When the UK last had a moron setting everything on fire she was outlasted by a lettuce.

Americans need to up their game.

Why is anyone interested in anything?

My nephew was obsessed with Teslas a few years ago. I asked him why, his response? The indicators can be set to make fart noises.

My 7 year old daughter and I watch Mark's videos together and they have helped to spark her interest in engineering & science.

That Flash movie had 3 different Batmen!

My 7 year old likes it. I can watch it without wanting to gouge my own eyes out. 2 thumbs up.

They won't care that he has been luigied, they will care about their shytocurrency.

I desperately hope the EU grows some balls and walls us off from the malign influence that is Musk and Twitter. We're sleepwalking into our own Trumpian dystopias.

Eventually, someone will Luigi Elon. Absolutely no one will care.

Whatever you want him to do, the next guy would reverse it in 2 months. Well done USA.

I love this. I will be using it as a punchline with my nerdy friends.

Close Cooperation with eachother. The USA can no longer be seen as a reliable partner with its wild ideological swings and a lack of strong commitment to the cause.

Make or break for a strong European State.

From a UK perspective we're absolutely fucked due to Brexit. USA is unreliable, detached from the EU, what's left? BRICS? Lol.

Shit.

It's fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.

He had been incorrectly identified as a terrorist and an imminent threat. The fuck up was not the person who fired the gun but whoever gave him the order.

Another Brit here, yes cops do get punished in high profile cases with video evidence such as this.

The contradictory examples listed above were quite complex cases from what I remember.

That said, as a teenager a friend of mine was beaten up in a police van in a case of mistaken identity. He was advised by his lawyer to drop the case as there was little chance of proving what happened as the police had smashed up his phone which he had been recording them with.

Due to the context of police officers being injured prior to what's shown on tape. I expect in this instance, the cop to get a lenient pushiment.

This is me, too. I run a dual Sim on my phone for this reason. I've always been good at ignoring things after hours unless motivated by self interest.

Yes, I agree, a terrible parenting strategy. Also fuck elf on the shelf, since the whole book is about how the elf is Santa's spy and you can't question or touch it. I'm pretty sure this is what gave her the awful idea.

Feel you. I got accused by my brother in law of being some kind of psychopath for not wanting Santa in the house.

In their house, my sister is already using the threat of Christmas big brother against any minor hijinks that their kid gets up to.

I have a three year old, so unfortunately, I have another 4 years of this nonsense ahead of me.

This should be pinned to the top.

"for some reason" first rodeo with the Daily Hiel?

I hope so. Although, I can see the potential for a school community to essentially play a game of telephone over social media as well.

We don't know her priors. But if she has them, fair enough really.

Does a definitive answer of "at least it wasn't racist" make this appreciably any better? Does it make them any more likely to get a teaching job after this?<

On the first question: yes, making a bad joke is better than being a racist. On the second: also probably... yes, tbh. Not saying it wouldn't harm her career but less that everyone thinking you're racist.

It also doesn't change the core argument the teacher is making in the story. "You lumped me in with a bunch of racists because I was white. I took down the image because it was offensive. Obviously. Why would I leave it up if it was offensive?"<

Completely agree. Claiming reverse racism is almost always shitty thing to do. I'll happily concede that it's even less likely the school is racist.
