They need to play Batman like a straight cop next time. Literally just a brutal private security elite, killing anyone and destroying proof of Bill Clinton's crimes aboard the Lolita Express.

Kind of true, but in those cases where you're going to need accessibility adjustments, inform the organiser, and ask if a comrade can audio record the parts you miss if it means that much.

It does suck that public transport can fuck you over, and sometimes you can't do anything about it. I think often you sort of can, but when you can't, I've found people pretty forgiving as long as I've made them aware and my lateness doesn't impede the groups progress.

I think the answer is giving access to the missed material to late people instead of saying 'fuck them'. The answer is not loose start times, because people only have so much time. A well oiled event is important. A poorly organised one can be an absolute nightmare.

I did think immediately 'ah, they've found themselves a fall guy'

More info will come out in time, I suppose. Give it 50 years.

Corbyn might get an independent seat. Exit polls say it's too close to call between him and the Labour ghoul he's against. The ghoul has ghosted Corbyn's call to debate multiple times, because they have explicit ties to private healthcare corporations.

Anyway... I am so unenthusiastic on Labour, yet I suckered up and gave them a tactical vote because they're just barely better than Lib Dems who were closely contesting them in my area. Immediately after voting I wanted to go take my vote back. They represent me on almost no major issues at all. Fucking useless. Next time I'll go Green.

Oh.. also, exit polls have Reform (racist party) getting 13 seats to Green's 2. Climate change? Eh. Racism? Bing bing bing.

EDIT: Corbyn easily beats labour ghoul, and reform go even with Greens. There's silver linings.

'The world’s No 3 nickel producer, New Caledonia lies at the heart of a geopolitically complex maritime region, where China and the US are jostling for power and influence in security and trade. Without naming China, the French president has previously said France’s drive to expand its influence in the Pacific was to ensure a “rules-based development”.'

The usual, then.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

What if you were one of the inhabitants of the ghetto who had been treated like animals for decades?

Don't answer. There is no way for you to possibly know the suffering they have endured, and what a human might do in that scenario.

Hello! My old laptops hard drive packed it in, so I got a new one and now need to flash drive an operating system on it. I think this is my time to give Linux a proper go. I tried it before for my gaming PC but switched for a cracked Windows key because I was young and not bothered to learn.

Well, now is my chance to give it another go. I'm looking for a Linux optimised for performance on an HP 255 G7. Threadbare, but not so bare that it'll require me to do a load of complicated stuff to do the basics. I'll just be using it for YouTube and Google docs really. Any help/advice/orders are appreciated.

Thanks!

Officer Mark Dial had been charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter and five other counts stemming from the August 14 shooting in Philadelphia. The case was notable in that police initially told reporters Irizarry “lunged at the officers” while outside his vehicle, only to later admit that video disproved that assertion.

Total lies. They shot a man who was conforming to police orders while sitting in the front of his car.

Dismissed because the officers allegedly thought the knife in the guys waistband was a gun.

I agree. It's too easy. Some of them are funny but for the most part I wish my front page would return to interesting news and left wing hot takes.

Every little counts, especially if you make it a routine part of your day.

Even on days that I can't get a workout in, I'll throw a few pull-ups in on my bar just for good measure. Sometimes I'll do half a workout. Sometimes I'll just do a quick set before I leave the house.

Every little bit helps. No excuses not to move your body for a minute per day. You'd be surprised how far it goes.
