This is a normal post I think Jazz is too broad a genre to dismiss in its entirety.
It's like saying all Pop music is shit. Some of it is utter bollocks, but there's plenty of great Pop music out there, too.
I'm not a fan of the Miles Davis stuff, and the Loungey freestyle interpetative Jazz can get fucked. There are some rare exceptions which I can really get behind, but mostly it's for the same kind of cunts that find the Turner Prize nominations intellectually stimulating. In my opinion

But then there are musicians like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, hell, you could even argue that Joni Mitchell could be categorised as Jazz, and I bloody love all of them.

This is a link post Britain's Forgotten Slave Owners from historian David Olusoga
I've binged out on BBC Iplayer the past couple of nights and just finished watching 'A House Through Time' series by David Olusoga (a must watch as well)! But if you are unaware of this? It's a real eye opener on how Britain was built on the back of the slave trade. It show's how these slave owners came out of the wood work to claim their compensation for their human property. Unbelievably, the last beneficiary for abolition of slavery in the 1830's was paid in 2015. I post it here because if you haven't seen it? You should!

This is a normal post The Guardian must fall.
Back in the 1860s, The Manchester Guardian, as it was then, gave unqualified support to the confederacy during the American civil war; even reprinting confederate propaganda against the slaves’ liberator Abraham Lincoln.

“it was an evil day both for America and the world when he was chosen President of the United States”

– Manchester Guardian, 10th October 1862

Upon the news of President Lincoln’s assassination, the Guardian described the president’s time in office as “abhorrent”, specifically the Proclamation of Emancipation – the act that declared “all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”

Perhaps the opposition to emancipation of slaves was driven by the views of their founder, John Edward Taylor, who made his money in the cotton trade – an industry that prospered on the backs of cotton-picking slaves. After the death of their founder in 1844, the paper continued its relationship with its cotton merchant advertisers, going as far as demanding Manchester’s cotton workers, who refused to touch cotton picked by US slaves, should be forced back into work.

This is a normal post The sole source? Apart from the contemporaneous quotes from The Guardian itself you mean?
Yes, I copied and pasted, well spotted. Why didn't I give any attribution or just post a link? Because a lot of people on here would simply say "it's a Guido story, therefore it's a lie, thus no need to stop wallowing in sanctimony."
But it's not a lie, it's just quoting the paper back at itself. Given that multiple writers in The Guardian demand apologies and even reparations from others for such historical associations, for example they simply adore trotting out quotes from Daily Mail editorials from the mid 1930s sympathetic to Hitler, shouldn't they hold themselves up to the same standards?

This is a normal post True. But even if Fallout had anything in the way of lore to base a television series on
(Besides China getting pissy with the USA and kicking off a thermonuclear holocaust), a fantasy series based on a somewhat loose representation of an alternate medieval reality is going to be significantly more budget/production friendly than a sci-fi series set in a retro-futurist post apocalyptic wasteland.

I'd have been far more optimistic about a prequel. A story written by Obsidian Entertainment based on the years/months leading up to the conflict.
One of the things that made the first couple of seasons of Game of Thrones (for example) so fucking brilliant was all the politics and world building. The vast majority of Fallout fans will have played through the post-apocalyptic Fallout landscape in 7 different guises, already. I'm surely not the only one that would have preferred a television series covering the moments leading up to those events.

Maybe that's what we're getting. But I bloody doubt it.
