Made by said nonce, though arguably less controversial than his statues and drawings of naked children, modelled after his daughters, which he nonced. Reading the guardian article about it really makes you wonder what's wrong with art critics who say poo poo like this: quote:When I contact MacCarthy, she tells me she has watched in “dismay” as the fact of Gill’s abuse of his daughters has grown to become the thing that defines him. “My book was never a book about incest, which is what one would imagine from many hysterical contemporary responses,” and quote:She has, moreover, serious doubts about the latest approaches to his work. “There’s also the question of whether today’s curators are really equipped to deal with all the possible nuances of the sexual aberrations in the lives of artists, and how to interpret these to the viewing public. Also he lived in the 20th century it's not some medieval thing. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Jan 12, 2022 |

Barry Foster posted:Go check out the biosphere collapse thread in CSPAM lol Life has ducked several catastrophes that make anything humanity could throw at it look absolutely tame, and even the most extreme projections for collapse won't even be the worst disaster *caused by life getting too big for its boots* - the Oxygen Catastrophe and the Cryogenian both wiped out all but the tiniest proportion of life on the planet. Until the Sun goes red giant and melts the Earth to its constituent atoms in about 5 billion years life will continue on, and maybe next time it will avoid all that multicellular poo poo that just seems to bring trouble.

Boris hasn't been "teflon", he's not immune to scandal. As long as there's a little bit of traction on a story at all, it exists for as long as the press want it to exist. If the press decided they wanted to keep Boris in power, all the front pages would say something different tomorrow, and in a couple of week's time people would wonder how Boris wriggled out of this one. We all saw what happened with Corbyn, a couple of nothing stories were repeated every single day for years until a dedicated anti-racist campaigner became the new Oswald Mosely.

iirc it's still the house font for the Church of England, and most post 2000 editions of the Book of Common Prayer. That's pretty unfortunate, he wasn't even CofE. Think of how many typefaces designed by Anglican nonces were passed over.

Gort posted:Christ, 400 COVID deaths reported today. I hate to keep repeating this because it was the refrain of the dumbest fuckers on the planet not too long ago, but that's *with* covid, not *of*, a number that gets severely skewed at a time when something like 2% of the entire population currently have covid. Numbers in ventilation beds are still dropping, and death certificates are actually showing a *drop* in covid deaths over the week before Christmas

Oh sure state gifts are normal and all, but it's just specifically giving him a big pile of them that's funny. I don't think even stalin could purge fast enough to need dozens of guns.

I just looked this up, it was Tehran apparently. Apparently the Soviet band played both God Save the King and the Internationale, which is some pretty mixed messaging. I think the best state gift was Khrushchev giving Kennedy one of Strelka's puppies at the height of the space race. ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Jan 12, 2022 |

Somehow I just can't see plod knocking on the front door of one of the Queen's kids and marching them to the airport in handcuffs. He'll win Prince Michael of Sealand in a duel and become the ruler and live happily everafter in his sovereign princedom.
