To me the most depressing thing about the protests against the Netanyahu govt and the judicial overhaul in Israel is the prestige TV analogies. "No, it's just like this Netflix turd"

Elon Musk is such a sniveling little bitch. It's incredible he still has some public opinion on his side.

He is the epitome of failing upward.

Too many Musketeers.

Dumb **** literally admitted to firing a disabled person for being disabled. His lawyers need to take his phone.

Mitch McConnell trippin over some bullshit yet again.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Keith Leonard said "local authority severe weather assessment teams have been working over the last number of days and the gritters have been out for Transport Infrastructure Ireland on all the primary routes and motorways throughout the country."

Ah seriously? SWAT? Somebody did not think that one through, did they? Stupid fucking Paddies! :laughing:

I mean I'm not that shocked about it since it's the south but it's still ****ed up.

A Black man was ‘decapitated’ after saying he was being chased by white men. Why do police say no foul play?

What's the feeling about this? In this particular case, I think it's more really a case almost of willful negiligence, but right or wrong, does it set a worrying precedent?

News Alert: Ethan Crumbley's parents should stand trial for involuntary manslaughter, appellate court says


The parents of the Oxford High School shooter will stand trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the four deaths their son Ethan Crumbley caused in the November 2021 shooting, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.

The parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, have argued the charges have no legal justification and they should not be held responsible for their son’s killings.

A panel of judges for the state’s appellate court acknowledged in a written opinion filed Thursday the possible precedent-setting nature of this case – holding parents accountable for a child’s actions – but called the situation unique and unusual.

Cory Doctorow published an article to Wired earlier this year on the "ensh*ttification" of all digital platforms. It's well worth reading for an arresting perspective on the fate which befalls every network and web service.

Hah.

^I don't understand the joke if you're trying to be mean^ https://boxden.com/smilies/Qh2Vxfi.gif

Tucker Carlson was a thorn in Fauci's side and last year Fauci said that Carlson deserved to be fired for the outrageous things he was saying about him.

Almost everything Tucker Carlson said about Anthony Fauci this week was misleading or false

^ Good one, Psy-Fi !

Baths, Beds & Beyond are going out of business, not exactly "Wow I can't believe that", but what surprised me was a line in the report I read that said "...a major chain in America's retail era..." First time I've read such a casual reference to retail being something in the past, a bit like the Civil War era, but more recent.

I imagine they're referring more to when the only way to buy something was to go into a store, rather than now, when you can buy just about anything online. If you like, there may then be two eras: retail, up to about 1990s I guess, and online, which is now. Just guessing, but that could be what they mean.

Yes, that's what I thought, TH. I suppose I'm just slow to accept that old fashioned in-person retail is becoming a thing of the past, even though the evidence is here in this city: shops and restaurants closed since the pandemic first hit here, three years ago.

I think shops have the worst of both worlds. They have to pay for their overheads, and so can't lower their prices to match those online (though they probably wouldn't anyway), so they lose out to the internet. I mean, in all honesty, hand on heart, who's going to pay more for something just to keep a shop in business? You have to remember, when all there was were shops, they weren't exactly helping us, so while I don't want to see physical shops disappear, I do feel in a way somewhat as I did when record labels started whining about Napster: we don't want you to get it for free but we will keep our prices high, so support us.

And then shops have to deal with things like theft, fires, floods, broken down machines, broken down staff, strikes, wage cuts, weather... none of which affects online businesses. So they're on a fast track to nowhere really. I hope not, but the time may come when someone goes to walk into a shop and someone else says "where are you going? Why are you going in there?"

I'm sure there's plenty lefties who find Chomsky being an Epstein buddy a bitter pill to swallow but considering his takes on Ukraine and past takes on Kosovo and Cambodia I'm more than happy to keep his good ideas and chuck his rotting corpse overboard where it belongs without shedding a tear.
