Antti posted:There's a really good gonzo book waiting to be written about the dark enlightenment-transhumanist-rationalist recesses of the internet, where everyone trips over themselves to be as edgy as possible in new ways, like subsisting on Soylent (a nutrient slurry that gives you the shits) or worshipping a guy who rewrote Harry Potter into a fanfic where magic is replaced by deduction and rational thinking. The great thing about the Harry Potter fanfiction (there has been a mock thread for it) is that it doesn't even really celebrate deduction and rational thinking, or like, use Harry Potter situations to demonstrate how to Think Critically(tm). It's just "this 11 year old behaves as if he were a perfect RPG character and everything works out because nobody just gets fed up with his bullshit, and also, I don't think any of his schemes to manipulate adults or destroy their careers backfire on him."

Guy Goodbody posted:Why on earth do they let him live there? The US embarrassed the current president by linking him to police corruption. By that I mean: quote:In April 2011, relations between Ecuador and the United States soured particularly after Ecuador expelled the U.S. ambassador after a leaked diplomatic cable was shown accusing president Correa of knowingly ignoring police corruption. In reciprocation, the Ecuadorian ambassador Luis Gallegos was expelled from the United States.

How much space is there at the embassy? I've never been to an embassy, but I assume that they have a room with a couple beds in it incase some citizens are stranded overseas and need to crash overnight while they wait for a plane home. Is that Assange's room now?

I don't think Bernie is a bad person, but he is wholly unsuited to dealing with racism in America and that is frankly not acceptable when talking about bringing progressive change.

I'm sure it has been posted, but this thread moves so fast, but McCain has said that the GOP will block any Clinton Nominees for the Supreme Court if they keep the majority So basically the GOP are outright stating that the only legitimate Supreme court is one they control.

I've never been to an embassy, but I assume that they have a room with a couple beds in it incase some citizens are stranded overseas and need to crash overnight while they wait for a plane home. Is that Assange's room now? it's only a few rooms, it's pretty small https://www.buzzfeed.com/jamesball/mr-white-and-mr-blue Staff and security guards at the Ecuadorian embassy are keeping minute-by-minute records and filing daily official reports on the activities of their long-term guest Julian Assange. The documents, marked “secret”, reveal the occasionally fraught relationship between the WikiLeaks chief and his hosts, laying out details of clashes with embassy staff, concerns over Assange’s psychological health, and potential escape plans. A security guard was on duty at around 8:30pm on 6 September, when Assange was in the embassy with two associates. Around this time, the guard discovered that Assange had made his way into the embassy’s secure control room – a room strictly off-limits to him – and started tampering with the security equipment. This led to a scuffle between Assange and the guard that caused damage to the embassy’s equipment. The report then details conflicting accounts of what happened. According to the security guard’s account, Assange was asked to stop messing with the embassy’s systems and to leave the secure room, which he initially refused to do. The guard alleges that Assange then punched over a computer monitor before grabbing him by the shirt. This led, according to the guard, to an altercation for a number of minutes that spilled out into the corridor. A filmmaker who was present for the incident, the report notes, told embassy staff he did not see the beginning of the scuffle, but that Assange was “out of control” and very upset, and clearly wanted to be verbally offensive and to provoke a reaction. Embassy staff, including the ambassador and two security officials described only as “Mr White” and “Mr Blue”, had a meeting to discuss the incident the following day. In sections of the report marked as analysis and recommendations, the author notes that Assange — described as “Mr Guest” — knows “what the limits of his movements are inside the embassy”. The report painstakingly notes Assange’s movements from minute to minute – further evidence of how closely the Ecuadorians monitored “Mr Guest” – reporting that he seemed to wake at 6:05 that morning. Then, just five minutes later, the security guard heard a loud crash from Assange’s room. Assange came to the door, assuring the on-duty guard that everything was fine, but (according to the guard’s account) seeming to try to block his view of the room’s interior. A few minutes later, Assange left the room carrying his laptop into a nearby room designated as his bathroom, where he remained for a period of hours. During this time, the memo continues, the guard was able to see inside Assange’s bedroom, where a large, smashed bookshelf was strewn across the room. The guard took photographs of the room’s condition. The report notes with concern a regular comment in “internal daily reports” on Assange recording his tendency to “shout and talk incoherently” at night, attributed to night terrors. It then goes on to note: “This episode is nothing more than the result of the stress that Mr Assange could be feeling as a result of his isolation. The report continues in quite a critical manner as to Assange’s intrinsic “nature”, independent of his stressful situation, stating that his “evident anger” and “feelings of superiority” could cause stress to those around him — “especially the personnel who work in the embassy, mainly women”. The report also notes a need to “control access to alcohol”. Private Speech posted:The building's not that small though (can't find a picture of his room): most of that building is the colombian embassy. the ecuadorian embassy is half of the bottom floor
