wow it must be a big deal.

This is another tweet cited in the article. Eight digits in the handle, fewer followers than I have toes. Gets to represent a "side" in a "controversy".
Have we learned nothing from the past few years? Is this really the best we can do?

And the person who wrote this piece knows the tweet is bullshit, from a bullshit source, because they sure as hell didn’t put the mandatory book reading up on the BBC, they know how stupid that would be.

We could go on of course. When Piers Morgan dusts off his laptop to plug the week's trending topics into his trusted word document DailyMailPCCultureRantTemplate.docx for his weekly Daily Mail diatribe, the DM uses two tweets to illustrate the article.
13 followers. 4 followers.

A dude is presenting demands to end the boycott. The demands are the apology video and also that all male employees have to read some mra bullshit, like it’s mao’s little red pill.
So you click on the dude’s profile, wondering who he is and why he can make demands.

Note I have no opinion on the ad, its message, the number of dislikes on youtube or whatever.
Just that we rely on journalists to make things clear, to separate truth from lie. This twitter-searching to prop up predefined notions and narratives just adds to the noise.
OK, fin.

Because an ignored tweet from an account with 18 followers (that has now vanished) should not be a journalist’s core argument on the BBC website, and certainly not be proof of a “major backlash and a wide boycott”.

Aside from being an A+ paragraph, this seems really clear now: Wallace’s fiction was the end of something (the systems novel, the US interest in metafiction) – but endings are often confused for beginnings.

So my focus on follower-count was less “high-follower essentialism” as someone put it so beautifully, but rather an attempt to show that we have no way of knowing if these accounts are real much less in good faith.
And serious news organisations should not rely on this shit.

Instead of “once upon a time”, Kurdish stories begin with “there was a day, there was not a day...” fixing narrative between truth and lie, allowing the listener to believe in a story, to suspend disbelief, while also being reminded of the artifice at the heart of story-telling.

2. Private (and profit-driven) healthcare and education is funded by the government. So the government is actively paying for the dismantling of its own welfare state and making people very rich in the process. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just a few final points before we let the thread die a well-deserved and long-overdue death.
This is one of those websites that push dubious content. This article has been shared thousands of times on Facebook, into the feeds of thousands more.
It links to the BBC “report”.

Every time I remember that Saladin was a kurd I wonder if he only conquered the Levant out of familial obligation.
Like, really, he wanted to be a singer or a poet but his parents were like No, you’ll be doctor, lawyer or conqueror of the levant.

Two things that are absolutely mad about Sweden which I’m still not over four years after moving here
1. The postal service do not deliver things to your home, but instead drop it off at a random shop for you to pick up and then pretend they tried to deliver but you weren’t home

Ibland får jag frågan om det går att rösta på nåt annat riksdagsparti än det man röstat på hela sitt liv. Svaret är ja, och antalet av oss som gör det kommer att öka.
Ibland får jag frågan om det går att avvisa marockaner som uppehåller sig illegalt i Sverige. Svaret är ja, och antalet har ökat.
Antalet personer som polisen verkställt avvisning till Marocko:

In French, the overnight bag or weekender is called a baise-en-ville, a “fuck in the city”.
The name stems from the 30s when French men would stay in the city overnight to sleep with mistresses or women they’d met on a night out.
