Wow. That might be the worst fucking take of 2024!
The sun (or as many of my fellow Liverpool fans justifiably calls it, The Scum} is indeed one of the many atrocious British tabloids. Others include The Daily Fail (Mail), The Daily Scar (Star) and The Daily Sport.
As for The Guardian, it's one of many venerable British broadsheets (though the physical paper is now Compact along with The Times (also Compact), The Telegraph (actually still physically broadsheet), and The Independent (broadsheet format, then both broadsheet and compact, now online only)
I get that there could be some confusion regarding the physical paper since a British Compact is basically a broadsheet quality paper in tabloid format.
With regards to CONTENT quality and reliability, though, it's pretty much impossible to know The Guardian well and consider it a tabloid.
Unless you're one of those far right people who thinks that everything to the left of the Republican party is far left to the point of being inherently unserious, but I'm getting more of a "simply unfamiliar" vibe from you, which is why I took the time to clarify it all 😁
Not sure about the "shameful" part, but here's some Beggin'
this is a performance where the humans get paid and get to go home afterward, and not like a slave trade situation, right?
I mean, the song was first published in circa 1780 so..maybe? 🤷
The Guardian? A tabloid??

I don't know what chems you've been huffing, but they seem fun, so please share some 😄
Having never heard or seen the word before, I still say that joining Pembina is a significant upgrade from North Dakota. Even if it DOES sound more like a genital deformity than a state.
"Did you hear that Carol's baby was born with pembina?" "Poor thing! I TOLD her those lead enemas during pregnancy was a bad idea, though!“

Unbeknownst to most people, though, Belgium was ABSOLUTELY one of the worst.
The Behind the Bastards episode on Leopold II was one of their best ever!
I like that they consolidated the Dakotas but not Best Carolina where my partner lives and Worst Carolina where Dylan Roof and Lindsay Graham are from..

Who's going to report the Governor's mansion this time? Who's pasting the entire script of Bee Movie into the comment field?
Sounds like a good idea until you consider the fact that you'd be subjecting a bunch of people already working ridiculous hours at a crappy job for below a living wage to a lot of harassment.
And that's if you DON'T get someone deported. Which is highly unlikely, since the fast food industry is probably the second-largest employer of undocumented immigrants after agriculture..
So maybe DON'T do that.
I wish! They worded it such that the burning of fossil fuels and other things leading to the eradication of humanity through climate change are exempt 😮💨
Breaking their door in alone is going to cost more to fix than a couple of truths spray painted on a building.
That's on TOP of traumatizing them, taking away their future by denying them an education and further complicating their employment prospects by giving them an arrest record.
The jackbooted thugs of fascism are already here, paving the way for the Trump regime and defending the Netanyahu regime from every attempt at accountability 🤬

Charlotte wants Emily's treat


They were like that for 5-10 minutes until Emily finally ate it.

Targeted marketing rule


Pretty bold to market tight cycling apparel to people who are proudly lazy and/or slow. That's a Venn diagram with very little overlap methinks 😄
