It's hilarious how quickly he hops from "The world seems to be dreading Bolton's inevitable Iranian clusterfuck," to "Okay, but if you really want to take down the Iranians you gotta spread that clusterfuck around the whole region."

Israel stumbles into Hamas's trap by blowing up a shepherd with a tank shell unprovoked, which is what stoked the Land Day march in the first place. Weird how that's missing from this article. :thunk:

the BBC has been turned into cops under cameron and may

the BBC are always cops for whoever is in power, they used to be insanely pro-blair when he was PM.
Their executives are all chosen by the government cause its two jobs are state propaganda news and terrible telly tripe like sherlock

fun fact: when the tories first got in they actually changed the BBC colours to blue to represent the change in leadership, then changed it back to red because it was a little on the nose.
I can't find any pictures of this though because googles new search algorithms suck insanely bad

once corbyn smashes the tories it'll go left and itll be hilarious the amount of crying that will come from the centre right guardianistas

The article reminded of the fact that months into Glenn Thrush's new beat in the Housing and Urban Development department he missed the scoop on the Carson's table story, the most notable story the department produced in decades.

quote:

According to the Los Angeles Times, investigators are looking at a website bearing Nasim Aghdam’s name. (Authorities haven’t yet confirmed the website was hers.) The garish and poorly organized site rails against YouTube and its workers. “There is no equal growth opportunity on YOUTUBE or any other video sharing site, your channel will grow if they want to!!!!!” it says.

In one section, the writer alleges that “close-minded youtube employees ... began filtering my videos to reduce views & suppress & discaurage [sic] me from making videos.”

In another erratic paragraph, the writer warns that “dictatorship exists in all countries,” then alludes to Hitler’s “big lie” theory of propaganda. “There is no free speech in real world & you will be suppressed for telling the truth that is not supported by the system. Videos of targeted users are filtered & merely relegated, so that people can hardly see their videos!” she says.

Does she actually reference Hitler or "big lie"? Because this sounds like Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent more than anything. love 2 label criticism of capitalism as fascism.

I've worked at a University for two years and I have never heard of "safe spaces" until right wing media wouldn't shut up about them.

it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


probably what happened, is that some higher ups were forced into conversation with him, and they couldn't help but notice just how grotesque he is in person

The sad thing I must confess is that Friedman is right that Putin has been awful for Russia

Which is not to say if Putin were pro-west, Friedman wouldn't be all for him

And of course he thinks silicon valley and THE MARKET are going to take Putin down, which is pathetic beyond all human comprehension, because obviously PROCESSING POWER in goddamn microchips can't be used for tyranny or I don't know, getting a scumbag filled with racist spiders elected president

He's such a simpleminded buffoon

He really needs a strong nickname like Boris Johnson (it is Bojo FYI)
