In the news

Several of the people who were caught up in Wednesday's mass shooting at Thunder Oaks were survivors of the Last Vegas mass shooting in October last year. One of them ran out of luck this time. https://heavy.com/news/2018/11/telemachus-orfanos-tel/

Fucking hell. It's just beyond belief.

Got to wonder if there is a link, some kind of deluded "unfinished business" type thing. Apparently that bar was where local survivors of the Las Vegas shooting went to check in on each other. Why would white Americans target country music fans?

Because the musicians are too well protected?

Malibu:

The beeb presenter who covered the Paradise fire said "Not so much Paradise lost as Paradise completely destroyed!"

if the guy changes his age to 49 or whatever he'll just be another sad 49yr old on a dating website,
if you're changing your age change it to 1,000 or 597 and really stand out and then just lie about your real age when all the curious types start asking for a date, who wouldn't be curious enough to date a 597 yr old

Bet they'd have some stories.

Blair looks like he's trying to remember that now is not the time to punch Corbyn in the back of the head.

Also found was a pastry cutter shaped like a Swastika in a kitchen drawer

wtf

Mmmmm anyone for a nice slice of Swasticake?

The Lord Lester (of Herne Hill) sexual abuse allegations...?

I know his daughter.

Awks.

Did she offer you a peerage?

The swastika cushions, and naming the child Adolf, nudges this story into the realm of the absurd.

That is ridiculous, and also, it leaves so little room for the biscuits to expand during baking that I just can't imagine it would ever produce a satisfactory shape.

As does the woman basically being called Ms Potatoes.

I wonder if her anger and hatred comes from all the schoolyard jibes.

Is owning a copy of the anarchists cookbook actually illegal?

I'm worried that 14 year old me is going to jail...

I think the statute of limitations puts you in the clear.

no, it isn't I believe you can buy it freely on amazon. however if the police ever raid your house looking for evidence of terrorist activities it's abundantly clear that having a copy of this on your shelves will be treated as corroborating evidence.

Apparently In 2017, a 27-year-old was prosecuted in UK solely for the possession of the book. He was found not guilty, unsurprisingly, you know...seeing as its not actually illegal.

Also worth noting that it's (the Anarchist Cookbook) absolute rubbish. The idea that it's a textbook for serious bomb-makers is absurd, promoted by the gutterpress and state prosecutors. It's a joke!

The idea of being imprisoned for owning a silly book that tells you nothing is a rich irony. No-one who has read it could seriously think it's the same book as it has been held out to be.

I read somewhere (so, who knows) that its been changed fairly significantly from the original edition (which was actually helpful) and is now garbage to act as a honey pot

*dons tin foil hat and goes off to buy copy of Catcher in the Rye*

i was always intrigued by the tennis ball stuffed full with match heads.

The idea of being imprisoned for owning a silly book that tells you nothing...

You could apply this thinking to various countries and their blasphemy laws too
