Thank you to everyone who credited the original UK outrage calendar. As ever, the calendar is kept under review. For example, both September's events are in jeopardy after a poor showing for the past couple of years, while confected Proms rage also seems to have subsided for now.

I'll add it to the pile of helpful definitions.

Post by me in 2024: The whole concept of "woke" as envisaged by its most furious opponents is majestically meaningless Screengrab of GB "News" headline: "UK goes woke as average Briton ditches late nights for early mornings by going to sleep 20 minutes earlier than 2020" Archived tweet by @webofevil from 2023: Very excited to watch Esther McVey devoting valuable government time and resources to the entirely genuine phenomenon - and definitely not a meaningless bogeyman to terrify bewildered readers of the Daily Telegraph - of "woke". Screengrab of Daily Mail headline: "UK builders go WOKE: Study finds three quarters of tradesmen discuss their feelings with colleagues while two thirds shun the fried breakfasts and nearly half say they are history buffs" By Stian Alexander

Yes, argh, oh my god, by now I'm conditioned to expect even emergency newsflashes to start like this
Initial tweet by @anandmenon1, linking to a Guardian article: This is fascinating and troubling by ⁦@MaryanneWolf_⁩ I’ve been increasingly aware of how little time I spend reading properly these days. ‘Skim reading is the new normal. The effect on society is profound’ QT by @webofevil: A problem especially acute with American longform journalism, which prefers every article to begin with 19 paragraphs of "It is a warm spring day & Name Namerson walks once again up the steps of the local library..." before eventually getting to the part about the chemical spill.

I feel like a NASA scientist ticking off his rocket booster stages, and this seems to be right on course.
Tweet by @webofevil on 6 May 2022: There's just the occasional glimmer of Bastani's inevitable Tpny-Parsons-esque slide in late middle age towards "Three cheers for Her Majesty" Quote-tweeting Aaron Bastani on 09 April (showing a photo of Johnson and Zelenskiy in a street in Kyiv): "Brits knocking this because they think wanting to be in the EU is an identity need to get a grip. It takes bottle to go to Ukraine and get out on the streets of Kiev. Fair play to the PM." Post by @charlottor.bsky.social: [A screengrab of Aaron Bastani's byline photo for the Telegraph] Honestly, fuck off. Reply by @houseofpurrm.bsky.social: Aah, the Bastani timeline has reached its inevitable conclusion. Reply by @webofevil.bsky.social: I mean, I agree but I'm not sure he's concluded yet. A future Reform Home Secretary? Reply by @houseofpurrm.bsky.social: He is the living definition of a horror movie jumpscare, so nothing is off the table TBF.

Perhaps a little ahead of schedule, but nonetheless predicted by everyone except possibly Aaron himself.
Tweet by Aaron Bastani on 9 April 2022: A picture of "Boris" Johnson visiting President Zelenskyy in Kyiv, with the text "Brits knocking this because they think wanting to be in the EU is an identity need to get a grip. It takes bottle to go to Ukraine and get out on the streets of Kiev. Fair play to the PM." Quote-tweeted by @webofevil a month later: There's just the occasional glimmer of Bastani's inevitable Tony-Parsons-esque slide in late middle age towards "Three cheers for Her Majesty" (except I actually typed "Tpny Parsons", which has irritated me ever since)
