https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftLzQefpBvM A black CNN reporter and his team arrested by the police, with no reason provided a) when a white CNN reporter in the area was allowed to continue reporting and b) when the cop who killed George Floyd has not been arrested. Anyone who's listened to the Pr...

Oooo lets play a game! Who here is considered valuable enough to be allowed into the U.K.
I qualify, but about half my point come from having a PhD.

One of my current favorite social media trends is middle aged men suddenly realising that Rage against the Machine might be just a liiiiiiittle bit left-wing and suddenly hating their former favourite band. :roll: I mean in my teens I lacked the political education to FULLY understand what those lyr...

Modern society has made us uniquely ill-prepared for the only certainty in life, which is death. This is largely because we have become accustomed to being able avoid it, at least until we get to a ripe old age, but also probably has something to do with the fact that we are no longer comfortable w...

Mother Reunited With Deceased Daughter In VR Show Article pretty much encapsulates my feelings on this with its final few paragraphs. Once I got past my initial knee-jerk that was basically; "Kill it!!! Kill it with fire!!" This is one of those things that I thought we had another 5-10 years to get...

Here's what I don't get about the conspiracy theories: What exactly was this supposed to achieve? We know there's a paper trail backup to the app because apparently they're not total incompetents, so any conspiracy to fiddle the results would have to be capable of interfering with the paper trail. ...

Surprised no one has posed this yet https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/voting_software.png I think the DNC is at it again. They screwed Sanders over in 2016. I wouldn't be surprised if they played games to make sure Bernie loses and their pick runs. Eh I was afraid of that, and by 'that' I mean this will ...

Democrat is having an incredible night.

Seriously WTF is going on.
Genuinely can't determine the answer, I've seen all sorts flying around.

Finished the latest series (4) of The Expanse. Quite impressed at how they've managed to keep up the pacing and tension after the world changing events of the end of season 3, the narrative could so easily have fallen flat. Some talented screenwriters on this one. I generally enjoyed the "Sol system...

Salamiman was a terrorist. I am not hearing that get spoken enough. I'd challenge you to make a single accusation against Salamiman that could not also be levelled at the U.S. government. As you yourself say, over the last 3 administrations the foreign policy of US has just become increasing aggres...

He's rationalized that they attack our civilians, so we can do the same (in more but less concise words). So effectively, he wants to turn the US military into terrorists and trying to make a right by way of 2 wrongs. Its actually worse than that, he basically said if Iran can blow up our SOLDIERS ...

So CBS have got their hands on the crime scene and autopsy photos from Jeffery Epstein's death. Fair warning that some people might find such pictures upsetting, but nothing gory nor especially explicit shown. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-autopsy-a-closer-look-60-minutes-2020-01-05/ ...

Gotta be the following, a single word and a phrase
(Both contain a swear, so out of respect for the profanity filter I'll put it in spoilers and * out a letter):

I don't think he wrote it (he isn't articulate enough), there's certainly a lot of Trump flavour in it, so I suspect he at least had a hand in the writing of it. That implies the existence of a person whose job it is to: "Write from the position of Trumps worldview, but try and make it NOT sound li...

**** me, this is TERRIFYING. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/10/us/politics/trump-antisemitism-executive-order.html This is something with a long dark history, in every other case where a State has classified Judaism as a "nationality" it was a prelude to an attempt at ethnic cleansing. Nationality ...

Trump's BS about the wall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQo79GHq4T0 :lol: There was a guy I used to go drinking with who was pretty in to climbing. His drunken party piece was climbing lamp posts. Depending on exactly how drunk he was he could get up one in between about 10s and a minute. That w...

So they are making a film adaptation of the HP Lovecraft story "The Colour Out of Space" which IIRC was his first cosmic horror story and pretty much defined the genera. It stars, of all people, Nick Cage. :roll: https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2019/11/06/the-color-out-of-space-trailer-is-here-to-melt-...

Also watched first episode of "Dark", a German supernatural/sci-fi thriller thing. Not sure, will give it another episode or two. Dark is pretty good. Often requires you pay attention though, not one to half-watch whilst doing something else. Haven't seen the second series and I'm wondering if I ne...

Point being, half of the country did not vote for him, or Clinton for that matter, but he received less votes than she did. Ok, to rephrase in light of that. - "Nearly half of the voters that cared enough to vote at all, voted for Trump." This is not better. To anticipate the counter argument of: P...

I'm very sorry, but as i said, Trump is your current chosen representative and does so for the entire country whether you like him or agree with him or not, so no i won't refrain from insulting America as a whole as you say. I prefer that better than to make it personal Agreed. Very nearly half the...
