Whilst acclaimed Sinners stars Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award in the early minutes of the ceremony, a member of the audience with Tourette syndrome shouted a racial slur, which seemed to be heard by the actors on stage as well as clearly on the broadcast.

The ceremony's host, Alan Cumming, had told the audience earlier on that a campaigner for people with Tourette syndrome - a neurological disorder characterised by sudden, involuntary movements or sounds - was in attendence.

The cut portion of the speech included: "to all those whose parents migrated to obtain a better life for their children, to the economic migrant, the conflict migrant, those under occupation, dictatorship, persecution and those experiencing genocide, you matter, your stories matter more than ever.

"Your dreams are an act of resistance. To those watching at home, archive your loved ones, archive your stories, yesterday, today and forever. For Nigeria, for London, the Congo, Sudan, free Palestine."

I can't see the article at home, but when I access the BBC at work, they have an apology for airing the slur. I didn't read it. I assumed one got past their censor, figured "it happened, their people didn't say it, honest mistake."

Either they retracted the apology, or they show me different stories depending on where I access from. There being more to it lends credence to the former. (It's also been like 18 hours since I saw the story on their homepage, but still, if it were a genuine apology, it would stick around for more than 1 day.)

We like to dump on the US's platform of Israeli support, but the UK has been dumping on Palestine for a while. I'm not saying either is better (or worse), it's ugly on both sides of the pond.

The tried and true defence of Israel is always to claim antisemitism, but we must stand equal to Jews, Christians, Muslims, Atheists, and all the others alike, but also have the courage to speak out against genocide and other war crimes, regardless of who is doing them.

I thought the main story was that Jamie Foxx outed himself as a dumb cunt

Guys they only had 2 hours and were editing in a truck so couldn't hear it presumably through some DT770 headphones

Yeah, it didn't show up when I went back to work, so I figured it probably just fell off the front page. I didn't know where to go to look at their older articles. But yes, that is the headline I saw.

That excuse works really well for the censoring of "Free Palestine."

Thankfully professional editors can hear that our children were at risk for a hot minute

Whole story is a "no win".

More like sony mdr-7506s. I’ve done a bit of professional live editing before and this seems like a cope. Fuck the editors/producers that decided to cut out free Palestine

He did that decades ago.
