For those who don’t know, Elon Musk has recently been directing his assholery towards Wikipedia — calling them ‘Wokepedia’ due to the amount they spend on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and calling for people to stop giving them money “until they restore balance to their editing authority” —, now is a great time to consider donating to Wikipedia!

A lot of you underestimate how prevalent British bias is not only in F1 but across sports generally, and even in other industries.

Max saying he has the wrong passport in the paddock is an accurate statement. Do you think he, Seb, or Michael would've been half as vilified by the British media if they had a British passport instead? Would Fernando? Do you think Yuki would get half as much shit about his radio "conduct" if he was British? Because it's the British commentators who consistently have issues with it, and say shit like it's "unbecoming" for a driver to speak that way, ignoring that 1 it's not his first language and 2 IT WAS ENGLISH PEOPLE HE LEARNT THAT LANGUAGE FROM. Sometimes people misspeak, but Yuki has always taken accountability and apologised if he has and if he caused harm. Martin Brundle did not get nearly as much backlash from the media when he misspoke and called an Asian driver a slur while commentating. He also never apologised for it.

Alex, one of the four Brits on the grid but who drives under the Thai flag, has said that the commentators only call him British born when he does well. He was completely excluded from the Silverstone publicity about the home crowd heroes, whereas George, Lewis & Lando were heralded, not only on race weekend, but for weeks leading up to it.

Alex's statement also reminded me of this Richard Harris quote, "When I'm in trouble, I'm an Irishman. When I turn in a good performance, I'm an Englishman." Genuinely, if I took a shot every time a British organisation/person claimed a talented Irish person was actually a Brit, I'd have died from alcohol poisoning years ago.

Hell, I see George wearing the poppy pin this weekend in the lead up to remembrance Sunday. Do you know the amount of shit James McClean gets every year because he refuses to wear one? And he has very valid reasons for choosing not to wear it, yet he's torn to shreds every year by not only random people on the Internet or on the streets but by commentators and the media too.

Because of how this sport became mainstream and because no one challenged Bernie Eccleston's monopoly on broadcasting rights back in the day (people were given the opportunity to buy a share of the broadcasting rights; the idiots said no), this sport has prioritised the British voice/perspective for decades. I know the other broadcasts are just as biased for their home team/drivers, but the British one is the biggest one, as it's the main broadcast for better and more often for the worst. It's the broadcast with the most reach and influence. Their bias has to be challenged eventually if this sport ever hopes to properly expand and grow. The British bias is so difficult to miss once you start noticing it.

ill-advised double date at burger hovel

roger: happily chatting about who-knows what gingi: Devouring. peter: feeling mildly nauseated at the sight. wishes he wasn't doing this. randy: paralyzed by awkwardness, is merely resting her hands on her burger without the courage to begin actually eating it due to the Scene unfolding before them. his burger's getting sweaty

what gets me abt the whole talia manipulated jason against bruce trope is that

in issue 1 itself we get:-

talia telling jason that bruce misses him

(ignore ra's. he gets cranky)

and her telling jason that he was grieved

what's NOT CLICKING?

and lets tackle why she even kept jason from bruce for so many years.

a/ she had reliable info that bruces behaviour had turned erratic & he wouldnt be the caretaker jason needed then

b/ time & again she fought tooth & nail with ra's to keep jason & let him get better. & when she saw he would let jason be the way he was for the rest of his life she couldn't bear it. so she took him to the pits

and most of all

c/ love.

it could have started off as something selfish but talia's character is most defined by her compassion & ruthlessness. she cares too much to let things slide & will use whatever means necessary to achieve what/who she wants to protect/help

plus she's always vehemently, stubbornly believed in jason. she straight up threatened the doctor who dared suggest jason was not improving. she defied her father for him. she clearly said he was & i QUOTE a miracle. she says that he's & i quote MEANT for something. from the very start it was obvious. talia has a lot of love to give & jason needed a lot of love then. is it so selfish when they both needed each other?

not to mention jason kind of imprinting on her to the point where she's the only person he didn't consider a threat....... god. pls save me. im going to go crazy abt them. they're the only ones who believed in each other since the very start.
