Another masterclass in how legacy media turns actual societal collapse into entertainment slop. Le guardian’s “Pass Notes” format looks like writing for 12-year-olds, but with the air of someone who thinks they’re clever.
An actual newspaper would have reported on UNESCO endangered status warnings, medieval sewage infrastructure and chemical pollution. Instead we get cutesy Q&A, Disney tangents, and “Do say/Don’t say” boxes telling readers what to think. This isn’t even close to journalism, it’s BuzzFeed for the pretentious.

But it is OK when local criminals racket shop owners, right?
I really don’t understand why people travel to Venice. I think it would be my personal tourist hell.
Outside of peak season it can be beautiful. It still holds historical significance and has some incredibly well preserved architecture.
I wouldn’t dream of visiting in peak season though!
It’s actually a very unique city worth visiting. It’s just become crushed to death by tourists like many national parks, galleries, destinations, etc.
I don’t doubt it is a beautiful city. The mass tourism is the reason I would never visit.
