I’ve been doing a rewatch of the seminal 2001 British reality show Popstars and it really was the most unhinged reality show ever seen on British television.

@LouisStaples Ask any women you know - I bet some of them do. A lot of my friends and I use Find my Friends to check that we got home after being out anywhere. Have done ever since Sarah Everard’s murder. Most women don’t feel safe being out really anywhere anymore sadly.
When you say “my parents worked hard to give me a good education” you’re saying two things.
• State education, which I am in charge of, is bad and should be avoided at all costs.
• If you’re a parent who can’t afford to do that, you aren’t working hard enough for your kids.
I’m ready to speak my truth: I hate the awful Go Ape outdoor activity sections on #TheTraitors. You suddenly go from an intense Agatha Christie whodunnit to a drab team-building exercise on a NatWest away day.
Posting “wow super problematic” under everybody’s Halloween costume and then responding “I will not do the labor of educating you” when they ask for an explanation.
@imbethmccoll In the past when I’ve done Dry Jan/another sober month, people have commented to me ‘I don’t feel the need to take a month of drinking because I don’t drink that much’, and I’m always just thinking well then surely you’d find it easy? 🤔 I don’t see the issue with it
meeting someone with psychedelically bad conversation skills is such a joy because it forces you to reach deep into your soul and articulate something you never knew was there, for instance, "So how long have you had an iphone"
