"The old tin rinser" has finished me off 😂.

None of them can just tell one good lie for the plot then leave it be. It always has to be them being a homeless, autistic, sex worker, victim of abuse of all varieties on multiple occasions, sufferer of several heart attacks, tumours, strokes, multiple chronic illnesses, broken bones, neurological disorders, robbed of opportunities despite being uniquely and exceptionally gifted, subject to relentless and unparalleled abuse and/or applause, victims of implausible and unverifiable gunmen and threats and kidnapping and murder plots and able to elevenerife the most extraordinary claims with a ready list of personal qualities or protected characteristics that elevate them above criticism.

At this point it doesn't bother me so much that demented, pathological, narcissistic cluster-B, nest-feathering crackpots exist, it's how keen every dumb fucker on earth is to believe and celebrate them. Willfully fucking stupid.
Jason Arday and Katie Price - cut from thr same cloth!

Another good tune, the memory of which has been sullied by Professor von Munchausen.

The parallels to arch-bullshitters Jessica Taylor and Jack Monroe are astonishing. All three of them live in a world populated solely by NPCs thanking them on the regular for all the good that they do.
What are NPCs?

There is so much rot


“British universities are funded on assessed output. Careers are built on volume, and institutional income depends on it. Under that pressure the incentive to publish more than you can properly do is universal, which is why plagiarism is the largest single category of allegation in the sector's own data. Meanwhile a senior academic with grants, rankings value and a public protile is an asset on the books. Arday was a named collaborator on more than $10m of UKRI and NIHR funding. Investigating an asset is a write-down, and no external body exists to force it, so the rational institutional move is not to look. That is why the variable predicting who survives a misconduct finding is seniority and market value, and why Arday is being defended.
Class, funding competition and output targets. Unglamorous, and it explains Arday, O'Reilly, Latchman and Manchester with one mechanism.”

Let's just get Ronnie Biggs to run the Bank of England whilst we're at it 🙄
They do say that former poachers make the best game keepers!¹ Although they are supposed to be rehabilitated first 😅

¹I actually knew a guy who literally did do both at different ends of his life 🤣

My memory is shot to pieces (thanks C-PTSD!) so I would fall apart trying to keep remembering any lies. Maybe that's his issue too? He has had an awful time, all things considered 😉

The vibes of him put me, and obviously others, in mind of the old tin rinser hence I'm here. I know there's another one around (some failed fanfic writer, I believe) but their rantings are far too much for me and my prescription drugged mind without causing conniptions and rage.
Any clues, please? I love a fibbing grifter deep-dive

Shola on another useful rant 🙄
Arday wasn't sacked for plagiarism (or sacked at all), and we have no way of knowing if he would have been, had that been his only "offence".

With a different government maybe, but currently we have a police force sacking female officers for saying that not all men are good people.
That's a pretty significant misrepresentation of what she said.
