Man, I hope this convinces them to announce a wide release of the album. The bid for it is already over $1mil.:(

True story, I ran over my foot with my own car when I needed to push it like a meter without starting it. My right foot was further back for bracing and I just ran it over with the rear wheel once I got the car moving. It only hurt a bit for like a minute, but still, I'm the idiot.

So not only do Wu-Tang have the right to organize a heist or caper, the album cannot be "commercially exploited" until 2103. Hopefully they just take it off him in court.

he's also trying to make us the bad guys.

quote:

"I decided to purchase this album as a gift to the Wu-Tang Clan for their tremendous musical output. Instead I received scorn from at least one of their (least-intelligent) members, and the world at large failed to see my purpose of putting a serious value behind music.

"I will be curious to see if the world values music nearly as much as I have. I have donated to many rock bands and rappers over the years to ensure they can continue to produce their art when few others would.

"At any time I may cancel this sale and I may even break this album in frustration. I will donate half of the sale proceeds to medical research. I am not selling to raise cash - my companies and I have record amounts of cash on hand. I hope someone with a bigger heart for music can be found for this one-of-a-kind piece and makes it available for the world to hear."

He added: "Upon sale, I will represent & warranty any copies of the music I have will be destroyed. I have not carefully listened to the album, which is a double CD. There is also a finely crafted booklet which you can read about elsewhere. I will pay legal expenses for the buyer up to $25,000 to ensure the final purchase details are mutually agreeable."

In irish blue is "gorm" and black is "dubh" but black people are "[people] gorm"

https://twitter.com/ronanburtenshaw/status/905785496684683264

Also their translation is impossibly bad and incorrect that aside

Lives (as in where you live not life)

Black people instead of blue

the noun for subject instead of verb matter

Also their word ordering is wrong because in Irish verbs come first.

The ultimate schdenfreude with Shkreli is that the only reason he's facing charges is because he screwed over other rich people.

He's in trouble for the one and singular thing about him that can be considered half-way decent.

Man, even a Google translation of the phrase comes up with "Blue living material". Did this guy just not do any QA on this shirt at all?

He's also wearing a kilt with that shirt. I've always enjoyed the kilt-and-Tshirt look, and the bad Irish on it just makes it better.

They were eventually convicted, but not for anything seen in that video. Instead, the prosecutors went through all of the footage and found these two fine upstanding citizens had 'illegally concealed' their weapons at some prior time. LOL.

I mean...it's perfectly obvious the prosecutor just wanted to find SOMETHING to nail these guys. But come on, going into a PD like that with a rolling camera is just trolling for a bad reaction. Hence the camera.
Just because you can doesn't mean it's a great idea.

They got off easy. They could have been shot without a single cop getting looked at funny.

Color distinctions in language are somewhat arbitrary and change over time. Old Norse similarly had the word for African "blåmann", blue man (contrast with the Old Norse word for a dark-elf "svartálfr" (cognate "swarthy") or "myrkálfr" (cognate "murky")). At the time "blå" had a broader sense, and something similar may have happened in Irish.

"Black Man" already meant The Devil over there; they have a big tradition of naming people based on their hair color; light-skins get called "bright people". It's weird but when you think about it, not any weirder than casually reducing people to "white" or "black" when most of us are brown and pink brown.

The guy carrying a rifle slung across his body was also wearing a Balaclava. They wanted a reaction just so they could tell the cops that they were technically correct.

I think having guns out and legal is stupid.

But...if thats the law, and jts all good, why are the police freaking out. Either guns are harmless if secured properly or they are not and are a threat. If they are a threat then tbey ought be restricted. Boom i just won gun rights.
