I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

No one tells you what to write huh Peter. Weirdly youre all just focused on a Sun article from 2013 to the extent you missed all that Mandleson coverage from the last four decades
Okay. So like. Who literally cares
It's funny that we on the left are supposed to be the ones with the purity tests and the absurd standards nobody can meet, and yet it seems that time and time again, we're remarkably tolerant of daft stuff that doesn't matter but which centrists simply cannot get over. What could explain this?
this guy killed hundreds of children, and as such, should lose his job π
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.
"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."
this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good
between "spider-man and spongebob are the only US heroes" and "get ready for $200 a barrel" i am drawing the conclusion iran at least rhetorically really has us figured out
Once again, the culture warriors deeply misunderstand the deep underlying psyche of the British people. The British people were offered nice animals and they overwhelmingly favoured nice animals.
Daily mail article saying the Harry Potter series will be the steaming event of the decade
Lovely typo in a Harry Potter TV show article.
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegsethβs attempt to strangle journalism
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
There are people out there who think it's ridiculous to say that killing 100,000 Palestinians and expelling 100,000s more from their land is a genocide, but that describing people coming to your country to work and start a family as genocide is totally reasonable.

Anyways the best thing he did as a politician was to listen to his constituents as Mayor of Newark even if they had really funny names
Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.
I donβt think Trump and his people are capable of engineering βdistractions,β I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

when i was a firefighter, cops did literally nothing useful at accidents. they blocked our apparatus, they argued with us, the didn't do first aid right.
