She's had the same surgical operation that Anna Boleyn and Catherine Howard had. Keeping ahead can be hard in the royal family.

People surprised we are talking much about this stuff seem to forget the “what colour was The Dress” when it comes to digital photo analysis that poo poo can go on for ages. (It was blue and black). As for Diane Abbot, I will hear nothing bad against her. Drinking a mojito after a day in the underground is something anyone I respect would do.

Failed Imagineer posted:Plus releasing an additional photo of the back of her head as proof of life, its way beyond credibility. More interest than their family have gotten since Liz died and the vast majority of people would be satisfied by a 5-second video or something. Maybe they just think that's beneath them but even that is hilarious. the BBC had a different picture of her in the car with her face visible from god knows when  this shite and the body language in the car says william has assaulted her to the point of needing plastic surgery imo

Every time Abott flubs a sentence I give zero shits and frankly 99% of the people criticising her say dumber poo poo on purpose on a sub-hourly basis.

quote:By helping the normal take precedence over the natural, physicians have also contributed to populational biopolitics. We have become, Foucault writes, “a society of normalization.” One important mid-twentieth-century sexologist went so far as to name the male and female models in his anatomy text Norma and Normman (sic).

Honestly I suspect the real story isn’t as dramatic as William assaulting her and her needing facial reconstruction, or her being in a coma as speculated by that Spanish news outlet. It’ll be something boring like “she’s sick of William loving around and wants a divorce, and the royals are waving lawyers around”

There's a generation of white people who've developed this kind of joking-but-also-genuinely-resentful reverse exceptionalism when it comes to any prominent black figures they've had to grow up alongside, which in their minds is not the same thing at all as racism. So of course Hester isn't racist! He just thinks Diane Abbott is thick. It's not because she's black, he'd say the same thing if she was white. Oh, and Obama is smug. And Tiger Woods, he was arrogant. And Mandela, Mandela wasn't as saintly as he's painted out to be. And Serena Williams is mannish. And Meghan Markle, she's just awful. And Jay-Z is a lowlife. And did you know that the Africans were also slave traders? And- Singling out and bullying people of colour for failing to know their place is part of the apparatus of white supremacy, but I don't think the media and political discourse is really able to engage with that head-on so I guess we'll get Keith demanding the Tories return the £10 million for a week, a few rounds of "well, he apologised", and we'll be done.

But have you considered that they've perhaps placed Rose Hanbury's brain into Kate's skull and need to keep her hidden until the head stitches are healed enough to easily conceal. The location of Kate's brain is unknown and - frankly - unimportant.

notaspy posted:Wtf, have you got a link to this story please? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mishaal_bint_Fahd_Al_Saud Very famous story, although mostly because ITV made a docudrama about it ("Death of a Princess") and were made to issue a groveling apology to the house of Saud for offending them. (Which was parodied by Not the Nine O'clock News, who framed it as "if you want to execute your princesses then go right ahead, as many as you like. You can have a couple of ours, if you want.")

WIth the Hestor stuff, I love how racists often start off by saying they aren't racist. A really lovely example of this is an irrelevant cannabis activist grifter who tried to be a politician at one point. https://peter-reynolds.co.uk/2010/01/04/the-state-of-our-nation/ quote:I am not a racist. My oldest friend is a jet black Jamaican. However, on New Year’s Eve, when I drove down from my parents’ house in Hertfordshire to see that self-same friend in Maida Vale I was horrified at what I saw on Kilburn High Road. Even more so than when I lived there, nearly three years ago, it has been swamped with immigrants. It deserves posting because of this amazing top comment that the idiot replied to

Dabir posted:In the same way that fingernails on a blackboard sounds educational? This makes me wonder what causes that feeling. Of all the things, for example, the sound of cardboard scraping does that to me, especially if I'm the one scraping it, but I've never heard of anyone else having the same experience. Why does it also seem ten times worse after I cut my nails too? Bizarre.
