In the news

Is this the processed meat argument, slow death.....

good old british humour later in the tweet feed:

Have I missed something about dogs?

They're usually used to portray the owner's feeling as people are incapable of doing the same thing.

Wut? In news? No they really aren't.

You've missed nothing about dogs @lynx - Kay Burley is just wandering around Paris seeking meaning which isn't there.

The son of a family friend is a fireman in Paris and was a first responder at one of the scenes. They found one of the lads who'd blown himself up still half alive and tried to perform CPR. When they took his clothes of, the guy still had undetonated charges on him.

Totally nuts.

Good news cyclists! Leg strength linked to better brains.

That's fucking grim... Poor bastards, everyone involved...

That's LFGSS right there

Don't tell @chainbreaker

If that's what leg strength can do, just imagine what arm strength will be!

A little bit of light relief. The reviews are worth a read:

It's an inverse square law there I'm afraid.
Of course, I'm just basing it on a very small population sample. But it appears to be correct so far...

There were articles in the Guardian at least:

I suppose these days it's all about what 'content' gets clicked on the most, so perhaps that's what determines the impression of relative media silence.

Can ISIS be negotiated with is the current question on my mind...

The lefties on my FB are (perhaps rightly so) upset about civilian deaths which are unavoidable.
But it's not that ISIS aren't totally barbaric.

Though obv. if you bomb a place w/o asking people there, well... maybe they prefer ISIS.

Haaa

doubtful - their entire MO is to bring about the apocalypse

Should just give them all copies of fallout.

I've not brutally murdered or beheaded anyone in real life since Tuesday.
