Does that include serial killers, muggers, and neo Nazis? I mean, that is the implication of 'everyone'."Davie told staff they must work to reach all parts of the UK with their output and all parts of the audience: 'Overall, my guiding principle is that we are a universal public service – a BBC for all, that serves and represents every part of this country.'"https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/sep/01/bbc-must-serve-all-audiences-says-new-boss-tim-davie

@Demosthenes No, you're talking about a far right strawman. Goose-step your way back to the Birdsite.

One recurring theme I've spotted in video games is how often abusive parents or parent-analogues are excused, or even lionised in them. These are fundamentally bad people - as fundamentally bad as one can imagine - and yet time & again, video game storylines make excuses for them.I only say this as evidence mounts of abusive cultures within video game development as a whole. Rockstar, Ubisoft, Konami, Naughty Dog... Isn't it strange how abusive power structures keep excusing abusive parents?

@fitheach Well, she changed species. Also, she eventually gave up the ciggies.

@fitheach Not in my experience. Consistency of message over time does wonders.

@artilectzed There are, indeed, 'only' 10,905 votes left, but Biden is very likely to get a winning share of it. Here's my source:https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html

@artilectzed Great doomscrollers think alike. But Biden is likely to snatch a victory in Georgia in the next 24 hours, if current trends continue.Pennsylvania will probably follow in, at most, a few days. But nothing's certain until it happens.

The issue is not whether one #Trump has been defeated, but rather, whether 70 million #Trumps will stay defeated.The #trumpmeltdown won't just be emanating from one 'man'. There are more of them than the combined populations of the UK and Ireland.

@InvaderXan I still bear the scars of Being Human Series 3, and the series' descent into liquid shit. I haven't really been able to invest in a TV series since.

@InvaderXan It was the UK version. I spoke to Americans who were in awe of the show after Series 2. Then Series 3 plopped out of my TV and over the living room floor, and I knew it was over.

@InvaderXan They had a winning formula, but then threw it out of the window and were left wondering why no one was watching.

@silverspookgames Meanwhile, CDPR has pulled the excellent Taiwanese horror game, Devotion, from GOG.com, presumably to ensure Cyberpunk 2077 isn't banned on the Chinese mainland.It's less a AAA game now, and more a catalogue of cringe.https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-12-16-cd-projekt-under-fire-for-dramatic-u-turn-on-devotion-gog-release
