The #BBC doing their best to lionise Jeffrey Archer, but Michael Crick absolutely takes him down, rightly labelling him as “a pretty serious crook, and a fraud, and you could never believe a word he said.” Great fun. The newsreader took umbrage 😄

When I think 'reply guy' I think someone who is commenting in an overbearing or awkwardly solicitous way.

When I create things I love replies on them, the feedback is inspirational. I wouldn't ever call someone who takes the time and effort to reply to my stuff a 'reply guy' .

I know it reminds you of 2019, but yersinia pestis is not a novel virus. It’s a known bacteria. And it’s not being reintroduced. It’s endemic in many regions, including North America. There are around 1000-2000 cases every year, none of which start pandemics. It’s treatable with antibiotics.

As we settle into the hot take era of the Jacob Geller cancelling, just remember this: it's not the fans that need to process this complicated idiosyncrasy of needing to make sense of realizing someone you liked is a shit bag. They're also the injured party here from the betrayal of trust.
