Garrand: Dec 28, 2012; Rhino, you did this to me!

So the fine is over the expenses paid by the Australian labor party for the Australian volunteer's flights to come volunteer for the Sander's campaign?

pretty much, it was a quid-pro-quo situation and the sanders campaign got dinged for it.

The UK is currently getting hosed by a massive snowstorm, most noticeably in the north. The border between England and Scotland was declared impassible at several points, so of course there were idiots who tried to cross. The best was a guy who tried to cross a (shallow) river and was stymied by a truck on the other side, but got stuck in ice when he tried to go back. His reason for wanting to get up into Scotland? His friends were having a boxing match and he wanted to be there.

After doing fine the last couple of days I was finally defeated this morning and was officially snowed in. My BMW 1 Series is unable to ascend the heavily compacted snow and ice covering the access ramp out of my flat block car park. It�s a sharp turn as well so no real chance for a running start to get some momentum going.

My and other RWD residents abortive attempts coupled with the FWD/AWD cars making their way up and down it have just made it far far worse. Now a storm is raging and it�s getting even colder. I�ll be lucky if I can get my car out by Sunday.

I would but it's with my university so I have no control over the dates. I'll get someone to post a picture of my sodden corpse so you can all get schadenfreude at my expense.

Serial evicting, tenant harassing Scumlord getting what she deserves, has a week to avoid being jailed for contempt. This is pretty satisfying, and reminds me how grateful I am that I have a human being for a landlord and not an animate shitpile.

quote:

Hunter College is waging a court battle to evict a stubborn student who refuses to leave her dorm room some two years after dropping out.

Delaware native Lisa S. Palmer � who has not paid rent since 2016 � refuses to leave Room E579 at the school�s 425 E. 25th St. co-ed dormitory, according to an eviction lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The 32-year-old �racked up a staggering $94,000 in unpaid residence hall charges on account of her continued occupancy, all the while ignoring Hunter College�s service of additional vacate notices,� said the suit.

...

�I plan on fighting the lawsuit and while I fight it, I�m going to stay,� Palmer told The Post from outside her messy, 100-square-foot single, which is adorned with a lava lamp, a dream catcher and piles of dirty dishes.

His channel first drew attention during the Gamergate controversy in 2014,[12] when he argued in one of his videos that members of the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) were actively plotting to influence video game development to conform to their "ideological feminist agenda".[13] He stated that the research produced by DiGRA board members was "sloppy and unprofessional and absolutely overrun by people who have an ideological agenda that they simply cannot leave out of their research".[13] An Inside Higher Ed article described these allegations as a "conspiracy theory".[13]

...

In May 2016, in response to Labour Party politician Jess Phillips' statement that rape threats are commonplace for her, Benjamin said "I wouldn't even rape you" in a YouTube video and repeated this on Twitter.[2][7][10][15] Benjamin declined to apologise for the comments.[15]

...

Heat Street and others credited Benjamin's videos with popularising Kekistan,[18][19] including originating the alt-right "flag of Kekistan".[20]

I�ve never heard of this guy, but I can�t imagine why youtube doesn�t want him on their platform. Probably Geoge Soros.

More like gateway to neo-nazi. Sargon built his userbase off the whole Gamergate/anti-SJW crowd and is considered one of that group's intellectuals.

No, that's aurini. Sargon is less dork/loser and more alt right rear end in a top hat racist misogynist etc.

The great thing about Chinese traffic camera gifs is that you never know where the schadenfreude is going to come from until it happens. This one could have been a pedestrian hit by a car, pedestrian hit by a moped, moped crashing because the rider was on the phone, or any one of half a dozen other things.

If a sign falls in a median and it doesn�t strike a head, does it even make a �KLONG!� ?
