In the news

Not only that, at least one hedge fund was right in the middle of it, skimming the money made by the redditors https://twitter.com/toxic/status/1353890766800621569?s=19

Ironies abound, all the same. Trading platform named after Robin Hood intervenes to stop people robbing from the rich, etc.

Super super glad this has been overturned!

The activists were convicted at Chelmsford Crown Court in December 2018 of intentional disruption of services at an aerodrome under the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990 (AMSA), and the following February three people were given suspended jail sentences while the others were handed community orders.

But in a judgment published today, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett, sitting with Mr Justice Jay and Mrs Justice Whipple, overturned their convictions.

Official Russia Police Twitter (verified by Twitter) warned people not to join protests this upcoming Sunday and posted today this meme:

When you
break law
in the crowd

When you say sorry in police later

When you break law in the police squad -> When you say sorry in human rights court later

Protestors: "You can't arrest all of us!"

State forces: "Please, this is Russia"

Did you say archipelago?

Yes, but in Russia 'Gulag' is just the local name for Center Parcs.

“Apparently there’s been an ongoing dispute between neighbors, some of
which involved a dispute about snow disposal and removal,” Luzerne
County First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said.

“They’re across the street from each other, and when they would
remove snow they would throw it across the street at the other
person’s property.”

After slaughtering the couple, Spaide went back inside his home and
grabbed an AR-15-style rifle, authorities said.

“He retrieved the rifle and shot them again,” Plains Township police
Sgt. Michael Smith told the paper.

Police said Spaide then went back inside his home and used a third
rifle to kill himself.

Six arrested after changing Hollywood sign to “HOLLYBOOB”

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-02-01/hollywood-sign-hollyboob-six-arrested

I'm still trying to find someone from my old hometown impressionable enough to carry out my plan to change the "BASILDON" sign to DILDO by covering up the unwanted letters with sheets and putting a fake D over the S.

It's only about 5 feet high so I reckon a crack squad could do it in about 3 minutes with the right prep.

Probably less, drap AS and D in black tarp tightly, and cover the middle inner of B.

This without creating damage.

To make it more apparent; move the covered B next to I.

you should have a photoshop trial run

see if it kerns right

Thereby suggesting that Basildon and its surrounding area should be associated with ecstatic pleasure? A crack squad from the Advertising Standards Authority would have you in handcuffs in 2 minutes.

It's where people want you to go when they tell you to 'go fuck yourself'

Take it from me, it's a f-ing delight compared to Canvey Island!
Good boot fairs all round from memory though.

True, I didn't think of that. You could argue it's just promoting one of the many things on offer at the local car boot sales.

It would never stand up in court.

I bloody love car boot sales, maybe I should move to Essex, and get a car, and learn how to drive.

Amusingly my dad was a regular fixture at every boot fair along the a13/a127 (I was dragged along to many as a kid) and he was also in a childhood band on canvey island that later became Dr Feelgood.

When the Feelgood's played around the local jaunts they even ventured over to Kent to get a broader horizon complete with their equipment in an old pram they bought at a Jumble Sale

This book is good on the early Feelgood days -
