UK libel laws are dumb and terrible but I'm not gonna complain when they're used against tories or tory press.

sebzilla posted:Latvia's song was amazing and didn't even get through the semis so the entire competition is a farce as far as I'm concerned. Tbf they wouldn't let Georgia and Azerbaijan read out the votes in the final due to 'irregularities' so it seems like the semi finals were a massive fix.

I wonder if we can infer anything about the collective mood of the continent from the prevalence of ballads (and pretty doomy ones at that)

Just out of curiosity, I'm not up on my Liverpool history. What was with them booing the national anthem? Like, I've got no beef with people doing that, but why's it specifically a Liverpool thing?

Darth Walrus posted:Just out of curiosity, I'm not up on my Liverpool history. What was with them booing the national anthem? Managed decline in the 70s, then Hillsborough. Scouse exceptionalism goes back further than that but those were the two big things that switched it. In the 60s it wasn't unusual to see a Union Jack on the Kop but you'd never get one now.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Thats not what ratioed is though? It's morphed to mean really any relationship between two numbers you can contrive on twitter. Specifically people will post "ratioed" beneath unpopular tweets in an attempt to get the reply more likes than the original.

They've built their entire recent identity around 'Corbyn bad' and twisted it through tortured logic into making them the good guys. It's like centrist Qanon by this point, complete with accusations of secret Trotskyists mentally manipulating the police. Switch Corbyn for Clinton and Trotsky for Soros and you can built the exacts same unpleasant conspiracies about "you don't really care about X rights, you have just been mentally manipulated."

Here's what Lee Anderson actually said.quote:At the start of the clip, Daubney refers to Monroe as the “self-appointed representative of the impoverished”, adding she has “sold loads of books. Done quite well out of it. No doubt, probably earns more than the prime minister”.

I don't think this thread has been hidden for about 4 years (I lurked for several weeks until it got hidden on 2018 and I decided it was worth paying for). Not been hidden since, sometimes I read on a different device and don't sign in just so I can keep up. Can't speak for other threads.

Does anyone have a good idea for good generalised history books about Central or Southern America from prehistory onward? Not as an academic exercise more just trying to get started. I'm asking because I can't find poo poo on any site that I really trust the reviews of.
