Please rank/list the top 5 MSM UK news websites for us Americans... is this an accurate list of popularity?
1. BBC
2. Guardian
3. Telegraph
4. Sun
5. IndependentAlso, what are the top sites similar to Politico, TheHill, etc. that maybe aren't MSM sites but feature political news?
- Disregard The Sun - popular, but it's a fucking comic and one of Murdoch's worst shit factories.face_melter
- Torygraph can be irritating in its dogma, but does have good writing.face_melter

- OMG:
Nickleodeon
DC Comics
CBeebies
Breitbart
Hitler Youth Quarterlyfadein11 - fadein11 returns comic books and finds his copy of Hitler Youth Quarterly found underneath stack, with many of its pages stuck together.omg
- Haha face, I subscribe to both guardian and telegraph online... Somewhere in between the two lies some sort of political 'truth'detritus
- I'd say mail would be top, then BBC, sun, guardian, torygraph, independent. The Indie's turned to utter shit over recent years :(detritus
- Guardian is a shitshow now. Absolutely zero backbone after the blowback from their NSA reporting a while ago.face_melter

damn, that was quick. just finished a bomb-ass tailored cover letter for the first agency on my list, hit send, and ten minutes later i have an interview.
it was a one-paragraph intro about myself, one paragraph of why i think i'd be a good fit, and a call-to-action to meet with me. then down below links to portfolio, resume, and my website, plus rate info and availability so they don't have to ask.
thanks for the tips!

Late Feb is is the new April in New York City/Brooklyn. it's still crisp outside some days but also plenty of chances for just a tshirt. It's 58° right now and I just came back from the best bike ride. Yesterday I swear it was 70 at some point.
I'm not usually in New York in February (usually Nov-Jan) but when I am, it's snowing like crazy, cold and icy still. Is this the canary in the coal mine - beautiful east coast Februaries? This winter felt like nothing and it definitely feels like its over now. I just don't understand the seasonal depression thing (at least this far south). Being from the west coast, I expected more of a beating from a full stay, east coast winter. I had a friend that once said she was suicidal after experiencing a New York City winter so she just had to move to LA. Now I definitely believe she's an overdramatic, lazy, cunt.
- This isn't normal.monospaced
- don't put your big winter jacket away yet..robotron3k
- True. We had a warm fake out last year too followed by a frigid march.monospaced
- i wouldn't mind a touch more weather before we transition into the hot mouth of summer.shellie
- Is this where it's okay to say LA is pretty cold these days? No one ever thinks LA is cold enough. lol it was 33°f in the city a day ago.sea_sea
- I wouldn't think this is normal. Like others have said, I wouldn't put away my cold weather gear yet. We were out there right after New Years and it reminded...lvl_13
- of being back in the Midwest. It was fucking awful.lvl_13

So anyone that talks about the earth being flat like Kyrie Irving, is completely trolling right? People can't possibly believe that. Why do we even waste a minute of media time on this stuff? Its like the internet and television are catering to teenagers only.
I understand the need for fun and lighthearted stories, but this is just stupid.
- Is he religious or just dumb, cuz we've all seen globes.freedom
- Don't even talk about it, it's too easy to get press these days by being dumb.freedom
- Maybe he's planning to run for president?freedom
- Maybe it's a publicity stunt?freedom

We as digital artists must battle the robotic automation forces by creating truly unique, handcrafted art. The days of medicocre design by humans is over... taken over by automation.
Digital art will be completely overtaken by automatronics.

What's the technical name for the visuals that play during the Oscars when they're going through the award nominations?
Whatever they're called, I really like them this year.
- example or link?utopian
- you have a thing for triangles :)Gnash
- Bottom thirdsmonospaced
- lower thirdsmoldero
- that's what I meantmonospaced

Huh. People really give a shit about who wins Oscars, as if it matters.
- Aww, I hurt someone's feelings.i_monk
- It really is fascinating the level of celebrity worship. They're just movies! The awards affect nobody and nothing except those receiving them.monospaced
- it increases the movie sales by a lot. and individuals who receives them are more likely to get even more work.pango
- Creates desirable time for TV ads too.
And for us peasants, it means more small talk subjects in the coffee room...pango - okaymonospaced
- Come to think of it, I did feel like seeing those shitty movies after they were mentioned. Then it quickly fizzled and I focused on something else..futurefood
- Just saying. Cuz someone asked.pango

- It's likely too far along, but next time you do a project like this pick up some Floetrol. It's a paint addition that helps the open/working time and allowsETM
- your brushing, spray or roll to level off a little more before it dries to reduce roller/brush marks etc. and it just makes the paint nicer to work with.ETM

So I guess after 4 years of faithful service I have to upgrade my iPhone 5c to a new 7.
Aside from some hiccups when multitasking and the screen being too small for UI testing the 5c works perfectly.
- That's the jump i made. The 7 is a pretty nice phone. I liked the size of my 5s, and this one isn't too much of a big difference. Lots of storage space too.capn_ron
- 32gb or 128? I wish there was a 64 optionfourth
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- go 128, why not. phones will hold more in 4 years when you upgrade again.capn_ron
- got the 128gb. its weird how so much has changed in 4 years and at the same time nothing much has changed if that makes any sensefourth
- i agree! it is all the same and so different at the same timecapn_ron

Started my masters today.. curation and cultural leadership.. managed to pick 2 of the driest subjects to start with.. Australian art and cultural policy and communication for artistic disciplines..
Going to be super super dry..
On the upside, tutorial class is 35 people, only 3 of which are guys.. the rest mid to late twenties girls ..
Can't always complain
- honest question, why do you start a master on something that will likely not bring you no jobs unless you have a solid network?GeorgesII
- The joy of learning georges! the joy of learning!pango
- i have a reasonably strong network..autoflavour
