There's so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun".

If Andrew Tate was a Persona character his dungeon would be something else.

But I thought LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder?!

Actually I never got that. WINE isn't an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.

My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.

No, the BBC is funded through the licence fee, not the budget. It's a weird system but the idea is that the government can't just turn on/off the funding spigot to put pressure on the BBC.

Of course, they still manage to put pressure on in other ways, by appointing board members etc

Is it that controversial? Kids run around naked all the time. The idea of this bike ride is that people can be naked just for the hell of it, without being sexually objectified. Banning kids from it would fly in the face of that.

When that 10-year-old grows up I imagine they'll be quite proud that they made a bunch of stuffy town councillors bust a blood vessel just by riding a bike around naked.

I think part of it is not wanting to be mugged off. Even though it doesn't materially affect you, having someone come in everyday and nick stuff in front of you would probably wear you down. No excuse for violence of course but I can see how it comes to this.

To be fair that's quite a good bit. Adolf Shitler.

People are allowed to have opinions about cases that haven't been fully investigated yet. Jimmy Savile never got convicted but I'm pretty sure he wasn't innocent.

I don't understand the story with this guy. Apparently he was arrested on January 4th, and had been an FBI informant for years: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-proudboys-leader-idUSKBN29W1PE

How is he now getting a 33 year long sentence if we was an informant?
