Hey now

If you’re racist and you know it, clap your hands!

Should copyright for works that old be expired? Yes!

In the actual world we live in, was this guy ever going to avoid being sued so hard that his grandchildren will be embarrassed for him? No!

You've got to admire the lemming-like devotion to the legal cliff he threw himself off though. Writing a sequel to not only a copyright work, but one that is still in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a 20-year old wildly successful series of films? Ballsy. Subsequently suing one of the largest companies in the world and the estate that produced the original works as infringing his copyright?

Chutzpa, I believe the term is.

Huh. Interesting.

"Speakers from places like Blackburn usually differentiate between pairs of words such as 'stellar' and 'stella', whereas most of England would consider them to be the same," says Dr. Turton.

Short of deliberately rolling the R, I don't actually know how I could pronounce it... I'd never thought about that before.

We had a chance for that, but the electorate was too stupid to vote for it anyway.

Referendums. Huh. What are they good for? Fucking over the rest of us, that's what.

it would not have provided sufficient protection for American workers

There's some irony, considering from this side of the pond, it doesn't look as if they have any...

Jaxo is looking at him with the 'damn it, I still thought you were going to start Ice Ice Baby..." expression.

Almost immediately, Twitter users began to call for me to be charged with perjury. With liberal usage of the N-word and homophobic slurs, they also said that I, along with my family, should be hanged for treason.

I got up from the bench and briskly finished my walk home. After I locked the door, I went and checked the go-bag that I had kept packed for exactly a moment like that. And then I followed the plan I had in place to leave my home.

Jesus Christ, what is wrong with these fucking cultists?

I've heard people saying everyone should be more involved in local politics, but I don't think this is what they have in mind...

Got echos of that old Northern Ireland 'joke' where the gunman asks "yes, but are you a protestant atheist or a catholic atheist".

Chilling.

WELL THAT'S ALL RIGHT THEN!

but sometimes you get a “false elector” who legally overrides democracy and votes for a different candidate.

Genuine questions - how often does that happen? It can't be a lot, and it can't make the deciding vote, right, otherwise the whole system would have been ripped apart by the media long ago...

While true, the Tory party that won the last election looks a bit different to the gobshites that are in government now.

Don't get me wrong, I thought the last lot were assholes as well, but while technically legal, swapping out basically all of the government several times seems like a bit of a bait and switch.

I assume his slogan was "Well I'm not as bad as Priti 'fuck you I got mine' Patel"...

I suppose there's no consequences to these asshats not doing the actual job the People are paying them to do and instead trying to do what history will probably look back on as "a bit of light treason"...

Sainsbury’s and Tesco have also faced criticism for creating a two-tier pricing system, offering much lower prices to loyalty card holders.

“The vast majority of customers in supermarkets want to use Nectar because it saves them money. If you spend on average £80 this week and use Nectar Prices, you’ll save about £10 on your shop so customers really like that value.

Get in the fucking sea. Of course you'll 'save' money with a Nectar card if they have wildly inflated prices for non cardholders. The fact that this is happening in more and more supermarkets makes me want to start setting them on fire, and the bastards that come up with these plans.

It's like they're all reading the same copy of 'how not to be a garbage human being' and doing the exact opposite of each lesson...

Woah, spoilers! It's only been... checks notes... 200 years!

It's security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It's not that it's not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.

Ah, but from where I sit (a long way from the US), it looks more like a pissing contest between the Republicans to see who can be the most terrible human being in government, than it does look like any sort of actual policy or principal.

It's not about helping Ukraine, or avoiding the mistakes of Afghanistan - it's about trying to make Biden (and/or 'The Dems' in general) look bad, even if that involves civilian deaths.

Are they evil, Russian agents or just absolute clowns? It doesn't really matter, does it. The end result is the same.
